Drilling Support
Drilling Engineering Support

ICON's detailed knowledge of drilling operations ensures that our engineering is focussed on the delivery of value adding solutions and services that help to reduce cost and manage risk.

Typical engineering supprt to drilling operations has included conductor tension plans, conductor analysis, anchoring and mooring plans, rig approach studies and structural analysis.

An example of engineering support to drilling has been the development of an in-house conductor analysis system that allows ICON to determine the required tension and subsequent stresses in the conductor string a given depth and conductor make-up. This analysis can be used to produce a conductor tension plan and determine the optimum tension for a given well.
