At Sekal we are powering change. We believe every well is drillable, every sidetrack is avoidable, and new drilling records are possible – safely. We offer powerful capabilities that turn real-time data into customer value at scale – already fortified by over 450 wells across the globe which have achieved safer, more consistent, and efficient drilling.

• Sekal AS (a Norwegian company) has developed and validated the product in collaboration with Statoil, Saudi Aramco.
• Our proactive Real-time Drilling Optimisation (RTDO) solution anticipates drilling events, avoid delays, and prevent hazards caused by such issues as losses in weak zones, washouts, wellbore ballooning, poor hole cleaning, higher torque and drag, swab and surge, underground blowout, stuck pipe, lost circulation, WOB (not transferred), formation damage and wellbore instability in deviated, horizontal, deep water and ERD wells or challenging vertical wells.

RTDO Solution includes DrillScene® and DrillExpect®.

• DrillScene is a real-time advanced dynamic monitoring, trend analysis and forecasting software. DrillScene autodetects the symptoms leading to drilling event, NPT. Send alarms or notifications to the drilling team well ahead of time.
• As soon as DrillScene anticipates drilling issues, DrillExpect™ (a drilling simulator) uses real-time data to optimise drilling parameters, run What-if Scenarios, Look-Ahead Analysis, to improve drilling performance, reduce NPT, ILT, or prevent hazards anticipated by DrillScene®.

Drill Insight has been assisting Sekal AS with business development, sales, and drilling advisory services. Currently Drillinsight highly skilled, expertiences and trained Drilling Advisors are working with Sekal Aberdeen Ltd. for assisting operators in North Sea, such as, AkerBP, Equinor, etc.

Horizon56

Horizon56 offers a digital ecosystem called H56 for streamlining, standardising, and digitising well construction operations from planning to execution. This suite is being used by operators such as BP, ExxonMobil, Shell, and Equinor, enabling digital workflow from planning to execution (We ensure a digital flow from the well design is made in applications from Oliasoft, SLB or Landmark all the way out to the rig for execution). The H56 suite has helped these operators to digitally collaborate with all stakeholders involved in well construction, creating transparency and situational awareness in real time. We have a global agreement with both Equinor and bp, in addition to several deployments for ExxonMobil, Shell, TotalEnergies and AkerBP. Part of the same H56 ecosystem are solutions for all stakeholders involved in well construction operations. We therefore also work with rig contractors like Archer, Noble, Seadrill, Diamond Offshore, Valaris, etc. With H56, operators can easily create and communicate their SIDs with the entire crew, receive feedback on drafts, create contingency plans, control preparation work with checklists, make modifications, capture lessons learned, and access real-time reports.

At the rig site, the driller is the main user executing the approved SIDs from an H56 screen next to the drilling control system. This setup replaces the manual tally book and has proven to save a significant amount of time for the driller based on more than 50 deployments. Any individual at the rig site who needs access to the SID or is involved in related tasks can be allocated a user login to the system. As the operation progresses, everyone involved can track how the operation is proceeding according to plan and see what has or has not been done.

The system is cloud-based, and access requires secured login and access rights. In case of poor connectivity, a local installation synchronized with the cloud can be set up at the rig site. Being a cloud-based solution, it is easy to deploy, and the training is provided by coaches with domain drilling experience

This Plug and Play solution is scheduled for deployment on Woodside in April 2025 and the Semi Sub “Noble Deliverer” has successfully utilized the H56 platform for creating and approving SIDs, rig communications, and synchronization,

NRG MODELS- PREVISIONS

PreVisions allows CFOs, Financial Analysists and Asset Valuation teams:

• to focus more time on interpretation and less time on developing a tool for various scenarios.
• to calculate investment scenarios, test profitability throughout lifecycle, ensuring that the energy projects are on track and adjustments are implemented at the right time.

 What challenges does PreVisions solve?

Leading energy and investment companies face various challenges, such as making long-term investment decisions during uncertainties and optimising portfolio growth against constraints such as the amount of capital to invest and the timings.

How does PreVisions solve these challenges?

• Using PreVisions’ built-in solution- Operators can improve hydrocarbon asset investments by integrating economic modelling with capital planning.
• Commercial team can perform NPV/IRR breakeven, and sensitivity analysis on 10+ key input parameters, and scenario modelling.
• To ensure confidentiality and safeguard sensitive data, input hydrocarbon costs are masked and layered before technical/production forecasting team run sensitivities while adding production profiles.
• Full overview of production forecasts, cost profiles, taxation (incl. CO2 taxation where applicable) and cash positions.
