Nikolay Smirnov is a recognized Russian expert in geomechanics that in 2005 founded this discipline for Russian oil and gas industry. He had successfully solved numerous problems in the industry, such as drilling through “chocolate” clays, problems of horizontal wells on Achimov and Jurasic sediments, also looking at Bazhen-Abalak formation development issues, problems of developing shelf prospects with extended reach wells, problems of multistage fracturing, reservoir issues like sanding and many others.  Smirnov started his career in Schlumberger Sedco-Forex in 1997 as a Drilling Engineer, working in West Africa. Throughout his carrier Smirnov was working as senior geomechanics engineer at Holditch-Reservoir Technologies in Houston Texas, which eventually became Data and Consulting services of Schlumberger Technologies. In 2005 Smirnov initiated geomechanics development in Russia as Geomechanics Domain Head for Schlumberger Russia and later expanding to Central Asia. Before coming to Russia Smirnov was developing Geomechanics technology in Beijing, China.

Nikolay Smirnov had authored and co-authored over 20 technical papers and patents. He graduated from Novosibirsk State University with degree in Geology and Geophysics.

RECENT TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS IN WELL CONSTRUCTION

ABSTRACT

The value proposition of most integration well construction projects aims to deliver predictable well construction projects through collaborative leadership and risk management. Similar to the application of collaborative leadership engagement between the operator and the integrated project contractor to driving performance in scope and time management, the proven global incentive commercial models best practices can be adopted in the Russian land drilling context to a foster sense of joint commercial responsibility among all stakeholders in the well construction delivery process.

This paper provides a prescriptive methodology and criteria for the adoption of a «Russianized» version of globally proven incentive commercial models for managed integrated well construction projects, which could potentially ensure that wells are drilled on-budget for customers and profitably for integrated contractors.

ABSTRACT

Projects in the oil industry carry significant risks of not being successful, or being not economically sound, for different reasons. In current realities of the oil market and technology, selection of a correct approach to drilling, completion, development and production require internally consistent understanding of the entire chain of the project, at as early as possible stages. In this presentation we are shedding the light on the main ideology-engineering approach and steps, required to accordingly influencing different risks, during the main stages of the life of the field. Engineering approach allows building the right strategy of the main stages and significantly improving economics of the project.

ABSTRACT

Currently in Russia the part of horizontal and ERD wells has annual consistent growth. This happens because of increased number of remote oilfields, located especially in Yamal, Caspian region, northern part of Krasnoyarsk region and etc. New offshore projects, as well as prospective projects for unconventional resources significantly increases demand of new next-generation wells. Complexity and costs of development of the oilfield which were mentioned above is always raises the question about feasibility of the projects. Significant part in development of this kind of oilfields is represents by the most recent technologies in directional drilling, completion and other existing technology solutions. Moreover, the cheapest technological solutions are not the most effective in the most of the cases. Implementation of recent technology solutions in combination with manufacturing localization of their components could significantly improve project’s economics.

In 1999 Vasily graduated from Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas; in 2014 – from the International Business School - Duke Corporate Education.
