Prevent Costly Instability Events
Stability simulations predict breakout, collapse, and ballooning risks before drilling begins. By understanding stress distribution and rock mechanics, engineers can adjust mud weights and trajectories proactively. The result is fewer stuck-pipe events, reduced sidetracks, and smoother well delivery.

LIVE STATE EVOLUTION
Deploy on-prem, private cloud, or isolated networks. Supported hardware tiers: X1/X3 simulators, Laptop, and Online. Teams can also rent the Endeavor Experience Center for executive demos, assessments, or multi-crew exercises. Typical session: configure scenario parameters, run the study and or simulation sessions, review KPIs, and export results.
Yes. Import well data via WITSML 1.4/2.0 or CSV/JSON, or ingest parameters directly through DOT. Any input from the field—well schematics, logs, tool states, rates/pressures—instantiates a real digital twin of the well for hyper-realistic training and operational planning (Drilling Well on Simulator). APIs and versioned adapters are customized upon request.
The model evaluates wellbore stability by coupling stress response, pore pressure, and operational loading rather than static stability charts. Accuracy is strongest for comparing breakout, collapse, and ballooning risk as conditions change. Where formation properties or in-situ stress uncertainty dominates, outcomes are bounded with sensitivity ranges instead of a single deterministic limit.
Inputs typically include the operation configuration—well profile or trajectory, fluid properties, equipment and tool states, boundary conditions, and rate or pressure schedules. Outputs and KPIs capture the scenario’s hydraulic, mechanical, and fluid responses, including pressure and flow behavior across the system, evolving fluid properties, and equipment performance. Results also define , event detection, and time-based cause-and-effect responses to operator actions. Detailed datasets, replays, and assessment metrics can be exported for engineering review, training records, or planning documentation
Enterprise deployments support role-based access control, secure authentication, and encryption of data in transit and at rest. The platform can be deployed on-premise, in private cloud, or in an isolated environment(s) to meet operational and regulatory requirements. Support is provided under defined SLA tiers, with controlled release management and long-term support options available for production environments.
