Case Studies
Six examples across well examination, risk assessment, P&A, due diligence, management systems and feasibility. Click any card for the full story.
No regulatory framework existed in New Zealand. SPD authored the entire system and delivered all 11 certificates without a single delay to drilling.
150 years of drilling history, no responsible parties, extreme data gaps. SPD built a 26-attribute risk ranking tool and delivered individual abandonment strategies for every well.
Heterogeneous well stock, incomplete cement records. SPD delivered individual designs, assessed rigless options and produced a submission accepted first time.
The vendor’s package understated the integrity position. SPD found undisclosed barrier failures and secured a meaningful purchase price adjustment.
No DMS existed. SPD ran discovery workshops, authored a full three-tier document hierarchy accepted by the regulator without material comment.
Multiple candidates looked attractive on paper. SPD screening eliminated the flawed ones. Both recommended wells performed above forecast.
