Codeco-Vanoco Engineering is a Calgary based engineering company that is focused on both renewable and non-renewable resource projects, that affords our clients access to leading technology for their projects. We have the software solutions and technical expertise to offer unmatched value in:
Well Planning (Trajectory Design)
Codeco-Vanoco uses industry recognized directional planning software, such as Landmark’s COMPASS™ software to generate well trajectory plan for directional, horizontal and multi-lateral wells. We provide 2D and 3D directional and horizontal well planning with wall plots and anti-collision in a detailed report with spider and 3D proximity plot. Codeco-Vanoco also does SAGD Well Planning and horizontal well pad location layout work for commercial optimization applications.
Torque and drag problems are very common during drilling and casing running operations. Codeco-Vanoco uses K&M’s ERA (Extended Reach Analysis) or Landmark’s Wellplan™ software to provide Torque & Drag Analysis (TDA) for high angle and horizontal well profiles and as built survey applications. TDA modeling can be monitored during drilling operations and compared to the pre-plan model to allow for operational optimization.
Codeco-Vanoco uses Fractical Solution’s QFLOW™ Software to predict the pressure and phase behavior in a steam injection well. Steam distribution modeling is fundamental in sizing casing for a Steam Injection project, and especially important in pressure sensitive operations like Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage Projects. QFLOW™ can simulate insulated tubing and outflow control devices.
