About CURISTEC

Globally, the reduction of greenhouse gases has transitioned from a simple groundswell into one of tsunamic proportion. The Earth still contains a tremendous amount of energy to be harvested. To produce it, we must be leaders in Green Energy production, i.e., we must produce the Earth’s energy with zero pollution and zero greenhouse gas emission, at the lowest cost possible.

CURISTEC helps its Oil & Gas, Geothermics and Geological storage clients to reach this goal by developing innovative, transverse technological solutions focused on increasing efficiency and lowering cost. CURISTEC’s solutions are based on an integration of its extensive technical and operational experience.

Our Geomechanics and Cementing scientists and engineers help you construct wellbores with the lowest risk and total cost.

Our CurisLab facility provides conventional, advanced, and project specific laboratory testing services.

Our CurisIntegrity simulating platform helps you reduce the complexity of cement integrity modeling and design cement systems.

Our CurisData Well Information Management System (WIMS) provides a seamless communication and data capture tool to reduced non-productive time and cost.

Our R&D projects focus on solutions for your project specific challenges when existing technologies and products are not available.

Curistec Services

A holistic approach for reducing risk during all the life of the well and the field

CURISTEC helps you construct wellbores with the lowest risk and total cost based on a unique geomechanics / cementing transversal approach. CURISTEC’s Well & Field consulting delivers laboratory testing, modeling, and auditing services, using the latest technologies, including the unique CurisData and CurisIntegrity software platforms.

Well stability

Well stability

With CurisStress modeling platform, CURISTEC provides a complete wellbore stability study: evaluate formation mechanical properties, pore pressures, and in situ stresses along the wellbore in order to be able to characterize the fractures mechanical and hydraulic behavior, and evaluate mud weight windows of future wells. CURISTEC realizes Rock testing if required and also provides Wellbore strengthening design.


Field Integrity

Field integrity

With ABAQUS modeling platform, CURISTEC provides Geomechanics modeling at the scale of producing reservoirs: development of 2D / 3D geomechanical models, evaluation of reservoir compaction and surface subsidence, estimation of the risk of fault reactivation, analysis of the integrity of cap rocks, calculation of sand production risks.


Laboratory testing

Laboratory testing and equipment design

With CurisLab a full function materials testing and R&D laboratory with location in Lyon, France. CURISTEC performs cementing, rock, and fluids testing according to API/ISO methods. CURISTEC also offers non-conventional testing based in the testing equipment designed and manufactured by CURISTEC.


Training

Cementing

With CurisIntegrity modeling platform, CURISTEC provides a complete cementing integrity service: ensure a complete cement placement, avoid fluid migration after placement, prevent cement from becoming damaged when submitted to life cycle loadings. CURISTEC uses its various skills to provide Operational Audit.
