In drilling, even a moment of oversight can lead to costly delays, equipment damage, or safety incidents. That’s why leading operators are turning to real-time solutions to stay ahead of hazards before they escalate. Corva’s Drilling Hazard Avoidance Software empowers teams with advanced analytics and real-time monitoring tools that mitigate risk, boost operational integrity, and improve well outcomes across the board.
See Hazards Before They Happen
Hazard avoidance isn’t just about reacting to issues—it’s about preventing them. Corva equips drilling teams with the tools to detect and avoid trouble areas in real time. From poor hole cleaning to surge and swab events, our platform delivers a complete toolkit to protect your crews, your wellbore, and your bottom line.
Key Tools for Safer Drilling
- Hookload Broomstick Plot: Spot potential hole cleaning and reaming issues early with real-time visualizations comparing actual hookload readings—pick-up, slack-off, and rotating-off-bottom—to predictive models. Stay ahead of problems that can lead to stuck pipe or unplanned trips.
- Procedural Compliance: Monitor adherence to critical drilling procedures like back-to-bottom practices. Automatically track parameters like RPM, differential pressure zeroing, and weight on bit to ensure consistent execution and compliance with best practices.
- Tortuosity and Dogleg Severity Monitoring: Understand wellbore quality in real time. Corva tracks tortuosity and dogleg severity using both cumulative and absolute metrics, helping you identify trends that could impact tool life or restrict future well operations.
- Trip Sheet Automation: Eliminate manual documentation delays with automated trip sheet creation. Detect well control issues as they occur and capture operational events with high precision, reducing reporting errors and enabling faster responses.
- Flowback Fingerprinting: Identify gains or losses between connections by comparing real-time flowback patterns against historical data. This advanced tracking helps crews detect kick warning signs or losses during drilling without relying on guesswork.
- Surge and Swab Monitoring: Manage effective circulating density in real time to avoid formation breakdown or influx. During tripping operations, Corva provides instant alerts for high-risk surge or swab scenarios, empowering crews to take action before a well control event occurs.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Across drilling programs large and small, Corva’s hazard avoidance solutions are delivering measurable results:
- One operator saved $175,000 per well by using Corva’s Procedural Compliance App to enforce standardized operational practices.
- Real-time flowback fingerprinting helped avoid kicks and improved well control in high-risk wells.
- Operators using Corva’s hookload and surge/swab monitoring tools have prevented stuck pipe incidents, keeping wells on track and under budget.
The Future of Safe, Data-Driven Drilling
Corva’s Drilling Hazard Avoidance Software isn’t just a set of safety features—it’s a fully integrated safety intelligence system. By detecting anomalies early, streamlining compliance, and offering clear visual feedback, it enables teams to make smarter decisions in the moments that matter most.
