While the drilling environment is becoming
increasingly complex, experienced resources are
getting scarce, and capital is expensive, there is
an immediate need for tools and methods that
make use of this vast experience and embrace
new technologies.
WAFE is a risk management
system for decision-making in a highly volatile and
uncertain environment and has been developed to
run your drilling campaign in a risk-mitigated and
cost-effective way.

BOPTEST | A novel approach towards the testing of your Blow Out Preventer
Blowout Preventers (BOPs) and choke manifolds are key pieces of drilling rig
equipment to prevent the uncontrolled release of potentially hazardous formation
fluids to surface. One of the required tests is to verify if the valves are capable of
holding pressure. BOPTEST offers you a structured and time saving approach to 1)
minimize the number of test sets and 2) to identify leakage. Recently, the BOP
terminology has gained prominence and public attention as a result of the Macondo
blow-out, which resulted in oil-spill in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of the USA.

WAFE | Well Assurance for Engineering out your Risk
Methodologies about risk
management are well published. At
the same time, it is widely
acknowledged that in many
circumstances, the understanding of
risk is still poor.  

This often becomes painstakingly
clear when managing risk is driven
by (a series of unwanted and)
unforeseen events leading to ad-hoc
decision-making. The adoption of a
framework that combines
experience, knowledge and rigorous
analytical methods to efficiently
research the impact of both likely
and unlikely events, is therefore of
vital importance.
In close collaboration with drilling managers, superintendents and drilling supervisors, we have
developed a set of systems that address uncertainty and risk explicitly and allow you to engineer out
your risks during the planning and execution phase.

As a decision technology company we are active for selected target markets, where we have the
insights to migrate proven methodologies, methods and techniques between industries and turn them
into client-specific-situation-fit solutions. Below a selection of some solutions that are used by our
clients.
FAULTSEAL| Determine the sealing potential of faults in sand/shale sequences
While the method has been developed by Prof. Dr. Nieuwland from NewTec, New
Frontier Solutions deployed some additional technology from the field of
Operations Research, such that the analysis can assist you with effective
decision-making when it comes to determining the sealing potential of faults in
sand/shale sequences.

Managing Risk & Uncertainty
RIGMOVER | Managing of complex rig move
Rigmoves can be time-consuming and complex, particularly in remote locations
where an appropriate rig move strategy requires decisions on which
transportation means to select, the sequence of wells to be drilled taking into
account numerous complex constraints from multiple stake-holders.

RIGMOVER is a decision support system that allows you to optimize your rigmove
given the spud-date. Selection of fleet, land access , building of complex loads for
heli, barge and trucks and detailed scheduling are integrated in one single system.
