A directional program built for operational reliability.

Torque & Drag Modeling
Every run is modeled in-house using actual BHA geometry and mechanical specs to define safe operating envelopes for torque, differential pressure, and WOB.

Hydraulics Validation
Flow regimes are simulated using real mud properties from the operator. Expected ΔP, ECD, and motor performance curves are verified before anything leaves the shop.

Design Review
Every BHA receives a multi-discipline review to confirm bend settings, stabilizer placement, bit strategy, and reamer configuration.

Risk Register
Mechanical and geological risks are identified, quantified, and assigned mitigation steps. Nothing goes unaddressed before spud.

Tool Verification
Motors and MWD systems are fully pressure-tested, function-tested, and electronically logged for traceability.

Calibration Review
Directional sensors and gamma modules are rechecked for magnetic accuracy, temperature stability, and signal clarity.

QC Ownership
Certification requires two independent approvals by shop QC and Bird Dog operations. Nothing moves without both.

Shipment Documentation
Serial numbers, calibration reports, and modeled operating envelopes are included in a pre-spud data package for the operator.

Unified Oversight
Directional and MWD decisions run through a single Bird Dog chain of command. No silos. No crossed wires.

Real-Time Monitoring
Torque, ΔP, RPM, WOB, vibration, flow, and pulse signature are monitored live. Alerts trigger automatically when readings drift beyond modeled limits.

Immediate Response
Deviations are addressed in real time with support from Denver Ops. Problems aren’t reviewed later, they’re corrected now.

Direct Reporting
Every Bird Dog hand reports vertically, ensuring accountability, clarity, and fast escalation.

Full Teardowns
Motors and MWD systems are broken down within 24 hours to identify wear patterns, heat signatures, swelling, erosion, or mechanical stress.

Wear Pattern Documentation
Bearings, elastomers, and drive components are compared to modeled expectations and real-world torque/ΔP logs.

Run-Life Analysis
Components are classified by mechanical, operational, or environmental failures for traceability.

Closed-Loop Feedback
All findings feed directly into Bird Dog’s reliability database and are applied to the next well plan.

Run Summaries
Every job receives a full mechanical and operational summary: ROP, torque/pressure history, survey integrity, and downtime events with lessons learned.

Trend Analysis
Bird Dog benchmarks torque spikes, stalls, motor load, pulse behavior, and parameter compliance across wells to identify improvement opportunities.

Operator Access
Optional post-well reporting includes visualized traces and trend summaries.

Continuous Calibration
Findings from analytics drive tool selection, parameters, and planning for the next well.

Ownership Culture
The people who build the plan are the people who run the well. No handoffs. No middle-management fog.

Rapid Response Protocol
Any deviation from plan triggers a documented review within 12 hours and a corrective action distributed across the company.

Zero-Deflection Policy
We don’t assign blame. We solve problems. Every failure is treated as a shared operational challenge.

Operator Transparency
Clients are included in every close-out review with clear explanations of what happened, why it happened, and what changed to prevent a repeat.
