Wells

We deliver well services from concept to execution — combining deep engineering expertise with real-world operational experience. Our teams plan, design, and manage wells across the full lifecycle, in every major environment and jurisdiction.
Get in touch

Our global wells teams bring together industry-leading technical knowledge with proven operational delivery — from initial feasibility and permitting through to wellsite execution and abandonment.

We support all well types and phases across onshore, offshore, subsea, and deepwater projects — integrating seamlessly with our subsurface, facilities, and project management teams for efficient delivery.

 Project was delivered 10% under budget
“..with this being  the first major operation since 2008 for the assets located within the Adriatic Sea, overall, it has been an outstanding campaign in terms of well operations. The support received from the various functions and the Asset team has been excellent.”
Well Delivery Manager
Energean - Italy
Overview
Elemental Energies delivered detailed planning and safe execution of four offshore well plug and abandonment (P&A) operations—three at San Stefano Mare and one at San Giorgio Mare—along with a slot recovery to support future field development.
Challenge
Executing four P&A operations and one slot recovery across ageing infrastructure required meticulous planning, precise coordination, and adaptive engineering solutions to manage obsolete wellhead systems and complex downhole configurations.
Solution
Our team successfully applied Perforate, Wash, and Cement (PWC) technology to deliver secure well abandonments and executed dual-completion fishing operations on two wells – achieving reliable isolation, high efficiency, and strong safety performance.
Well Project Management
We have delivered over 700 wells globally, managing aspects from integrated studies and planning through to drilling and completion. Our experience spans conventional, HPHT, ERD, deepwater, and multi-lateral wells across the full lifecycle.
Track record across all environments: onshore, offshore, subsea, deepwater
Comprehensive QHSE management ensuring safety and compliance
Expert logistics and marine coordination for seamless operations
Well Operatorship
With extensive past experience assuming full well operatorship, we provide dedicated teams across subsurface, well engineering, well operations, well integrity, decommissioning, and QHSE. Our robust Safety, Environmental, and Net-Zero policies meet regulatory requirements, supported by comprehensive management systems that ensure compliance, competency, and resource planning across complex, multi-project operations. We maintain transparent safety and environmental performance records, driving continuous improvement and net-zero ambitions.
Proven track record managing operatorship across diverse well lifecycle phases
Integrated teams delivering end-to-end operator capabilities and regulatory compliance
Committed to net-zero and continual environmental improvement
Well Planning and Design
Our drilling engineers design complex wells in jurisdictions around the world — covering BHA and directional design, casing design, drilling fluids and cement design, well control management, and rig selection.
Full-spectrum design: HPHT, ERD, multilateral, deepwater
Expert planning across BHA, fluids, rig and well architecture
Integrated with subsurface and facilities teams for optimisation
Well Test and Completion Design
We deliver testing and completion designs for all well types, with proven experience in subsea and deepwater operations. Our expertise includes open and cased-hole gravel packs, DSTs, and stimulation planning.
Deepwater and subsea completions and well testing experience
Gravel pack, frac-pack, and stimulation expertise
Design aligned with production, reservoir and intervention needs
Production Technology
Our production technology specialists work across the full well lifecycle — from inflow performance and artificial lift design to sand control, stimulation, and flow assurance. We help clients maximise recovery, reduce downtime, and manage late-life and challenging production conditions, with a strong focus on practical, field-ready solutions.
Inflow performance modelling, artificial lift & stimulation design
Sand control, wax/hydrate management & flow assurance strategies
Integrated support across exploration, production & late-life wells
Subsea Engineering
Our dedicated subsea team provides engineering support across well delivery — from XT and control systems design to installation planning. We support rig interface, equipment selection, and intervention readiness.
Subsea XT, tree systems and controls engineering
Interface planning across rig, ROV, and vessel operations
Integrated with well engineering and completion planning
Well Integrity and Intervention
We provide integrity management and intervention planning for onshore, platform, and subsea wells. Our expertise includes phase-zero, workover, and LWIV-based interventions using modular and hydraulic rigs
Intervention using LWIVs, modular rigs, and coiled tubing
Integrity planning aligned with regulatory standards
Field-wide integrity studies and remediation strategies
Well Abandonment
Our P&A teams lead end-of-life planning and execution across subsea and platform wells. We support early studies, detailed engineering, regulatory planning, and wellsite delivery — including novel barrier technologies.
Full-scope P&A across jurisdictions and regulations
Platform and subsea experience, including LWIV deployment
Leaders in new P&A methods and technology application
