The mission of the Well Construction Technology Center is to provide the energy sector with the development and implementation of innovative technologies that will improve the efficiency and economic viability of drilling, completions, and production operations.
The Well Construction Technology Center (WCTC) was established in 1993 to aid the oil and gas industry in solving well-bore problems and conducting research projects. The research uses advanced technology and field and lab-scale equipment to investigate and provide solutions to various industrial problems in the areas of drilling fluids, wellbore hydraulics, hole cleaning, coiled tubing, wellbore integrity, degradation of tubulars, cement, and other sealing elements, development and testing of downhole tools, multiphase flow, surface, and downhole separation techniques.
