Abstract: A method for controlling, tailoring, monitoring and executing a pumping operation of a wellbore treatment into a wellbore with an advisory process accessing pumping simulation results from a pumping model group. The advisory process can determine a change in the wellbore environment by comparing periodic datasets indicative of a pumping operation to a set of operational threshold values. The advisory process can identify the change in the wellbore environment from pumping simulation results generated by a pumping model group with pumping model inputs comprising portions of the periodic datasets. The advisory process can generate a modified pumping procedure in response to the identification of the change in the wellbore environment. The pumping model group can generate and forecast a probability of the pumping operation achieving a job objective.

Abstract: A method of designing a grout material for an anchoring pile system based on the analysis of a stress state of the anchoring pile constructed into a subterranean formation. An advisory process can utilize a model to produce a numerical model of the anchoring pile, a model to determine the operational loads, a model to determine the grout material, and a model to determine the stress state of the grout interfaces. The group of models can determine a probability of failure of the grout material, a probability of failure of a grout interface, and a predicted lifespan of the grout materials.
