EXTENDED REACH DRILLING
ERD / COMPLEX WELL ENGINEERING
HXR provides specialized, highly detailed ERD engineering design, rigsite engineering services, and operational training classes to clients worldwide. Using ERDPro®, one of the most advanced modular drilling engineering software suites on the market today and developed specifically to address the needs Read More
WELLBORE STABILITY / GEOMECHANICS
HXR offers real-time Wellbore Stability services using modules from the acclaimed BHI/GMI JewelSuite™ GeoMechanics software. Our office and on-site Wellbore Stability Specialists can model, monitor and forecast wellbore stability of the borehole as it is being drilled, and can give RT input into any potential instability issues.

DEEPWATER DRILLING
DEEPWATER ENGINEERING
HXR Drilling Services is an emerging leader in Deepwater Drilling engineering. From exploration activities in Brazil, to large-scale developments in West Africa and HPHT shelf projects in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea, the world is continually turning to offshore drilling to keep production rates up.

PORE PRESSURE EVALUATION
The core of HXR’s Deepwater Drilling division is our pore pressure evaluation service. It is a critical element to any drilling operation, and allows for the drilling operation to be conducted in a safe fashion, with minimum risk to personnel or the environment. The proper placement of casing points and MW is key to this. Read More
WELCOME TO HXR DRILLING SERVICES
HXR Drilling Services is a U.S.-based drilling engineering company that specializes in Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) and Deepwater HPHT Drilling. With offices in Houston, Texas, and Anchorage, Alaska, HXR is an emerging leader in the design and supervision of complex ERD and deepwater wells. We provide complete well design, on-site drilling engineering supervision and training, advanced pore pressure modeling and analysis, and real-time wellbore stability/ geomechanics.
HXR has developed two of the most advanced engineering software suites available today — ERDPro®, our advanced well design software, and Deepwater/HPHT Drilling using DEEPWATERPro®, our pore pressure prediction software. ERDPro® offers full T&D, hydraulics and S/S design capability, as well as field engineering and data collection features, including MPD calculations. DEEPWATERPro® has the capability to model and predict formation pore pressure near real time at multiple points along a 3-D wellpath, rather than using a single seismic/ sonic velocity stack, and it is specifically designed for long stepout wells in offshore environments. In addition, HXR’s Wellbore Stability and Geomechanics Specialists use GMI’s Presscheck™, Wellcheck™, and SFIB™ software suites that offer not only front-end wellbore stability design, but also real-time geomechanical modeling capabilities while drilling.
