SMC is a partnership of O&G industry professionals that provides bespoke, engineering and operationally focused consulting services that can deliver projects from exploration to mature field production optimization.
SMC is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and was formed by the acquisition of International Consulting A/S out of Bergen Norway. This allowed SMC access to the proprietary work flows and international footprint of International Consulting A/S, whose history dates back to 2011 and whose clients included ConocoPhillips, StatoilHydro ASA and Norsk Hydro ASA.
SMC offers full scale drilling engineering and well construction services as outlined in the scope of services below:

b. Well Planning (trajectory & casing program)
c. Wellcat (casing & tubular analysis)
d. Drilling Engineering (fluids, drill string, hydraulics, drilling program)
e. Drilling Optimization
f. Rig selection and contracting
g. Completion Modeling.
7. Drilling & Completion Operations
8. Contracts, Procurement and logistics management.
With worldwide exposure including experience gained in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin and NorthAmerica, SMC through its subject matter experts have a proven track record of helping clients reduce drilling risk, cut drilling costs, optimize the selection of company assets, enhance production and minimize field abandonment risk through the application of geomechanics to the well design process.
SMC services cover the entire asset lifecycle from prospect evaluation to field abandonment. The development of the SMC process, serves as a platform for dramatically reducing drilling costs and production losses due to stuck pipe, lost circulation, and sand production. Insight into fault seal analysis, fracture permeability, sanding, and depletion mechanisms enable production optimization and reduce exploration risk.
