ABOUT MAKINHOLE & STONER ENGINEERING LLC

 

"We're Makin' Hole"...words most everyone working around drilling love to hear! Based in Golden, Colorado, makinhole.com is published by Stoner Engineering LLC.

 

Our software solution--SES (pronounced "S"-"E"-"S")--helps to determine where the payzone exists (technical geosteering) and how to drill it (steering guidance). DON'T BE FOOLED BY OUR LOW PRICES COMPARED TO THE COMPETITION! SES is cheaper because we want your business!

 

SES is for geologists who are dissatisfied with drafting-tool methods of geosteering. SES is 3D technical geosteering software that makes wellbore stratigraphic tracking quick-n-easy, accurate, and easily shared. Unlike any other geosteering software, SES provides a complete suite of software features to handle all of your horizontal drilling needs.

 

Our mission is to help you master geosteering and get better control and understanding of the interpretation. Unlike our competition, we publish our users manual online, post our prices online, publish training series videos online, and regularly take your feedback and enhance the software! See who's using SES today. See our progression. It's only getting better from here...SES v4.5 is being written right now!

 

Whether you're drilling and geo-interpreting horizontal wells LIVE, or need to truly enhance your geologic model and reservoir understanding to help explain production/injection behaviors, you can do it and much more with SES. Horizontal drilling is exploration, but only if you look carefully will you find what's clearly there!

 

Why SES now? The days of horizontal drilling being a niche technology are forever gone. Every technical professional working around horizontal drilling needs to understand technical geosteering because of how it effects outcomes. Operating company geologists everywhere realize that significant value comes from application of their expertise on their wells, and doing so requires 'getting dirty with the data' and understanding the technology. Managements are realizing that paying exuberant geosteering service fees isn't the sole option anymore.

 

SES is the most all-encompassing feature-rich mathematically-advanced horizontal drilling and geosteering software available to industry. If you Geosteer or drill directionally, please investigate SES 4 to see how improved steering and geologic interpretation will positively affect your bottom line! (FREE no-risk two-week trial available upon request; screen captures; download; users manual)

 

SES includes a one-of-a-kind (i.e., patent-protected) Fuzzy Logic based directional steering advisory & monitoring system to further help execute enhanced directional steering & reservoir navigation.

 

Dr. Mike Stoner* - Stoner Engineering LLC Founder and Managing Director

 

Dr. Stoner currently manages SES sales and technical support. He authors and publishes related technical papers, the content of this web site, and the ever-growing SES users manual. He created Technical Hole Deviation (THD) and related technology, and the geosteering terms and mathematical concepts 3DStratBlock and Relative Stratigraphic Depth (RSD).

 

Before SES, Mike worked as a subcontracting engineering/programming consultant (Wright Consulting Company, Norwest Corporation, Norwest Questa Engineering, Questa Engineering) for numerous end clients on predominantly reservoir engineering and reservoir simulation projects. His technical expertise is custom software development as it relates to oil and natural gas business needs, from more than 16 years of experience. Before consulting, Mike worked temporary drilling and production positions for Anadarko Petroleum, Texaco E&P, and Oryx Energy. He specialized in drilling engineering while working for Professor Emeritus Dr. Billy J. Mitchell for six years at Colorado School of Mines.

 

Dr. Stoner is well-trained in database programming, directional drilling mathematics, and petroleum engineering. He has created literally dozens of proprietary custom software applications and systems in the energy consulting environment related to reservoir, production, drilling, and oil/gas/CBM field economics. The value and leadership Mike provides come from combinations of industry, technical, and computer knowledge & experience, as well as an inherent thirst to help people help themselves. His unique career path has fueled the deliberate practice required to sustain superior software.
