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).

 

Unlike our competition, our mission is to empower you to master geosteering. We publish our user manual, post our prices, publish training series videos, and regularly listen to feedback and enhance the software. See who's using SES today. See our progression. SES is only getting better from here!

 

Whether you're geosteering live or enhancing your geologic model to help explain horizontal well production/injection behaviors, you can do it and much more with SES. Horizontal drilling is exploration, but only when you look carefully do you find what's clearly there!

 

SES is the most 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...download)

 

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

 

Dr. Mike Stoner* - Founder and Managing Director

 

Dr. Stoner currently manages SES license sales and technical support. He authors and publishes related technical papers, the content of this web site, and the ever-growing SES user 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 18 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 as a student for 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 full-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, practical software.
