ABOUT MAKINHOLE & STONER ENGINEERING LLC

 

"We're Makin' Hole"...words most everyone working around drilling love to hear!

 

Our flagship software solution--SES--helps YOU to determine where the payzone exists (technical geosteering) and how to drill it (steering guidance). 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 (pronounced "S"-"E"-"S").

 

Based in Golden, Colorado, makinhole.com is published by Stoner Engineering LLC. Founder and Managing Director--Dr. Michael S. Stoner--created Technical Hole Deviation (THD) and related technology, and the geosteering terms and mathematical concepts 3DStratBlock and Relative Stratigraphic Depth (RSD).

 

SES includes a one-of-a-kind 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 technical support and maintains its more than 35000 lines of code. He authors and publishes related technical papers and the technical content of this web site.

 

Mike also works as an independent consultant to Norwest Questa Engineering Corporation on multiple client projects in a predominantly reservoir engineering and reservoir simulation environment. His expertise from more than 15 years of experience is custom software development, as it relates to oil and gas energy business needs. 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 economics. The value and leadership Mike provides comes from the combination of industry, technical, and computer knowledge & experience. His unique career path provides the strong foundation for superior geosteering/directional software.

We are the only geosteering company first-and-foremost trying to empower YOU with geosteering software so YOU can get control of the interpretation for best decision-making! Every other competitor would rather sell their interpretation services. This was the only option when horizontal drilling was a niche technology applied in relatively few locales; but those days are gone. 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.' Managements are realizing that paying exuberant geosteering service fees isn't the sole option anymore.

 

SES is the most all-encompassing mathematically-advanced horizontal drilling and geosteering software available to industry. If you GeoSteer or drill directionally, please investigate SES 3 (FREE no-risk two-week trial; users manual) to see how improved steering and geologic interpretation will positively affect your bottom line!
