Abstract High-angle wells are becoming coin inon place, particularly in offshore areas. Because of this, it particularly in offshore areas. Because of this, it has become important to increase the deviation angles at which wells can be conventionally logged. Moreover, firm planning factors are needed ...
SPE Members Abstract Nuclear logging provides petroleum exploration and production companies with data that are critical to their decisions and operations. Because this type data is so important, environmentally conscious well-logging and service companies are constantly reviewing the risks to people ...
Abstract With the introduction of new technologies, the energy industry is continually challenged to explore all potential applications. An additional responsibility lies in optimizing the combination of new and existing technologies in highly deviated and horizontal wells to provide useful solutions. ...
Abstract On 18th October 2004, crude oil leak from a sub-sea pipeline transporting crude from offshore oil fields to an onshore crude oil terminal spilled into the South China Sea, 2km off the southwest coast of Labuan Island. Within one hour, oil slick landed on a public beach, and two days later ...
Abstract Oil and gas producers have long been looking for effective sand control methods that allow completion flexibility and improved productivity throughout a well's lifecycle. This paper discusses the many challenges encountered during the planning and completion of two wells in the Egret ...
Abstract With continual increase in water production from maturing reservoirs comes the expense of installation of surface handling equipment, disposal and environmental concerns and a reduction in production efficiency from hydrocarbon producing wells. These costs run into millions of dollars every ...
Abstract Multizone single trip (MST) systems are currently being evaluated for deep water low tertiary (LT) trends1 where multiple sand control intervals are required. However, this technology can be implemented in other applications. This paper will review the use of this system in two case histories. The ...
Abstract This paper describes the experiences from drilling an extended reach well in February 2002 from a North Sea production platform constructed to develop a gas condensate reservoir, into an adjacent mature black oil field that had been previously developed with subsea facilities. The background ...
Abstract Environmental issues have created ever-moving targets for drilling fluids, or muds. Environmental regulations are diverse, complex, and have a tremendous impact on drilling operations, economically as well as logistically. In order to successfslly meet these regulatory constraints, synthetic-based ...
Abstract The Maturin East Seismic Program consists of the exploration of the swamp region which lies to the north and southeast of the state of Monagas, with the intention of locating new fields of petroleum and gas which would permit the increase of national reserves of these permit the increase of ...
Abstract Over its 25-30 year life, the $3.5 billion Chad Export Project will produce ~1 billion barrels of crude oil from three Chadian oilfields for export to world markets. Oilfield area facilities encompass ~250 wells, produced fluids separation and processing units, and supporting infrastructure ...
Abstract Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a new technique for providing depth, volumetric, and time dependent imaging of subsurface salt contamination. The technique has broad applications for planning remediation programs associated with co-produced salt water in flare pits, drilling sumps, ...
Abstract With the increased usage of stronger and tougher tubulars in today's well construction, the ability to shear in the blowout preventor (BOP) without turning to larger operators is an economic necessity. Existing rigs need ways to drill with the high performance steelavailable today without having ...
Introduction The Moncrief field is located approximately 6 miles north of the city of Winnsboro, Franklin County, Tex. The field is productive in two reservoirs--the Smackover Lime at 12,200 ft, which is gas productive, and the Pittsburgh oil sand at 8,250 ft. As originally developed, after discovery ...
Abstract This paper describes the strategies and techniques employed to solve the problems associated with excessive torque during offshore drilling of the Miller Field template wells. A timely solution was required which would enable subsequent platform wells to be drilled economically. When available ...
Abstract Concepts on well multiple zone completion systems applied in marginal wells in Los Perales Oil Field, located in the Gulf of San Jorge Basin, Santa Cruz province Argentina. The field is fully operated by Repsol-YPF. The paper narrates the challenge and experience of completing three marginal ...
ABSTRACT The use of coiled tubing to drill horizontal reentry wells has received considerable interest in the industry over the last two years. The benefit of being able to drill at balance, safely and in a controlled manner, using nitrogen to reduce down hole pressure while drilling highly depleted ...
Abstract This paper reviews Mobil Oil Indonesia's experience in the completion of high temperature, high rate gas wells, gained during ten years as operator for the Arun Field. Over 50 production and injection wells have been completed in the Arun Field, and some of these wells have been worked over ...
