Abstract This paper will discuss the use and advantages of employing snubbing units during and after well control operations. The benefits of snubbing units compared to coiled tubing are widely known and generally accepted in the industry. During some well control operations the advantages a snubbing ...
Abstract ARCO's Kuparuk River Field on Alaska's North Slope is a high cost operating environment. In the face of declining reservoir pressures, ARCO began using electric submersible pumps to augment production. Installing and pulling these units carries a very high cost due to the need to ...
Abstract The reasons behind Statoil choosing to include continuous circulation in HPHT Managed Pressure Drilling operations in the Kvitebjørn Field in the North Sea are explained. The paper will also discuss the preparations for the operation and the equipment and manpower required to enable the Continuous ...
Abstract A programme of boreholes to depths up to 2000 m for the investigation of potential sites for the UK national repository for the disposal of low and intermediate level radio active waste included the requirement for high quality continuous coring through a range of geologies, a 159 mm (6-1/4 ...
American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers, Inc. This paper was prepared for the 49th Annual Fall Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, to be held in Houston, Texas, Oct. 6-9, 1974. Permission to copy is restricted to an abstract of not more than 300 words. ...
Abstract Papua New Guinea is a country in the South Pacific with a population of 6.7 million. Residents speak over 800 languages and live in a primarily rural agrarian society considered to be one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. Into this framework, Esso Highlands Limited, an affiliate of ...
This examination of the motion compensator concludes that it is one of the biggest advances made in offshore drilling in recent years. Analysis of the operation of rigs equipped with motion compensators indicates a saving of about 16 days per rig-year. Optimum bit loads allow maximum penetration rates ...
Abstract A comparison is made between the amount of interstitial water found by analysisin cores and that estimated from the resistivity curve of the electric log forthe corresponding strata of producing reservoirs. It is shown that while thedetermined and the estimated water saturations are in good ...
Abstract The Cerro Dragon asset, located in the highly mature area of Golfo San Jorge Basin, Argentina, has around 30 producing structures; each one containing from 20 to 50 separate, highly heterogeneous, reservoir horizons, from 6 to 30 feet thick. From 1999 to 2005 proved reserves increased threefold ...
Abstract Thorough experimental studies were conducted to assess the effectiveness of a drag reducing agent (DRA) to increase the flow capacity of transfer line that supplies treated seawater to power water injectors in carbonate reservoirs and ensure it has no adverse impact on water wells injectivity. ...
Abstract Synergy between the horizontal drilling and openhole completion disciplines is required to deliver a reliable high-rate well completion in soft rock formations. This gap has finally been bridged, and the resulting success has allowed it to be considered as a mainstay completion technique in ...
Abstract Drilling into a hydrogen-sulphide (H2S) rich formation presents risks that the highly toxic gas might be carried to the surface and released, thus creating a serious hazard. To mitigate this risk, it is standard practice to run the drilling mud at high pH and to include a sulphide scavenger. ...
Abstract Donggi Structure is one of the gas field prospected in Banggai Basin, Central Sulawesi. Donggi-1 (DNG-1), which is the first well drill in this field, was drilled in August 14, 2001 and was reached TD at 2498.5 m. The drilling in this well has been successfully done without any major problem ...
Abstract One technological concept that has been capable of successfully coordinating drilling and completion disciplines is horizontal openhole gravel packing. The synergy required to deliver a reliable high-rate well completion has been evidenced in recent completions, and the successful results ...
A system involving the use of a surface-tension modifier is feasible for controlling and recovering oil spilled on the ocean in a wide range of weather conditions. Tests have led to the conclusion that the chemicals are less harmful to the ecology than are the oils they help to recover. Introduction In ...
Abstract Aiming at the actuality of horizontal well fracturing modified technology is complicated and limited entry fracture treatment is restricted in internal and overseas low-permeability oilfield currently. The studied and experimented that using packer performed the staged fracturing and corollary ...
Abstract The Agbara field is operated by Agip Energy and Natural Resources (AENR) under a service contract with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The field lies approximately 30-40 Km from the coast in the Niger Delta offshore in water depth ranging between 55-70 m. It is located in ...
Abstract Health impact assessments (HIAs) have been used for a number of years in the public sector to assess the potential for impacts associated with urban redevelopment projects. HIAs can also serve as a valuable tool in the evaluation of capital projects in the oil and gas sector. Conducting HIAs ...
Abstract A number of highly deviated gas producing wells in the southern area of the Ghawar field of Saudi Arabia were recently perforated using coiled tubing (CT) conveyed guns. However, after performing several jobs, it was found that the cost of using the tubing conveyed perforating (CT-TCP) approach ...
Abstract The removal of solids from the Tyonek field gas wells has proven to be a major challenge for the operator. The field has an exceptionally low bottom hole pressure gradient of ~0.1 psi/ft. This means that traditional two phase sand removal operations using coiled tubing had not been successful. ...
