Proposal The Gulf of Thailand (GOT) has been producing oil and gas for approximately twenty four years and, at present, water production is becoming a serious dilemma for some operators.Because most of the production from the GOT is from co-mingled monobores, having multiple pay sands of highly variable ...
SPE Members Abstract This paper reviews through-tubing recompletion technology, the isolation and/or addition of perforations in a wellbore without pulling the existing production equipment. Topics covered include through-tubing plugbacks and bridge plugs, coiled tubing cementing and through-tubing ...
Abstract In an offshore mature asset workover jobs involve high cost and operational risk that impact on the profitability of the projects. Non-rig interventions are a more sustainable approach to effectively sustain production. The fact that some reservoirs are depleted while many are water flushed ...
Abstract The Petroleum Industry has been one of the backbone of the Indonesian Economic Development since the first Five Year Development Plan (1969/1970 - 1974/1975). Its contribution to Gross National Product (GNP) ranges from 40 to 70 percent. In addition, this industry has substantially generated ...

This paper was prepared for the 45th Annual California Regional Meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of AIME, to be held in Ventura, Calif., April 2-4, 1975. Permission to copy is restricted to an abstract of not more ...
Abstract In order to avoid increasing the total environmental footprint of an operation while trying to decrease one of its component parts, a modification for use in a freshwater environment of the traditional 96-hr LC50 toxicity test for drilling fluids and a screening tool for using an appropriate ...
Abstract A UK North Sea operator presented a challenging opportunity for the development of a contingency recovery system to be designed for deployment from an intervention vessel. The main requirement of the contingency tool was that it be capable of recovering coiled tubing that is subsequently left ...
Environmental literature has been greatly concerned with possible detrimental effects of continued produced-water discharges in offshore and coastal areas. This review paper presents results from a number of studies that should relieve some of these concerns. Introduction This paper reviews the constituents ...
Abstract This paper describes integrated workover and re-completion techniques to successfully restore productivity of Saman gas reservoir, a carbonate reservoir with H2S (vol. 3.0%) and CO2 (vol.3.6%) in Turkmenistan. Using existing old wells that have ever been producing for 5 years and already shut-in ...
SPE Members Abstract A new, slimline, fully-retrievable, Directional MWD tool (DMWD), is finding new applications for and benefits from MWD. Case histories illustrate how compact size and full retrievability are extending MWD into areas of high stuck-pipe risk, small holes, high-temperature drilling, ...
Abstract Traditionally Wireline logging tools are rated for continuous operation to 350°F and 20,000 psi downhole conditions. With many reservoirs exceeding these limits, the need for specialized, High-Pressure and/or High-Temperature Wireline tools has been an issue for some time. Sensors were accordingly ...
Abstract It is anticipated that the infrastructures used to exploit the reservoirs of the Balmoral, Glamis and Sterling fields, in the UK Continental Shelf, will be decommissioned within the next two to three years. Agip (U.K.) Ltd intends to decommission the installations in full accordance with the ...
Abstract Weight transfer and helical buckling eventually leading to lock up is an issue that the industry has had to deal with since the outset of the use of coiled tubing. Limitations imposed by this restriction have reduced the number of available applications that can be carried out. The use of ...
Abstract Agip KCO is involved in appraisal and development activities in the Kazakhstan sector of the North Caspian Sea and recognizes its responsibility in protection of unique biodiversity of the region. As a part of its sustainable development strategy and environmental protection / management ...
Abstract Laboratory and field experience indicates that simple universal drilling and completion fluids, suitable for all applications, can be built around brines based on the alkali-metal salts of formic acid. The formate brines have been subjected to a thorough hazard identification and assessment ...
E.I.A. Methodology Implementation by Field Studies of Environmental and Socioeconomic Impacts Due to E&P Activities in the Mediterranean Sabina Ratti, AGIP S.p.A., Alfonso Modica Centro Oceanologico Mediterraneo S.C.p.A., Luigi Ceffa, AGIP S.p.A., Giancarlo Di Luise AGIP S.p.A., Adelio Panzeri, AGIP ...
Abstract This paper presents a case history on drilling of an ultra-deep exploratory well with a lot of problems and final solution in a complicated K structure in Uzbekistan. Drilling troubles include serious stuckpipe resulted from drilling-in the unexpected high pressure brine formation, malfunction ...
Abstract Although the last oil well fire was announced dead officially on 6th November 1992, the oil wells were far away from being ready to be put back on stream for oil production which is the main source of income for a war- torn country. This paper presents more accurate statistics of the Fire ...
Abstract This paper describes a fiber-optic downhole video system deployed on coiled tubing. A state-of-the-art inspection system has been developed that combines proven coiled tubing components, innovative cable termination methods, and the latest downhole video and fiber-optic cable technology. This ...
Abstract When operating in sensitive environments, mangroves and other areas with high biodiversity require broad environmental assessments that consider the full range of habitats as well as ecological processes and functions. The objective of this paper is to provide site managers and other environmental ...
