First Time in Kuwait - Multi-Lateral Well Strategy with Combining Two Different Regime Reservoir in Northern Field Kuwait- An Innovative Solution for Successful Operation

North Kuwait in Sabriyah Field has ambitious production target with minimizing surface foot-print by drilling and completing the development of horizontal well with multi-lateral well architecture. The high angle multi-lateral wells architecture was studied for the first time for improving the production from Tuba formation with result to drill three legs with targeting at Upper Tuba and other three legs well targeting in lower tuba carbonate. These six will be combined in one single mother bore to the surface and the type of the multi-lateral is level-IV multilateral architecture. This architecture is considered for optimizing lateral swept with less wells being drilled from surfaces and enabling of the flexibility to extract the production from either the lower laterals and upper laterals. Multi disciplinary approach need to be taken to ensuring the successful of the deployment of the multilateral level IV architecture. Directional drilling and drilling engineering approach for re-entry the each legs from the main motherbore, well placement solution to ensure the all six laterals are in the target reservoir are the approach to be discussed on this paper.
