... Abstract Cleaning sand effectively from horizontal wells with slotted liner, low formation pressure, and lost circulation can be very challenging. This paper begins by examining all the relevant factors to develop a suitable job design and applying it to the given conditions for successfully...

... the funnel viscosity of the mud in active system. If cuttings accumulate in annulus rapidly, then circulating bottom-up need to be considered at least 2 – 3 times, or as needed prior to the well condition and until having the shakers clean. Also, before penetrating formations with high potential of loss...

... Abstract Induced lost circulation in depleted sandstone formations is a risk in most deepwater drilling operations, often leading to costly operational delays involving remedial treatments. Wellbore strengthening (WBS) using lost circulation material (LCM) to plug an estimated fracture width...

Quantify Partial Losses as less than 100 barrel per hour (bph) Up to 2 pills will be pumped in same event. No change on drilling parameters to evaluate the effectiveness of the Cross-Linked...

... Abstract Challenging formations offer most of the evident drilling problems including lost circulation, stuck pipe events resulting in financial and timeline setbacks globally. Moreover, further complexities related to loss/gain make operators revise their casing plans, wellbore trajectories...

... Curing total losses that occur across a reservoir section has been an extremely time-consuming operation which can increase the well construction time by 33% and compromises well delivery objectives. Well-0 has encountered total losses of circulation while drilling an intermediate section...

... Abstract One of the major limiting factors when drilling horizontal HPHT wells is the circulating temperature of the mud exceeding the downhole tool specifications. This paper explains the key contributing factors to the development of high circulating temperature in deep horizontal wells...

... through the buoyancy effect. At the target depth, a pre-determined pressure is applied to the glass disc, rupturing the disc and allowing circulation in preparation for the cementing operation to follow.

... at the same rate. The kill mud weight was 80 pounds per square foot (pcf), and the circulation was performed using the wait and weight method. At the end of the circulation, the mud weight both in and out remained at 80 pcf, and no traces of oil and gas were observed during the killing operation. The well...

... Abstract Loss of circulation while drilling can significantly increase the cost of drilling a well section. A lost circulation decision tree with robust and proven solutions is a tool that enables operators to address the risks and benefits of the treatments available. This paper describes...

... speeds to reach the planned depth. To help mitigate severe losses and high surge pressure caused by tight tolerance in the wellbore, the operator had to reduce the running speed and use high quantities of lost-circulation material (LCM), which caused premature conversion of float equipment from autofill...
