.... This paper presents the challenges faced in planning and drilling of subject ERD well with a total measured depth of 27,352ft (8.34km) and having horizontal hole of 11,300ft (3.45 km reservoir contact) with directional difficulty index (DDI) of 7.208 using light/slim casing design. Planning of this well...

... Abstract Extended reach drilling (ERD) wells involves numerous drilling challenges that in many cases causes cost overrun and delays for such wells. This paper presents a new approach used to drill a 10,000 ft long departure using a slim design to replace the conventionally well design...

... load, causing the outer armor wires to unwind. In ERD wells, high friction at the capstan points prevents the propagation of cable rotation to the swivel at the toolstring, which can lead to torque accumulation in the cable between capstan points. One consequence of torque accumulation in the cable...

...Well Delivery Challenges There are several geological and drilling challenges associated with ERD wells. Drilling challenges include maintaining parameters within rig capabilities whilst transferring sufficient energy to the bit to optimize drilling performance. The challenges for the 16...

... these marginal prospects. These prospects often involve the requirement to drill Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) wells. This is due to the fact that some platforms are slot constrained, such that wells cannot always be drilled from the nearest platform. One of Mubadala Petroleum's solutions was to drill...

... And all the operators are drilling deeper and deeper wells, when since 1949 to 2008 the average depth of oil wells increased to 7,500 ft from 4,500 ft ( Fig. 1 ) [ 1 ]. Abstract One of the limiting parameters while drilling deep extended reach (ERD) wells with 6-in. and less open hole...

... offshore platform poses unique challenges for anticollision directional drilling and wellbore construction. Wells completed in multilayered reservoirs, multilaterals with compartments of varying pressure, and ERD wells are becoming common in the Russian sector of the Caspian Sea. An integrative approach...
