This development field encompass enormous challenges such as presence of shallow...

... the uncertainties. This paper will highlight several case studies and best practices of improving technical success in well placement through various well intervention, data acquisition and seismic-driven approaches to maximize the drainage volume and recovery. Several infill wells have been drilled post proactive...

... placement efficiency. The zones were also distanced from one another, requiring zonal isolation (i.e., mechanical isolation, such as bridge plugs, was not an option) as treatments were deployed. While there was a major challenge in terms of mobilization planning to complete this well during the peak...

... method is a common practice for worker operations with coil tubing and this similar technique can be applied in ERD drilling operations to aid in the homogeneous and accurate placement of cement plugs. However, for this job, the pump and pull placement method was preferred to aid in the homogenous...

..., an MPC placement technique was proposed, in conjunction with using lost circulation fiber technology in the cement slurry and spacer. After addressing the losses and narrow working pressure window, the next main challenge was the extremely high temperature (Bottom hole static temperature of 171°C...

... and formation damage, the outcome includes inefficient placement of the cement that warrants time-consuming and costly operations to assure zonal isolation. In Kuwait, first trial of a new generation of an environmentally friendly enhanced aqueous spacer system was used successfully in a highly deviated well...

... pairing and correlation) has proven insufficient for casing point placement and was a lesson learned from PEP-001. The presence of limestone stringers observed in offset wells within proximity of top M presented an additional challenge. The stringers could have been mis-interpreted as the main carbonate...

... Assessment of acid placement in the non-viscous base case was achieved by the application of a non-viscous tracer-containing acid formulation to the cores. The non-viscosified placement of fluid into each core was then calculated prior to the application of the viscosified treatment. Placement...
