... Abstract Multilateral and intelligent well construction and completion technologies has proven themselves to be effective means of increasing recovery rates and improving operational efficiencies in subsea wells, yet, there are no known applications where both technologies have been applied...

... will also include a 15k psi subsea containment assembly and two dedicated, specially converted Aframax tankers – modular capture vessels (MCVs) – the EAGLE TEXAS and the EAGLE LOUISIANA. MWCC's two MCVs are key components of the company's expanded containment system, which is expected to be completed...

... For the carbonate well, a unique completion concept was chosen that combines limited entry with a ball drop multistage system. The well was segmented to effectively treat the full 2000 m section. Internal segmentation was provided by ball drop sleeves and seal assemblies, while external isolation...

... is required to test the pressure integrity of tubing or annulus, or to set a hydraulic packer. If the well then requires gas lift to unload the completion fluid or to assist the well to flow, wireline intervention is necessary to change out the dummy valves with the live gas lift string. This process can...

... interventions at a savings of $10MM per intervention, causing an increase of 50% targeted rate of oil, restoration of >1,000 B/D of oil to an otherwise idle well, savings of $20MM in CAPEX when applying via IWC re-completion with multi-lateral technology, and an increase of estimated ultimate recoveries...

... availability of well servicing equipment specifically designed or configured to safely and efficiently handle ESP equipment. Good knowledge of the well inflow characteristics, produced fluid quality, and operating environment is factored into the lift system and completion designs. Dedicated design...

... Abstract The concept of one completion tool affecting overall recovery from a field may seem unlikely at first thought. This is due to the fact that standard procedures in the oil industry have long designed completions on a well to well basis rather than analyzing the effect that said...

... Abstract Frac-packing is a completion technique that merges two distinct processes: Hydraulic fracturing and gravel packing. The main challenge of a frac-pack completion is the successful creation of high conductivity fractures using the tip-screen out technique and placement of proppant within...

Intelligent Tracers Intelligent tracers are a chemical tracer technology that provides a passive means of identifying the inflow characteristics of a well. This is accomplished by placing intelligent tracers, which resemble...

..., burst and collapse pressure limits) because of the production benefit of pumping a completed frac-pack treatment. Moreover, any recompletion costs in deepwater can be excessively expensive because of both the cost of an extra set of sand control tools and the high deepwater rig rates. The preceding...

... Abstract Technology limits are continuously being pushed to meet the challenge of the ever increasing demand to drill deeper wells in deeper water. At the same time, the costs, time frame and risks have increased dramatically for such drilling projects, with the drilling and completion spread...

... loss from the production tubing causes dramatic loss of well productivity due to the deposition of paraffin and asphaltenes and could contribute to the formation of gas hydrates. Vacuum insulated tubing (VIT) was initially utilized in the deepwater well completions to help alleviate well failure...
