... losses were frequently experienced while drilling the last production hole section in 8-1/2" or 8-3/8" size. To cure the losses, the 7" liner had to be run and then the 6-1/8" hole was drilled. The well was then completed with lower completion and upper completion, in which the bottom 4-1/2" casing...

... of Oman has proven challenging and often troublesome. Frequently, time spent on backreaming would exceed the time required to drill the related hole sections. In addition, the carbonate Natih sequence has also proven problematic. High levels of vibrations are often encountered. Such drilling dysfunctions...
