...Methods, Procedures, and Processes The wells were drilled and completed from sixth-generation drillships. Careful attention to well fluid cleanliness, sound QA/QC, and operational procedures were considered paramount for the successful remote opening of an isolation valve and were identified...

... of unsuccessful drilling, completion or intervention of the well as per the development plan, e.g. due to borehole collapse, well loss or completion failure. Operational risks exist throughout the production lifetime and are defined as the probability of premature failure of the well or shut-down of the facility...

... Abstract This paper presents the application of multiple selectives injection zones within a high thickness singled bed heavy oil sand. The results were compared with a single zone completion in the same sand, establishing the differences in several aspects like recovery factor, vertical...

... that the seals in the pumps and the polished sections of the assemblies meet at the same depth. The production string from the triple string completion was isolated since only 2 completion strings were required for operation, leaving the power oil injection and fluid return strings active. Jet pumps were...

.... This type of completion and stimulation involves vast amounts of water, proppant, chemicals, and special equipment, coupled with continuous improvements in operations, quality, cost, time, and safety. Various alternatives in proppant management were explored and introduced. This paper describes several...

... Abstract One of the most critical issues in TSP fields is the unconsolidated character of its sands. Historically, most of the wells drilled in TSP fields, including vertical, deviated and horizontal wells, have been completed with cased hole gravel pack (CHGP). However, over the course...

... completed without pre-installed capillary strings. They are completed with large tubing diameters (5.75 in., 7 in.). Recognizing that the above three factors posed challenges to successful foam applications, major emphasis and research was directed toward this endeavor to realize the buried revenue...

.... With declining oil production, there exists the need for higher production rates; frac packing is considered to be one suitable intervention to achieve this goal. In addition, lower skin from frac pack completions in comparison to gravel packs and the ability of the frac pack to maintain this low skin during...

... Abstract With sand control being an issue for many operators; there is a prevalence of Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completions used in offshore reservoirs. Gravel packing is an industry recognized method of stabilizing the well bore and controlling sand in gas and oil producing wells...

The effect of the smart completion is recognised and analysed: constraints of water and gas production rates per segments are applied to shut in well segments automatically...

Some of these newer technologies include Premium (2D) screens, with fusion-bonded laminates, or MeshRite (3D) screens with angular compressed metal fibers as Stand Alone Screen (SAS) completions. These screens may...
