..., which was excellent and above the minimum 1 bbl/min necessary for the sand consolidation treatment pumping. The well was then filled up with kerosene and another injectivity test with kerosene was performed to verify pumping margins and rates with a fluid of similar characteristics of the sand...

... Abstract Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) is embarking on the implementation of the Design One Build Many (D1BM) concept, an integrated approach on design standardization, replication and volume consolidation for light weight fit for purpose wellhead platforms - also known as Lightweight...

... by the search for an effective alternative to conventional primary sand control methods that would allow developing marginal reserves where the conventional methods might not be economical. Unconsolidated sand packs treated with the new consolidation fluid led to high compressive strengths and regained...

... of Platform Petroleum, Sheba Petroleum, Seplat and others were investigated and analyzed. These case studies identified how marginal field operator's utilized mergers and acquisitions in the form of business restructuring, consolidation, strategic alliances, joint venture formation and partnerships...

... Abstract Mahakam block with one of its gas fields, Tunu, has been developed for decades. Hundreds of wells were drilled to unlock layered sand reservoirs ranging from unconsolidated to consolidated reservoirs. Through field experience, well architecture is actively developing. The latest...

... development has multiple challenges given the thin-oil column (46 feet) entirely within the transition zone, unfavorable crude quality, a large gas-cap and extensive bottom water, a large but low relief structure, and a shallow poorly consolidated sandstone reservoir. Developing such a marginal field...

... Abstract Mahakam block has supported Indonesia's Oil and Gas production with over 40 years of deliverability. Presently, along with its maturity cycle, comes the challenge of a steeply declining matured field with indicators of marginal reserves, included unconsolidated sand reservoirs as one...

... Corporation (POSC) in 1990. The business drivers are low oil prices, increasing costs and risks, lower margins, and increasing complexity. The oil industry responded by focusing on core business, consolidation, risk management, collaboration with partners, productivity, reducing costs, improving reservoir...

... Abstract Formation consolidation is a form of sand control that was used extensively in the past, but has been largely replaced by mechanical systems, such as gravel packs or expandable screens. This change has arisen because of a level of uncertainty regarding effective chemical placement...

... that are the best managed and the worst managed. Both survey groups singled out the onshore contract drilling industry as the worst managed supplier segment by a significant margin. Generalized, the respondents characterized the domestic onshore contract driller as suffering from poor market research, excessive...

... that have been used for coating proppant on-the-fly to provide proppant-flowback control ( Nguyen et al. 2003 ) have high viscosities compared to the new consolidating treatment fluids that are being used in this study of remedial-proppant treatment. If conventional resin was placed into the propped...

... of precisely placed treatment fluids into propped fractures conveyed by coiled tubing can turn many marginal wells into excellent producers, and do so cost-effectively. The treatment chemicals introduced into the formation form a consolidated, highly permeable pack that can withstand the high drawdown...

... 1970's, pointed out these siliciclastic reservoirs as the main exploratory targets in the Brazilian continental margin. Applying well defined geological models, along with true seismic amplitude and in-house wavelet processing, Petrobras advanced into Campos Basin deep waters in the middle 1980's...

The treatment chemicals introduced into the propped fracture will form a consolidated, highly permeable pack that can withstand the high drawdown associated with production. This paper discusses such a system. What...
