Pioneering Integrative Solution for Enhancing Wellbore Quality Thru the Application of Multiple Real Time Monitoring Services in Deviated and Lateral Sections in Deep Gas Wells

Abstract

In the Oil and Gas industry, there is a constant look for time and cost savings through performance enhancement and risk reduction. Not less important, wellbore quality becomes a crucial factor across target production intervals which enable safe and optimum completion operations in the well. While the techniques to drill wells constantly evolve, technology is advancing at faster pace every year. The application of new tools and digital technologies is the step change from progessive growth to exponential increase in performance. This paper contains a detailed description of a successful implementation of a combined integrated strategy, including the procedures established to maximize both; performance and wellbore quality in highly deviated and lateral horizontal sections in deep gas wells in a giant gas field in the Middle East. It describes the application of specific technologies that helped to improve wellbore quality and allowed corrections in Real Time.
