The reservoir has a narrow window between pore and fracture pressures, which has previously caused formation instability and severe lost circulation issues during well construction, compromising zonal isolation objectives.\u0000 Total loss of fluids experienced while cementing the 114.3 mm production liner in the first appraisal well in the field led to revising the cementing strategy. Collaboration among various parts of the drilling department and the opportunity to define a new approach resulted in a decision to introduce managed pressure drilling (MPD) to address the challenges associated with a narrow pressure window and uncertainty in pore pressure while drilling and cementing. This enabled implementing the optimal mud weight and adjusting equivalent circulating density (ECD) during cementing with minimum overbalance.\u0000 Reducing the mud weight from 1.20 SG to 1.05 SG eliminated losses after running the liner and while cementing it. As a result, pre-job circulation rates and pumping rates during cementing could be increased, improving mud removal efficiency and achieving top of cement at the required depth. The constant-bottomhole-pressure mode of MPD was used to maintain the same ECD during displacement of the well to a lighter fluid and during cementing, avoiding well influx during pumpoff events by compensating for the annular friction pressure loss with surface backpressure. This first onshore managed pressure cementing operation executed within the same field in Russia (later named as field A) was completed flawlessly, with no safety or quality issues, zero nonproductive time, and achievement of the required zonal isolation across the challenging production section.\u0000 The collaborative approach used was a novel strategy, with the mud weight program strategically adjusted before and during the cementing operation to achieve zonal isolation objectives.","PeriodicalId":10970,"journal":{"name":"Day 1 Tue, October 12, 2021","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87382257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the second case, the problem of estimating the flow direction and estimating the flow rate is solved.\u0000 For the first approach, \"large thermal anemometer\", the results of theoretical and experimental studies of the temperature field distribution in a physical model as close as possible to the design of a real oil well, with induction heating of the column taking into account the column flow of liquid. The influence of forced convection on the readings of temperature sensors with different locations in the well (pressed against the inner wall of the column, along the axis of the device) is studied. The advantages of the azimuthal location of temperature sensors when measuring temperature anomalies of the column motion of a liquid are shown. It is established that with the help of an azimuthally distributed temperature probe, it is possible to determine the column flow \"from above\" when measuring above and below the heating point of the inductor. The optimal time intervals for measuring the temperature at which the allocation of channels for the column movement of the liquid is most effective are determined.\u0000 For the second approach, \"small thermal anemometer\", the design features of a borehole thermoconductive indicator of the inflow of indirect heating, which is heated using an induction heater, are considered. Using an induction heater, a uniform heating of the housing of the borehole thermoconductive inflow indicator is achieved. Due to the developed design, the sensor is able to detect the presence of a liquid flow directed perpendicular to the body, and determine the direction of this flow.\u0000 The \"large thermal anemometer\" technology has been tested, which has shown its effectiveness and prospects for using it to determine backwater flows (column circulation), but there are still questions related to assessing the effect of thermal convection on the recorded temperature and the possibility of diagnosing the column circulation channel (Valiullin et al., 2017). The article (Valiullin et al., 2008) describes the developed equipment of the \"active thermometry\" method for conducting geophysical studies of wells, while the classical location of temperature sensors along the axis of the device is used in the borehole probe, which does not make it possible to determine the channels of the circulation channels.
