Filanovsky field. In addition to the small productive formation depth, long horizontal sections with a complex trajectory and high collapse gradients due to large zenith angles when passing the Albian and Aptian deposits of poorly consolidated sandstones are an additional challenge for choosing a multistage hydraulic fracturing assembly. The above features require the use of modern sand control screens with enhanced frac sleeves.\u0000 A design was developed which includes frac sleeves and sand control screens that can withstand multiple cycles of hydraulic impact during hydraulic fracturing, as well as many opening/closing cycles. A seawater-based frac fluid system was applied.\u0000 The frac fleet was located on a pontoon, the coiled tubing – on a platform. For the first time in Russia, a 2-5/8 inch coiled tubing with a complex-type friction reducing system was used to switch coupling/sleeves in conditions of very long horizontal sections, complex trajectories, and high friction coefficients. The minimum distances between the screen's sliding sleeves and frac sleeves did not prevent from performing manipulations in complex environment. For well cleaning, the frac assemblies of reverse rotary-pulse and rotary-directional types were used.\u0000 At the first stage of the project, the development of an optimal method of well completion was successfully implemented. Due to the close interaction of the operating company, service company, and science & engineering team of the operator, for the first time in Russia the design of downhole equipment with the use of advanced technologies of sand control screens, frac sleeves was presented. This solution has proved its effectiveness – the downhole equipment has retained its operational properties after a long period of well operation and further in the process of hydraulic fracturing.\u0000 At the second stage of the project, 32 MSHF operations were performed at four wells. To reduce nonproductive time and operational risks, a satellite communication complex was additionally deployed on the pontoon to join the engineering centers of Astrakhan, Moscow, and Houston. After finishing the well development, the design indicators for formation fluid rates were achieved, which proved the effectiveness of the stimulation of the field's target objects – this opens great prospects for further development of low-permeability reservoirs at offshore sites in the Caspian Sea.\u0000 The successful project implementation and the achievement of the design values of oil flow rates has expanded the possibilities of commercial operation of the low-permeable Aptian formation, complicated by the presence of a gas cap and underlying water.\u0000 A solution was presented for working in extended horizontal well sections with 2-5/8 inch coiled tubing together with a compl","PeriodicalId":11017,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 13, 2021","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88635886","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}

The success of geomechanical modeling directly depends on the quantity and quality of input data. In contrast to the geological and hydrodynamic models, in geomechanics there is still no unified approach and algorithm for quantifying the model error. The quality of the geomechanical model is defined as \"satisfactory\" / \"not satisfactory\" and \"confirmed by actual data\" / \"not confirmed by actual data\". In a series of articles on \"Metrological support of a geomechanical model\", the authors show an algorithm for a quantitative assessment of the error of a geomechanical model. The proposed algorithm takes into account the measurement error (in the well and in the laboratory), the quality of logging data, direct measurements or reconstructed measurements, the tightness of correlations (both for the results of core studies and for the reconstruction of missing logging data), the calculation of the uncertainty taking into account the calibration information.\u0000 This paper describes a generalized algorithm for quantifying the error of a geomechanical model, presented in previous articles, and provides a method for quantifying calculate the uncertainty, taking into account calibration information, such as measurements of horizontal stresses, core studies in laboratory conditions.","PeriodicalId":11017,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 13, 2021","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89624261","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}

The abnormally high-pressure reservoir B1 and the abnormally low-pressure reservoir B5 are the target layers in this field. Wells drilling at SDO is accompanied with simultaneous mud losses and inflows conditions, especially if the strata B1 is being penetrated. Pumping lost circulation materials (LCM) and cement plugs do not solve lost circulation complications which subsequently lead to oil and gas inflows. As a result, most of such wells are getting abandoned.\u0000 It was assumed that complications in this formation occurs due to the narrow safe pressures’ operating window (ECD window), therefore, the managed pressure drilling technology (MPD) was initially used as a solution to this problem. However, after the penetration of the abnormally high formation pressure B1 horizon with a pore pressure gradient of 1.86 g/cm3 it was found that there is no operating window. In this regard, there were simultaneous mud losses and oil and gas inflows during the circulation. The well was gradually replaced by oil and gas, regardless of the applied surface back pressure value in the MPD system. The mixing of the mud and reservoir fluid was accompanied by catastrophic contamination. As a result, the drilling mud became non - flowing plugging both the mud cleaning system and the gas separator. On the other hand, the plugging of the B1 formation with LCM did not bring any positive results. Bullheading the well followed by drilling with applied surface back pressure and partial mud losses gave only a temporary result and required a large amount of resources.\u0000 An implementation of PMCD technology instead of MPD has been proposed as an alternative solution to the problem. This technology made it possible to drill the well to the designed depth (2904 - 3010 m interval). For tripping operations, as well as the subsequent running of the production liner it was necessary to develop an integrated plan for well killing and completion in extreme instability conditions. As a result of various killing techniques application, it became possible to achieve the stability of the well for 1 hour. Oil and gas inflows inevitably occurred when the 1 hour lasted. Based on these conditions, the tripping and well completion process was adapted, which in the end made it possible to successfully complete the well, run the liner and activate the hanger in the abnormally high-pressure reservoir.","PeriodicalId":11017,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, October 13, 2021","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78888557","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}
