The biomarker composition of the third group oils exhibited that the oils within each of these fields have at least two genetic sources: the oils of the lower pay zones have shaly marine OM source, while those of the upper upper pay zones were formed by OM deposited in lacustrine environment.

It further highlights the operational complexity and the challenges faced during the implementation of this technology while drilling formations with varying pore pressures. The reservoir hole section had different pressure intervals, which required higher mud weight and thus high potential of differentially stuck-pipe conditions. The successful field trial shows that the Constant Bottom Hole Pressure (CBHP) application provides flexibility to be able to manage annular pressures when applying surface back pressure using an MPD choke manifold.\u0000 The paper elaborates on the lessons learned and how CBHP was implemented continuously with regards to health, safety, and environment (HSE) during drilling operations. The short-term goals were to evaluate whether the application of MPD could avoid the risk of differential sticking and reduce pumps-off gas, enhance drilling performance by using lower ECD, reducing well control time by working as early kick detection tool and provide a potential for mud cost savings, along with a long-term goal of providing the option to optimize the casing design by reducing one liner section and combining drilling of two reservoir sections in one run.","PeriodicalId":131012,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, November 16, 2022","volume":"431 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132529898","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}

Specifically, how the robotic system enabled successful and selective stimulation of nine acid fracturing stages in a challenging operational environment. The scope reviews the planning and execution methodology utilized to enable selective stimulation and production along the lateral section.\u0000 While evaluating the concept of drilling a horizontal well through a deeper, previously undeveloped reservoir horizon, it was identified that multiple acid fracturing stages would be required along a 1,000-meter lateral section. The well objectives were such that each of the acid fracturing zones required the ability to be selectively stimulated and produced (selective shut-off of zones post-production if required). This design utilized an open hole completion with compartmentalization via swell packers and fracturing sleeves. Due to the trajectory and horizontal nature of the well, electric line deployed robotics were selected to access the fracturing sleeves.\u0000 The well was successfully drilled and completed in 2019 and stimulated in early 2021. All zones were effectively accessed utilizing the selected intervention and stimulation methodology. This was the first use of a robotics intervention technique in the Tengiz field. It was also the first horizontal well drilled and completed into the target reservoir horizon. Intervention challenges included high pressure/high temperature, H2S, well restrictions, drilling muds (with weighting agents), and of course the trajectory of the well with ~ 1,000m lateral section to traverse. The successful outcome was a result of the conceptual engineering, planning and execution of the intervention and stimulation work scope. Formal surface integration test (SIT) was required to identify the best sleeve shifting options, which supported the procedure for the intervention scope.
