First, based on the parameters of the constructed wells, several elements were chosen as appraisal factors.

Finally, coupling GRA with fuzzy logic to calculate the comprehensive evaluation score (CES), which is used to predict productivity and determine the classification value of the reservoir to evaluate the reservoir quality.

For this purpose, the spatial and temporal variability of coastal destruction rates has been investigated since 1964, the geomorphological and permafrost structure of the coastal zone has been studied, the time series of the main hydrometeorological parameters affecting the retreat rates have been calculated. The estimation of coastal retreat rates was carried out on the basis of the field data of the authors and analysis of multitemporal aerospace imagery (1964, 1977, 1988, 2006 and 2016). To characterize the hydrometeorological factors of the coastal dynamics, the wave load on the coastal zone (from 1979 to 2016) was calculated using data on the direction and speed of the wind and the duration of the ice-free period. To assess the thermal factor of coastal destruction, the freezing and thawing indexes were used.\u0000 Since the 1980s there is an increase in the hydrometeorological potential of the coastal destruction. An increase in the annual sum of negative temperatures (freezing index) provides less cooling of deposits in winter period. With an increase in the sum of positive air temperatures (thawing index) this leads to accelerated thawing of sediments during the summer period, preparing the material for mechanical removal by waves. Due to the increase in the duration of the ice-free period and the frequency of winds with directions favourable for waves generation in the coastal zone, the total wave load on the coast increases. Intensive destruction of coastal segments composed of icy loams in 2006-2016 is due both to natural factors and to the human impact imposed on them (dredging in the mouth of Kharasavey River, the seizure of material for construction needs from the beach and coastal bluff). It is recommended to use tideflat and beach in the area of the Cape Burunny, located at a distance from the infrastructure of the port and settlement, as a source of sand material.\u0000 Despite the low values of the hydrometeorological forcing of the coastal destruction in 1977-1988, it was during this period that the maximum retreat rates of the coast were observed. An analysis of the spatial arrangement of the retreated sections showed that the most likely cause of the increase in the rates of retreat was human impact (for instance, dredging for the needs of the port at the mouth of the Kharasavey River could led to a deficit of sediment in the northward section).\u0000 The first detailed data obtained on the spatiotemporal variability of the coastal dynamics for this area allowed a joint analysis of natural factors and man-made loads affecting the rate of coastal destruction.

The planning and execution of this sidetrack presented an escalated set of challenges beyond those encountered in standard well conditions due to the high temperature (HT), the potential for magnetic interference and collision avoidance constraints. The PMR method was deployed in order to mitigate the risk of, and ultimately resolve, magnetic interference. This resulted in minimised collision risk and safe achievement of the sidetrack in a HT environment.\u0000 Challenges were faced in the 12 ½″ section which resulted in the open-hole being plugged and abandoned below the 14″ casing shoe, with the drill-string cemented in place. A complex sidetrack was planned below the 14″ shoe. Reservoir target and collision avoidance constraints required the planned sidetrack well-path to be close to the abandoned branch, therefore magnetic interference was possible. PMR was planned in the case of interference. The aim was to make the preparation and operational deployment process as efficient as possible, while drilling this sensitive section. A work-flow was developed to manage the performance of ranging passes, specifically interfaces between all parties involved in operations. PMR was deployed to map the relative position of the well during periods of interference and develop ‘synthetic surveys’ to construct the well-path, allowing collision avoidance calculations by defining reliable projection ahead and thus permitting steering of the drilling assembly.\u0000 The PMR process was successfully deployed on B3 after experiencing high magnetic interference allowing drilling to continue to planned depth with limited impact on operations. This paper provides information on the application of independent PMR and processing aspects to be considered when defining relative wellbore position based on synthetic surveys. Understanding advantages and limitations of PMR opens up opportunities to benefit from this technique in similar challenging drilling applications and help to reduce operational risk and optimise cost. PMR can thus provide a viable alternative to Gyro While Drilling (GWD), where conditions do not allow or where the probability of magnetic interference is marginal and high tool costs could be incurred when potentially not required.","PeriodicalId":242965,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, October 16, 2018","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115212521","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}

An important factor that determines an effective model is an increased oil recovery factor at the Gazprom Neft fields and additional oil production with a commensurate increase in costs. To improve the oil recovery factor, the first step was to drill new horizontal wells and sidetracks with a horizontal ending which allowed increasing the contact area of the well and the reservoir and involved new reservoir zones into the development, increasing its oil recovery. However, drilling of new horizontal wells and sidetracking alone, without the introduction of advanced completion technologies, does not allow to achieve the desired result and maintain the production rates.\u0000 Currently, many service companies have their own research centers and offer a huge amount of technologies, but in fact such technologies have not been tested at reservoir conditions of Russia's oil and gas fields. The main challenge is the development and implementation of new technological solutions within modern business strategies for completing wells with multi-stage frac assemblies.\u0000 The Company's teams have studied the world experience and the offers of service companies in the field of horizontal and multi-stag frac completion technologies, as well have analyzed all the proposed solutions and model history matching applied worldwide with regard to the Russian reservoir conditions.
