Successful Horizontal well Placement in shallow unconsolidated

.viscous oil field Block#6 Fulla North East Field (FNE)

Abstract
Accurate wellbore positioning of lateral section within thin reservoir required a better collaboration
between all related disciplines like geologists, reservoir engineers, directional drillers and drilling
engineers engaged in the entire processes in constructing planning plus good communication in real time
.geo-steering via a brilliant utilization of MWD&LWD in the execution phase

Fulla North East have shallow and viscous oil with unconsolidated formation. FNE oilfield was
.put into production on Oct.01, 2009
the objective to hit the predetermined target (landing point) properly and smoothly and to maintain
drilling well bore latterly (horizontal section) within the reservoir.
In this paper, to reach the identified target (B1b) from geological model based on the well path design,
drilling placement operation taken in place, using positive displacement mud motor which is more
suitable to drill unconsolidated in a good manner rather than rotary steerable system(RSS) pushing the bit
type. The build section started from 210 meter as a Kick of Point (KOP), until landing point at 535 meter
True Vertical Depth(TVD),then to drill 400 meter measured depth horizontally

During the execution, encountered problem of washout formation, which overcome by proper
monitoring for the surveying results and immediate well bore trajectory correction, which and this
occurred as a repetition sliding and drilling mode alternatively in both build and horizontal section.

This paper presents a methodology and workflow, of the wellbore trajectory optimization in real time
monitoring operation through the implementation of MWD and LWD, and this for visualizing the actual
well path in the reservoir spatial, plus a proper geo-steering of the wellbore, through a real time
formation evaluation in order to stay within the sweet hot of the corridor. In addition, not to lose the
target in the case of uncertainty.

The result of survey and well bore plot report show that the actual well bore trajectory is almost
matching the plan with slightly deviation, which mean that a proper horizontal wellbore placement has
been created as smooth running casing .Well completed successfully with good production
performance.
