Start

Casing Design, Completion & Reservoir Objectives

Review the following from discussion with client:
Casing design
Completion requirements
Reservoir objectives
Geological targets (proper description based on requirements)

D&M
Etc….
From these the hole sizes, any tangents required for completions and maximum
attainable/allowable DLS ranges (due to casing, completion and tool spec limitations,
etc)
t ) will
ill b
be d
determined.

Lithology Review

Process
Review the lithology to be drilled in the various hole sections for features such as:
Soft unconsolidated formations (impact DLS capability & hole washout)
Hard streaks (impact on bit strategy, ROP, etc)
Formations with past drilling problems
o Shales (swelling/mobile/time dependent, etc)
o Salts
o Chalk
Ch lk
o Stuck pipe events (understand the mechanisms involved)
o Depleted zones, etc
Formations with history of high ROP’s
Clear formation markers (aid well placement and structural uncertainty)
Etc….
From the above the bulk of the well profile is established.

Well Profile Iteration

Prepare
p first p
pass well p
profile to meet the established criteria.
Keep DLS as low as possible and tangent inclinations below 45º if possible
and any above 45º as short af possible (for hole cleaning).
Use graduated build/turn rates (start with 1.5º/30m, increase to 2º/30m, then
2.5º/30m then 3º/30m, etc.)
Avoid drop sections, if required minimise to 1.5 to 2º/30m DLS
Keep inclination as low as possible and directional work at a minimum through:
o Soft unconsolidated formations
o Hard streaks
o Formations with past drilling problems
Plan as long an interval as possible through high ROP formations
Plan to hit targets as required (these will be optimised later)

Hydraulic Analysis Torque & Drag Analysis Target Sizing Anticollision Analysis
Ref: EAG_DEC WF08 Ref: EAG_DEC WF07 Ref: EAG_DEC WF05 Ref: EAG_DEC WF04

Well Profile Iteration

Adjust well profile to meet the newly established criteria.
Use graduated build/turn rates to mitigate AC risk, use lowest DLS possible so
DD has ability to improve the situation by achieving more.
Optimise the reservoir section by using the drillers targets to smooth the profile End
through the targets.
Use T&D and Hydraulic analysis for further profile optimisation
Review “volume under plan” on the VS plot. Use profile which will reduce the
volume as this can present less risk.

For a magnetic survey by :
1
1. comparison with overlapping data from any other survey tool of equal or greater
accuracy
alternatively
2
2. application of an approved multi
multi-station
station analysis technique (DMAG)

For a gyro survey by :

11. comparison with either confirmatory magnetic survey data
or
2. sufficient overlapping data from another gyro survey

PRACTICAL
EAG D&M – Target Sizing (EAG_DEC WF-05)

Drilling Engineer

START

Calculate EOU at target(s):

Plane : 2D, 2sigma
Volume : 3D, 2sigma
At 95% Confidence Level
Or as per clients
requirements
(Volume is a Plane target with
TVD tolerance)

Prepare / Update
Positive Drillers Is Drillers Target
YES YES target sizing End
Target? sufficient / practicle?
discussion in DDEP

NO

Client Review NO
Consider/discuss the following:
Improve Survey Program:
Gyro (Ref EAG_DEC WF20)
Enhanced MWD (discuss with DECM/SS)
Change Target Dimensions

Situation
Yes
Resolved?

No

Recommendations to Client
Submit Target Sizing Exemption
Reduce Confidence level
Ref:
Define geological target as
EAF_DEC WF10
drlling tolerance
