Completion Installation Exercise #1
Learning Objectives
Input Output
• Actual survey • Calculate drag risk
• Enter hole and string tensions
details • Calculate buckling
• Enter friction factors risk@depth
• Discuss sensitivity
• Review actual DTS run
Inputs ‐ Survey and Hole Details:
Well Path
• Actual survey – SB‐477
• Select survey as txt file
Enter Hole Details:
• 9 5/8” 47# to 6,397’
(above top of 7” liner)
• 7” 26# to 9,338’
• 6 1/8” Hole to 99999’
Inputs ‐ Completion String
Inputs ‐ Torque & Drag Scenario
Inputs ‐ Friction Factors
OPERATION P/U S/O OB T COMMENT
Planning 3½” x 4½” Tbg 0.1 – 0.3 N/A
Solids free WBM assumed
Actual 3½” x 4½” Tbg (SB-477) 0.05 – 0.1 N/A with Polymer protectors in
6⅛”hole
Running DTS Completion – Drag Chart
• Completion will run for
SOFF = 0.20
• Why will liner not run
for SOFF ≥ 0.25 ?
• Is that acceptable ?
• What are the results
sensitive to ?
Standoff calculation ‐ Inputs
Standoff calculation
• Acceptable standoff at TD
– No wall contact with DTS
cable
– Is that OK ?
• What are the results
sensitive to ?
Standoff calculation ‐ Slideshow
Actual DTS run on 12.7k’ 3½”9.2#x4½”12.75# Tubing
• Note: 12,687’ of 3½ tubing run from
TD to +/‐6,800’ (lateral and build up
sections) with 4½” tubing in the low
angle section
• Radiagreen lubricant at 1.5% helped
reduce axial drag
• At TD, drilling BHA was backreamed
out of hole and inside the 7” liner
• 5.75” OD polymer centralizers
lowered drag and provided
protection to the DTS cable
• K&M input into planning and K&M
engineer on rig for run
Completion Installation Exercise#2
• Running 4½” Slotted
Liner on 5½” x 4” DP
• Adco Bab Field
• 10k Lateral ERD well, 5k
Step out and 50° Az Turn
Learning Objectives
Input Output
• Apply tortuosity to • Calculate drag risk
planned well path tensions
• Enter hole and string • Calculate off bottom
details torque
• Enter friction factors • Calculate buckling
risk@depth
• Discuss potential
solutions
Inputs ‐ Survey Details:
• Survey for – “10K
Lateral ERD Well”
• 5k step out to heel
• 50 ◦ Azimuth turn
• Select survey file with
tortuosity to simulate
actual survey
Inputs ‐ Liner and Drill Pipe
Inputs ‐ Friction Factors
Running Slotted Liner – Drag Chart Results
• 4½”Liner will just run
for SOFF ≤ 0.25
• Why will liner not run
for SOFF ≥ 0.30 ?
Running Slotted Liner – Buckling Risk Plot
• Buckling of the 4½”
liner / 4” DP is the issue
• What are potential
solutions ?
Running Slotted Liner – Off Bottom Torque
• Reaming is not likely to
be possible
– OBT > 4½” MUT (0.25 FF)
– VAGT MUT is ± 5 k ft‐lbs
– Upgrade connection e.g.
Hydril 563 ± 10 k ft‐lbs
– or Buttress with Tesco
torque ring ± 8 k ft‐lbs
Running Slotted Liner ‐ Solutions
• Use 5½” x 4” HWDP
– With HWDP, can now
run for 0.3 SO FF
Running Slotted Liner ‐ Solutions
• Run 2000’ HWDP +
swivel above liner
– With DP rotation only, can
now run for 0.3 SO FF
