1. DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST

1) Background
TDE C-1x is an exploration well that will be drilled by Maera Swamp Rig. The well will be targeting
on the upper slope reservoir developed during the U5 and U6. The well status is a keeper well.
There will be two cases PPFG in the well; most-likely and commitment cases with detail as at
Appendix 2. Refer to the PPFG cases, the well scopes could be summarized as follows:
Reservoir Max TD Max MW MEWHP BHST
Target (mSS/mVD/mMD) (SG) (Psi) (oC)

Most-Likely Case U5 & U6 5268 / 5287 / 5589 1.56 9850 188

Commitment
U5 4556 / 4575 / 4759 2.09 11000 167
Case

Referring to PPFG cases, three architectures option are prepared to complete TDE C-1x
exploration well. (1) Most-likely architecture is designed to cover Most-likely PPFG with 8-1/2” OH
to drill reservoir section. (2) Commitment Case 1 architecture is to cover Commitment PPFG with
8-1/2” OH to drill reservoir section. (3) Commitment Case 2 architecture is designed for
Commitment PPFG with 6” OH to drill contingent reservoir section. The details are as follows:

(1) Most-Likely Architecture (2) Commitment Case Option 1 (3) Commitment Case Option 2

A 6” section is required as contingent case to complete TDE C-1x in Commitment Case Option 2. This
contingency section will be utilized in case 12-1/4” section cloud not covering all depletions. As
consequence, 8-1/2” with 7” liner has to be set to cover remain depletion prior entering HPHT reservoir
section. Therefore, 6” section has to be drilled with 4-1/2” liner to cover HPHT reservoir section at depth
3839 to 4556 mSS.
Based on calculation, maximum influx volume could be handled by current Fracture Gradient at 7” liner
shoe is 4.6 m3. This kick margin is less than Company Rule requirement. KM Company Rule requirement for
an exploration well is 8 m3.
The 7” liners shoe might set deeper to get stronger FG however it cannot be done due to narrow drilling
limitation at narrow mud window.
The Kick Margin limitation is affected by small OH section size (6” section) also. For example, with same
influx volume, influx height in 6” section open hole will be higher than influx height in 8-1/2” section. Higher
influx height higher back pressure will be generated at the system. KM limitation can be improved by having
bigger open hole. It can be achieved by applying heavier architecture or utilizing hole opener.
In TDE C-1X particular case, applying heavier architecture and utilizing hole opener are not the option.
Having heavier architecture will create another problem regarding casing design and budget. While, using
hole opener at HPHT section become very risky. No circulation and movement at OH might lead to
catastrophic.
Based on TDE C-1x architecture design limitations, derogation have to be proposed to drill 6” OH section
with 4 m³ kick margin. As consequence, kick detection during drilling 6” section has to be reinforced. Early
Kick Detection will be applied in this section. Moreover, based on experience, ROP at 6” section at the depth
(deeper than 3800 mSS) is up to 15m/hr. this slow ROP give benefit for kick detection and well control
response. Completed mitigation will be discussed at next section.

2) Objective
To request a derogation to drill 6” OH reservoir section with 4 m³ kick margin on HPHT Exploration TDE C-1x
well.

2. BENEFIT EXPECTED
- To drill Exploration HPHT TDE C-1x well. This opportunity could confirm presence of HC in slope channel
deposits situated at base of SU-5 until base of SU-6 (U9-U9.5).
- To avoid cost generated by additional section to complete TDE C-1x CC2 architecture with 8-1/2” section.
Est. Cost saving is about 1.5 MUSD.
- To avoid 6” hole enlargement operation that created additional cost. Moreover, dropping ball operation on
an Exploration HPHT 6” OH section is very risky. Est. hole enlargement cost saving is 580,000 USD.
- To avoid Exploration HPHT TDE C-1x well project delay as part as PHM commitment.

3. ASSOCIATED RISKS & MITIGATIONS MEASURE

'Well kick with volume more than 4 m³ might lead to Fracture Gradient failure at previous casing shoe during
gas evacuation. It becomes kick and losses situation that make well control become complicated. It could lead to
blowout. In other hand, influx might penetrate to weaker formation and become uncontrollable. influx might
supercharge upper zone and create abnormal pressure. This abnormal pressure could be geological hazard for
future well drilled near the location.
Possible Scenarios of Influx that lead to blow-out:
1. During drilling, Well control situation with kick volume > 4.6 m3 leads to blow out.
2. Well Swabbing while tripping out Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) induces kick that leads to blow out.
3. Well Surging while tripping in Bottom Hole Assembly (BHA) induces losses and loss of hydrostatic pressure which possible to
induce kick that leads to blow out.
4. Influx enters into wellbore slowly (due to swabbing) and high reservoir permeability reduces wellbore hydrostatic pressure and
induces kick that leads to blow out
5. Well Surging while tripping in tubing induces losses and loss of hydrostatic pressure possible to induce kick that leads to blow
out.
6. Well Swabing while tripping out tubing induces influx which possible to induce kick leading to blow out

Required mitigations measure to be applied refers to JRA as attached with main mitigation summary as follows:
1. Utilize Annulus Pressure While Drilling (APWD)- (Equivalent Static Density (ESD) - Equivalent Circulating
Density (ECD)) data or MW simulation to know actual / estimated MW at TD.
2. Use high accuracy of EKD (Early Kick Detection) system during 6” section drilling to improve return flow
monitoring. Very accurate flow meter “Coriolis” is utilized to monitor the return flow. By
implementing EKD system, kick could be detected earlier compared to normal system. EKD
Configuration is as attachment 3. Finger Print will be done prior drilling 6” section.
3. BHA & tubing tripping out of hole with "pumping on " mode is mandatory to avoid swab kick. By
Circulating fluid during tripping out, Cavity below BHA & Tubing created by sudden upward movement
could be always filled by fluids. Therefore, no suction effect occurs below BHA/tubing.
4. Minimum 1 key personel (Coman/OIM/tool pusher/ Ass. OIM) on rig floor all the time :
- starting 6" drilling until reaching TD
- BHA in between TD and 7" TOL (Tripping out - in)
Requesting Entity : WCI/WLC/DRL DEROGATION
Date : 13 July 2020 DETAIL REQUEST

- logging tool in between TD and 7" TOL

- tubing in between 7" TOL and well TD
5. Abandon Safety Drill will be done specially prior HPHT section (8-1/2" section) drilling to ensure rig
personnel awareness to BOCP. Perform drills (kick drill, tripping drill, pit drill, and regarding wire line
operation), prior 6" drilling operation / wireline operation) witnessed by Superintendent / COMAN.
6. Third Company Man will be onboard to support the operation.

19. Inform RSES and OSR team prior to drill 6" section, discuss the hazard, Oil spill calculation, oil spill model and
ensure the readiness of OSCP.
20. Control speed of BHA / tubing / wireline logging during trip out and in to minimize swab and surge effect. Tripping
/ running speed simulation will be conducted as reference.
21. SCR's to be taken as per Joint Well Control Procedures
