Tunu, Tambora & Handil fields (abbreviated as TTH) are part of the Mahakam Production Sharing
Contract (PSC) operated by TOTAL E&P Indonésie (TEPI). TEPI owned 50% of share interest and as
well as field operator, then the other 50% owned by INPEX. Mahakam PSC is located in East
Kalimantan, North – East of Balikpapan City.

Tunu Field Development is the main driver of the extensive drilling program in Mahakam PSC
Swamp area since 1990. Hence, most of the development technique is mainly to suite the Tunu
Field Development.

7
The fields, along with others in the region, supplies gas to the Bontang LNG Plant and to a lesser
extent, the KALTIM Industrial Estate (domestic consumers). Both consumers are located to the
North of TTH field location.

Other gas suppliers besides TTH Fields are Peciko, Tambora, Handil, Bekapai and Sisi/Nubi fields,
operated by TEPI, as well as other hydro carbon field in East Kalimantan operated by VICO,
CHEVRON & PEARL Oil.

1.1.1 Tunu Field History


TUNU is a giant gas condensate field (70 km long by 18 km wide) located in the swamp
environment at the edge of the Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan. Tunu Field was discovered in
1977 by the well of TN‐1. Delineation wells were drilled in the period of 1977 – 1989.

The first production was in 1990 from the crestal area with the wells surface location at CPU. The
well‐head are distributed in Gathering Terminal Satellites (GTS) A, B, C, D & E. Further move to
South Phase in 1994 with GTS F & G.
In 1997 development on North Part, centered at NPU with well‐head distributed on 5 GTS: I, J, L M
& N; while to Western Flank distributed on 5 GTS: H, K, P, R & X. Starting in 2000 the extensive

8
development is going further to North & South Flanks on the existing GTS. Well target location
spacing become less & less with infill development wells starting in 2004. In 2010 shallow zone
development was started. Infill 400 m spacing pilot started in 2011, and the development of infill
400 m spacing was commenced in 2014. All the above additional wells are with wellhead
distributed in the same GTS, making more wells crowding in the exiting GTS.

Figure 4: Tunu Field Development Phases

Tunu Well Spacing Development


Tunu was developed in phases steps. The initial development scheme concerned only at Tunu Main
Zone ‐ TMZ (reservoir situated between 2500 to 4500m). The Tunu Main Zone development based
on grid histories development is as follows.
The first development was a regular 1600 m grid well pattern (1990 to 2003).
1100 m well spacing for infill wells (since 2004 were developed due to poor lateral reservoir
connectivity.
To date, a further gradual reduction in the well spacing has occurred reaching 550 m. This has
taken place throughout the developed Tunu Phases 12 and 13A, B & C.
Figure 5 shows development of Tunu grid system.

Figure 5: Tunu Well Spacing Development

In 2013 infill 400 wells were drilled. First feed‐back on productions was encouraging. Followings
this, further 400 m infill spacing were drilled.
The directional challenge become harder because the well trajectory has to be adjusted for the 400
m spacing requirement.

Figure 6: Well Stakes vs Well Spacing

Another challenge with less spacing of the wells is the stake of the wells. Decreasing well spacing
also reduced the expected stake per well.
The economic challenge of the well due to its limited stake reserves is the driving factor to drill the
well with more cost efficient One of the mean to suite the requirement is to use the existing
surface facility.
Meaning, more well number density in the same area

10
Tunu Shallow Reservoir Well Development

Figure 7 : Mean to Develop Tunu Shallow Reservoir

In 2009 Tunu Shallow Reservoir located in 600 – 1200 m TVD started to be exercised. A few
reservoirs were recognized by existing wells (seen as shallow hazard previously). The reservoir is
considered having good reservoir property with a strong aquiver support, consequently to the
shallow unconsolidated formation, the production Is requiring sand control. The production of
shallow reservoir as illustrated in figure 7 are:
 Using existing TMZ well:
o By performing Light Work Over,
o Drilling Twin Wells, and
o Drilling opti twin wells.
 Based on Seismic Current Acquisition
Drilling new independent wells, based on the data acquisition
1.1.2 Tambora Field History

Tambora Field was discovered in 1974, followed by 23 appraisal wells to the year of 1984. Oil
Development wells were drilled in the period of 1985 to 1989. Gas development wells drilled in the
period of 1990 – 1995 with wellhead concentrated in GTS‐1 & GTS‐2. POD phase 2 was performed
in 2003 to 2009 with wellheads located in additional GTS‐2ex, GTS‐3 and GTS‐4. Further
development in phase 3 (2010 – 2013) and phase 4 (2014 – current) without adding GTS.

Since 2014, Tambora development is based in deterministic mean; which is attempting to produce
gas on the up‐dip of the existing producing wells. Therefor the drilled wells were targeted on the
crestal Tambora reservoir. The Tambora POD Phase 4 drilling campaign were without adding major
surface facilities; ie: by maximizing use of the existing GTS for well surface location.

In the future Tambora Asset will develop scheme as in Tunu by grade spacing.
As in Tunu Field the development scheme could lead to higher well density in the area.

11
1.1.3 Handil Field History

Handil Field was discovered in 1974. Early Handil production oil was started in 1975. A year later in
1976, Central Processing Area was inaugurated resulting a peak oil production in 1977 at 194
Mbopd, and production rate of 170 Mbopd was maintained through 1982.

In 2003 Handil oil revival plan & POD gas Phase 1 was started. In 2004 it is continued to Handil
POD. Phase 2 for both oil & gas was developed in 2007. The development is continued until recent
with POD Phase 4.

Handil infill wells were developed using dynamic synthesis and up‐dating geo‐model. The well
should sweep the spots where HC is not swept with the existing wells. The un‐swept reservoir can
either be in the crest or flank of the reservoir structure. The new infill wellheads are located in the
existing GTS/Cluster location.

1.1.4 TTH Fields Contribution to Mahakam PSC


The Mahakam PSC over 40 years development since 1974 was started as oil producer then
gradually becoming mainly gas producers. Within this period the hydrocarbon cumulative
produced from the Mahakam PSC is 4 Bboe (Billion barrel oil equivalent).
Gas production plateau occurred in period 2005 to 2010, strong decline was in 2011. But with
strong efforts the decline was less since 2012.

Challenges with TTH are: all fields are now mature, less stakes per well, complex surface
constraints and ageing installation.
Some of the wells are dying, hence to maximize hydrocarbon deliverability more well interventions
and drilling are required, as shown in illustration of figure 8.

Figure 8 : Mahakam Hydrocarbon Deliverability

1.2 WELL EVOLUTION
1.2.1 Well Architecture Evolution
Tunu Field with its extensive drilling campaign and most number of wells among TTH fields is the
main driver for well architecture evolution.
The well architecture evolution through decade since the early development in 1990 is for drilling
improvement to suite economic of the well. The improvement comprises of:
 Reduce drilling phase
 Reduce hole and casing sizes.
The attempts were supported by GSR by separating reservoir target based on formation pressure.
Table 1, 2 and 3 in the following pages 13, 14 and 15 show the well architecture development in
TTH fields.

All the above well architectures are applied for Tunu Main Zone and all other field reservoirs.

For example, most previous Handil wells are designed with mono bore architecture. Then it was
replaced with slimhole architecture and lately light architecture started to be used Handil Deep
Zone. Same with Handil Field, Tambora field also slimming down the architecture taking benefits of
Tunu Main Zone Architecture evolution.

Tunu Shallow reservoir started in 2009; 3 well architecture types were developed.

By the time well architecture development still being continued. The effort is to get the most
economical and fit for purpose mean to exploit the reservoir by slimming down the size and if
possible reducing the drilling phases.

1.2.2 GTS Platform Evolution

Initially, drilling platform in TTH area was designed as mono‐slot for a single development well.
In 1990, when Tunu field was developed, the design of platform was to accommodate 2 wellheads
per platform. At this stage, swamp rig without skidding capability was acceptable.

In parallel with the increasing development well drilling plan, the followings constraints were
faced:
 Land acquisition and reclaiming: longer time and increment cost due to fast development of
shrimp ponds.
 Accessibility of the GTS not located on the open sea
 More difficult dredging operations (potential difficulties on the fast‐sedimentation areas
such as GTS‐G and GTS‐S)
The above constraints were the driving force to be more efficient in building new platform and
utilizing existing platform to be more efficient.

In 2008 when most of the swamp rigs have the skidding capability,
 new platform is designed as quadri‐slot platform (4 wells/platform), and
 in the existing bi‐slot platform 3rd CP is driven to add one more wellhead become tri‐slot
platform.

Figure 9 : GTS Platform Evolution part 1

17
Starting 2014 when land acquisition process becomes worse due to:
 Fast development of shrimp ponds in Mahakam Area
 Land cost keep increasing
 New government rules which limiting the expansion of GTS area,
Improving the efficiency of the existing platform become a strict requirement in order to adapt
with the aforementioned constraints.

As a result, a single well platform can be converted to become to quadric slot by replacing the
jacket of the platform.

Due to its original design as bi‐slot platform, the tri‐slot platform cannot be converted to quadric‐
slot platform for the followings:
 its floor space is not sufficient to accommodate additional new well surface facilities,
 wellhead original arrangement and spacing is impossible to add one more well.

The requirement to increase the platform efficiency has consequence of increasing the well density
within the same platform.

Figure 10 : GTS Platform Evolution part 2

18
1.3 CP SIZE EVOLUTION

Conductor Pipe (CP) is the first pipe string in the oil/gas well. In CP is driven using hammer to
certain depth.

The CP function mainly during the surface hole drilling, ie:


 Foundation for Diverter
 Mean to flow drilling fluid to the mud system equipment during surface hole section, ie:
during drilling & cementing.
 Foundation for surface casing, to hang the surface casing before the cement sheath set.

The CP evolution in TTH can be summarized as follows:

In the early drilling in TTH swamp area, 30” CPs were driven with Rig Diesel Hammer. During these
days all TTH contracted rigs were specified to be equipped with diesel hammer. The 30” CPs were
driven to refusal point of diesel hammer usually around 50‐60 m penetration below sea/river bed.
Duration to drive CPs was 2.5 to 3.0 days. Then since the CP Driving operation was NOT considered
exposed to any hazard requiring rig equipment; in 2000 the CP driving operation was removed
from the rig time. The work was transferred to the site preparation period using Construction
Crane Barge. Most of the crane on Crane Barge had much more capacity than sufficient for lifting
hammers. The hammer was borrowed from contracted rig (Apexindo was the only rig contractors
allowing its hammer to be operated out site its rig). In 2002 it was decided to reduce the CP size
from 30” CP; 1” Wall Thickness to become 24”; 0.75” WT. Contingency measured at the time; a
17”1/2 tapered mill was prepared on the rig in case the CP collapsed. After several wells with 24”
OD – X56 ‐ 0.75 WT CP proved without anomaly, it was concluded the 24” OD – X56 ‐ 0.75 WT CP is
sufficient for TTH wells.

In 2nd June 2003 a shallow gas kick occurred in the well TN‐C9 drilled by Ensco‐1 rig. 24” CP was
driven to 62 m penetration below mud line (93 m MD BRT); 17”1/2 shallow gas phase was drilled to
TD at 1691 m MD/1299 m TVD. 17”1/2 was pulled normally with flow check performed at TD and
24” CP. After BHA laid down and 13”1/3 CP was run to 140 m MD, flow was observed. The diverter
was closed and flow is diverted through diverter line. Attempt to kill the flow by pumping all the
mud followed by sea water failed. Flow was monitored, and gas craterring was observed around
the rig. To prevent further loss, casing was dropped to the well, Ensco 1 rig was pulled off location
to safe area.

After the incident, study was performed. With gas craterring observed around well location,
meaning the well kick fluid pressure cannot be held by formation strength at CP shoe.
With 24” CP shoe depth only ±60 m below mud line the formation strength is not sufficient for the
shallow phase drilling aiming to reach ±1200 m TVD.
The study recommendation is requiring the CP driven to ±110 m penetration below mud line for
the formation strength able to hold shallow gas kick at ±1200 m TVD.
The depth requirement cannot be performed using diesel hammer.
A hydraulic hammer with minimum of 90 k‐joule power delivery is required to suite the
requirement. Then a CP Driving Service with Hydraulic Hammer was commenced in 2003.

Following the spirit of well architecture slimming down; in 2011, 20” CP X56 0.625 WT was driven
for several wells in Tunu wells as pilot to test the possibility to be used as CP. At the time, the trial
was checking ability of 20” CP X56 0.625 WT to be driven to 110 m penetration without
experiencing pipe collapse.
Based on the criteria, then the 20” CP X56 0.625 WT is considered acceptable to be used as
standard CP in TTH field wells. Then, 20” CP X56 0.625 WT was started to be purchased and used in
all TTH well CPs since 2014.

2 MANAGING CHALLENGE
2.1 BACK GROUND
Since the directional drilling technique used in the oil well drilling, it was known CP always
deviates when driven regardless of the CP size (confirmed by GYRO in CP).

During the use of 30” CP which was driven to refusal point with diesel hammer, average
penetration in Handil and Tambora is ±50 m and Tunu is ±60 m. During the use of 30” CP period, it
was acceptable NOT to control CP inclination & direction for:
 Well number around GTS still relatively not much, collision issue was NOT excessive.
 With 30” sturdiness & rigidity, CP is relatively vertical when driven. High Inclination unlikely
resulted, usually <4°.
 Platform was not crowded with wells. Even initially, only one slot well in a GTS platform.

At the time, CP inclination & direction were not controlled; CP was driven as long as it reached the
desired depth.
After CP clean out and gyro run, the well path was nudged to its intended direction. Whatever the
gyro result on CP (direction & inclination); well path correction with directional drilling work was
not risking of colliding the well with the well previously drilled.

Hence, deviated CP was accepted as it was (no collision issue seen) and well path was corrected
conveniently. There was no requirement to control CP inclination & direction.

Starting in 2002 with:


 CP size was reduced to 24”, meaning CP started to be relatively more flexible.
 Driving depth is required to be deeper.

Several incidents related to CP direction & inclination occurred and costing severe drilling related
cost. In the extreme case the slot has to be abandoned because CP of the wells in platforms was
colliding.
Followings table summarized CP related incidents which lead to control the CP inclination &
direction:

21
On 11 Dec 2006, after cleaning out 24” CP with 17”1/2 BHA and gyro was run in‐side the CP, it was
found gyro is showing that CP inclination 4.60° at direction 241.91° A approaching existing well TN‐
AA8. Drilling was resumed with attempts to stay away from the existing well TN‐AA8 failed; the
well path was still too close to TN‐AA8 at 2.68 m distance at CP shoe depth.

To resume drilling, TN‐AA8 was secured and the annulus is pressure up for possible collision
monitoring. The rig had to be on stand by while WLI securing TN‐AA8 well. Total time NPT was 3.5
days with estimated cost of US$360 000,‐‐

At the time the collision avoidance rule was not developed and requirement for anti collision was
not so stringent like this time now. Should the current rules applied, the cost would be much
more than US$360 000,‐‐.

In 7 – 11 January 2007 two CPs were driven in bi‐slot platform #7 of GTS‐S for the planned TN‐S20
& TN‐S21 slim‐hole architecture wells. On TN‐S20 drilled by Searex‐4 rig; after CP cleaned out and
gyro run in the CP; it was found TN‐S20 CP is closing to TN‐S21.
Heavy directional drilling nudge was required to resume TN‐S20 with extensive gyro run on wire
line during drilling surface section. NPT due to this work was 1.8 days with estimated cost of
US$290000,‐‐.

At the time, slot TN‐S21 was decided to be abandoned and the target initially assigned for TN‐S21
was drilled from other platform. However due to slot requirement, few months later, the slot was
assigned for other target with lighter architecture (LA). Even 4 years later, 3rd CP was driven for
TN‐S51 well.

Why CP Deflected When Driven?


Every pipe manufactured is NOT perfectly straight. They always deflected in certain side.

Figure 11 : Pipe Deflection

Defelection is expressed in percentage = Pipe Deflection divided by Total pipe Length

API 5L is allowing maximum deflection 0.2% of the pipe length.


Since the purchase of OCTG mainly referring to API Specs, then all the CP material always has
deflection.

22
Before the CP related incident, the 24” CPs were joined just fulfilling the welding requirement only,
ie: ovallity, high‐low, and pipe seam has to be separated 0.25% Pipe OD. Then, 24” CPs were driven
with the deflection of each pipe joins were not aligned, resulting the CP can deviate anywhere in
direction.

When bi‐slot platform started to be introduced in 2004 and CP collision issues were experienced in
December 2006 and in March 2007 (as explained above) attempts to control deviated CP started to
be developed.

2.2 CONTROLLING & IMPROVING 24” CP DEFLECTION DIRECTION


Mean to control 24” CP direction & inclination started to be developed. The following table
summarized the main Improvement Attempts.

(*)Note: Initial cut angle 30 resulting average inclination 9o‐11o. Reduce cut angle to 20o resulting
o

average inclination 5o‐7o.

2.2.1 PIPE DEFLECTION


Challenge
The pipe deflection is affecting pipe behavior when the pipe is driven as conductor pipe.

Solution Developed
To take best advantage of the imperfect pipe condition, the deflection sides of pipes are aligned in
one side to help build inclination. The concave deflection side (inner arc) is directed to the plan CP
well direction.

23
In the early identification of 24” CP concave deflection, simple method was used to identify CP
concave deflection side as shown by illustration in figure 12.

Figure 13 : Deflection Measurement Illustration

 At the welding shop, the CP was set across pipe rack.


 A strong string was stretch across pipe length at several pipe side positions.
 When the maximum deflection identified, the side is marked as concave side.
 One set of CP consist of the followings (to suite 110 m penetration below mud line):
1 x 24 m long CP Shoe Join, 5 x 18 CP Joins and 1 x 12 m.
 Every pipe component with marked concave side is checked
 The joints is defined at the welding shop with condition the joints when welded is not
jeopardizing welding joint requirement (ie: high‐low and seam separation).
At the well side, the pipe was pickup with sequence already prepared in welding shop.
The marked concave deflections are aligned with scribe line. The scribe line is directed to the well
plan direction.

This first attempt though not perfect, started to give CP direction control. Most CP at the time
deflected in the same quadrant of the plan well direction.

2.2.2 MULE SHOE


Challenge
After several 24” CP driven with aligning the concave deflection side, requirement to have more
24” CP direction accuracy was increasing due to well density in the area.

Solution Developed
Idea of initiating deflection by cutting mule shoe on the shoe joint was implemented. Mule shoe
cut profile is intended to initiate build inclination in the direction of the well plan direction. The
formation reaction force effect to mule shoe profile described as follows:
When CP starts to shear the soil as it driven through the formation, formation generates friction
force acting on the CP wall. On the CP sharp end side, the friction force is slightly bigger than on
the opposite side (refer to figure 13 for the illustration). CP starts to flick due to this different. As
the CP goes deeper, and the formation become firmer, difference of the friction force acting on
these opposite becomes bigger. The building of inclination is continued.

24
As it can be seen on the CP gyro survey result, the build‐up rate inclination is bigger in the deeper
part of CP.

Figure 14 : Mule Shoe Friction Theory

Apart of the friction force acting on the CP wall, the force acting at the bottom of CP also has factor
in building the inclination as illustrated below. When the force from the hammer is applied to the
CP string and continued longitudinally to the bottom tip of CP, the force get reaction force by
formation. It is illustrated in figure 14 below.

Figure 15 : Mule Shoe Reaction Force Theory

25
At the well site when 24” CP driven, on the 24” CP string with aligned concave deflection and sharp
end mule shoe side, a scribe line is drawn. This scribe line is directed to the well directional plan
direction. The shoe joint before being picked‐up can be seen in the following figure 15.

Figure 16 : Shoe Joint Picture

Initially the mule shoe cut‐off angle was 30° resulting average inclination 9°‐11°. Then it was
reduced to become 20° resulting average inclination 5°‐7° which fit for the purpose with well
directional drilling plan.

With the CP Mule shoe cut‐off, the average 24” CP deviation is improving from 78° Azimuth
deviation down to 34° Azimuth Deviation.

2.2.3 PREVENTING CP TURNING WHEN DRIVEN WITH FIN

Challenge
When 24” CP driven, it was observed the scribe line of concave deflection and sharp end mule shoe
is moving off from reference well directional plan.
As an example the following example from TN‐Dx25 well 24” CP driven in 10 – 13 May 2007. The
scribe line was moving off from reference point (well directional plan) and became bigger as the CP
depth getting deeper. Table 7 : Scribeline Movement Illustration

2 1 cm 2°A
3 3 cm 5°A
4 4 cm 7°A
5 6 cm 11°A
6 8 cm 14°A
Figure 17 : Scribe Line Movement Illustration

Scribe line observation movement off from reference point can be referred in the table 7 on the
right.

26
Solution Developed
Installing the fin on the 24” CP string idea was to prevent the turning of CP while it is driven.
Illustration of the mechanism can be seen as follows:

Figure 18 : CP Turning Illustration

Initially as mentioned in Control Attempt #3, one fin was installed on the CP string. The fins
description & sizes can be referred in the following figure 18:

Figure 19 : 1st Fin Description

With one fin, the attempt improved 24” CP deviation from 34° Azimuth deviation down to 23.5°
Azimuth Deviation.

27
2.2.4 STRONGER PREVENTION OF CP TURNING WHEN DRIVEN WITH 2ND FIN
Challenge
Although one fin already reducing CP turning when driven with a leap frog improvement on CP
accuracy; however, during CP driving operation, scribe line slight movement still observed.
Solution Developed
Additional fin #2 was added to the 24” CP string. The 2nd fin was installed on the 2nd CP at the
opposite of the scribe line. The 2nd fin is expected to give more resistance for CP to turn when
driven.
When this 2nd fin added to the CP string, there was no more scribe line movement observed
anymore during CP Driving operation. Following picture shows record on no scribe line movement
from the start of CP driving until the last join driven.

Figure 20 : Scribe Line Movement Result Illustration

Adding 2nd fin in the string (described as Control Attempt #4), reducing average direction deviation
with 24” CP from 23.5° Azimuth deviation down to 15.7° Azimuth Deviation.

These attempts to control 24” CP Direction is used since 2007 until end of 2013 can be summarized
in the following table:
Table 8 : 24” CP Direction Control Result Summary

Note: Accuracy improvement can be seen on improvement on average deviation and
improvement in percentage of CP deviation less than 15°.

28
2.2.5 APPRECIATION FOR CONTROLLING 24” CP DIRECTION
The method to control 24” CP Direction was proposed in the Total HQ Innocom (Innovation
Competition) in 2009. The TTH team idea to control CP direction was awarded as Best Idea.

Figure 21: Best Idea Total HQ Innocom 2009 Award

Figure 22: Best Idea Total HQ Innocom 2009 Award Inauguration

29
When the 1st edition of CR EP FP 415 issued in 2009, the method of controlling the CP direction was
also included in the CR.

Figure 23 : CP Deviation side aligned on the same scribeline illustration

2.3 CONTROLLING & IMPROVING 20” CP DEFLECTION DIRECTION

2.3.1 BACK GROUND


Following 20” CP Trial in 2011 where the 20” CP was proven able to be driven to 110 m depth
penetration without experiencing pipe collapse, 20” CP and wellheads were started to be
purchased and in 2014 WLC/TTH 20”CP size was started to be used as TTH standard CP.

This size of CP apart of smaller in diameter the CP is also thinner.


CP specifications comparison:
 24” CONDUCTOR PIPE: 24"OD, GRADE X56, 0.750"WT, 186.23 PPF
 20” CONDUCTOR PIPE: 20"OD, GRADE X56, 0.625"WT, 129.33 PPF,

In the early use of 20” CP using 24” CP inclination & direction control mean, the result was very
disappointing as shown in following graph below.

Figure 24 : Grapic of early use of 20" CP Result

These disappointing results requiring a lot of efforts to correct well path to reach back its initial
directional plan (MOC, Game Plan etc). Whenever CP Clean out operation is carried out, the whole
TTH team has to stay alert. Since CP direction result can be significantly away from plan direction
there will be a lot of major changes in the well program.
Even in some occasion the drilling program cannot be resumed because it’s CP bottom hole
location is too close to adjacent existing well. The target reservoir has to be accessed from other
surface location.
After few years with 24” CP without major issue with CP direction, the use of 20” CP with big
uncertainty of CP direction in 2014 requiring major effort to be able to control the 20” CP direction.

31
2.3.2 DIRECTIONAL DRILLING CHALLENGES & REQUIREMENT
In the initial TTH fields development where platform was assigned only for one well, the directional
work was only attempting of directing well path to hit the well geological targets. Collision issue
was not identified apart from well spacing was quite far and location was not crowded with existing
wells.
At the same time of 20” CP application, following development schemes were also implemented:
 Reduction of infill well grade spacing
 Platform efficiency drilling more wells without building more GTS .
With all the above, wells become more crowded in the same GTS area. Shallow target
development with long horizontal displacement, requires kick‐off to be performed aggressively at
shallower depth.
Following illustrations are current situation with well situations in the GTS of TTH filed.
TUNU HANDIL

TAMBORA

Figure 25 : Well situation in TUNU, HANDIL, and TAMBORA.

Nowadays, thousand wells have been drilled in Mahakam Swamp area. This condition make
trajectory anti collision plan becomes harder challenge. Company Rules with anti collision become
more stringent making directional collision issues become more complex.

32
Mitigation is essential to avoid the collision issues. CP is the 1st pipe string in the drilling operation
consequently CP direction is affecting the sub‐sequence directional drilling operation.
With the crowded well trajectory, CP deviation direction tolerant becomes narrower also. In an
extreme example the narrowest driven CP driving tolerant was ±2.5o right and left. A close actual
CP direction to plan driven CP direction definitely helps securing well from anti‐collision issue.

Figure 26 : Narrow CP driving direction tolerant illustration

Some collision issues start to appear in CP driving stage. One example is happened in TN‐P68 as
shown in the following picture well spider plot.
TN‐P68
TN‐P22

Figure 27 : CP collision issue example in TN‐P68

33
2.3.3 20” CP IMPROVEMENT PROGRESS
The followings improvements progress is the most recent improvement performed in TTH
to control 20” CP Deflection Direction after disappointing results of using 24” CP mean.

2.3.3.1 IMPROVEMENT #1: INCREASE CP RIGIDITY


Problem
The high flexibility of 20” CP can be seen on CP Gyro run result after clean out. 20”CP is
observed turning/spiraling from surface to the CP shoe. As the CP size & thickness reduced,
the 20” CP sting is more flexible to be flexed when driven.
The spiraling behavior is caused by this flexibility of 20” CP. Hence a rigidizing mechanism is
required to compensate the flexible 20” CP. Adding fins on the 20” CP string is expected to
make CP more rigid.
Followings is survey result of the spiraling CP. It can be seen at 40 m MD with 0.37°
inclination at 30.22° Azimuth Direction, the CP is spiraling when building angle to 3.36°
Inclination at 128 m MD by turning direction to become 72.97° Azimuth Direction.
This phenomenon occurred to most of 20” CP driven using method of 24” CP Driving (which
was successfully control 24” CP for years).

34
Solution: Rigidizing CP by adding fins

Previous 24” CP fins design consist of 2 fins installed at high side and low side of the CP join.
To prevent 20” CP spiraling when driven, it is desired to make the 20” CP string more rigid
and prevent to turn when driven.

By adding fins it is expected able to suite the desire to make 20” CP string more rigid. Six
fins are installed at same high side/scribe line concave deflection side of the CP join.

Figure 29 : 20” CP Fins Configuration


Number of the fins are 6 each with 6 m distance among the fins.
Fins numbers 1st to 3rd are designed with two taper shapes at the front and rear of fins. This
fins double tapered shape help fins pass through the driving sleeve rail when 20” CP is
reciprocated. The CP usually is reciprocated to ease off formation turning effect when CP
string still in the self penetration stage. Once CP string in the hard formation and
penetration is done with hammer weight (and blow), the formation turning effect is
prevented by the fins.

35
2.3.3.2 IMPROVEMENT #2: DRIVING SLEEVE PREVENTING CP TO TURN DURING SELF
PENETRATION STAGE
Problem
CP tends to turn when it is self penetrating the formation due to formation effect.

Solution: Driving Sleeve

Driving Sleeve is 30” diameter by 6 m long steel cylinder with rails for fins to pass through
which prevent CP to turn when 20” CP is running and penetrating soft formation. Six
alignment bolts on top of driving sleeve adjusted to assist keeping the CP vertical. The
driving sleeve is installed on BAF (Base Alignment Frame) by tag weld. BAF is attached to
platform floor or in the case temporary template is attached to pair of I‐beam.

The fins rail side of driving sleeve is directed to the well plan direction. The fins rail keep the
20” CP scribe line of concave deflection and mule shoe sharp end at plan well direction
when 20” CP is run through. The distant among the 20” CP fins is 6 m. With this
combination mechanism the 20” CP scribe line is kept at the well plan direction. When one
fin is passing bottom of driving sleeve; the next fin enters the fin rail.

3.3.1.3 IMPROVEMENT RESULTS OF RIGIDIZING CP & USE OF DRIVING SLEEVE

As shown in the following chart; CP rigidity improvement and the use of driving sleeve
attempt increases CP direction average accuracy from 45.7o A to become 36.8o A. From 27
CP driven, 8 CPs had been driven with average accuracy below 15o.

Figure 31 : Rigidizing CP & Use of Driving Sleeve Improvement Results.

37
2.3.3.3 IMPROVEMENT #3: PRECISION SURFACE DIRECTION

Problem
After the well plan direction information sent to field by TEPI office Balikpapan (WLC/TTH &
ECP/STD/DMM), TOPO Surveyor uses compass and theodolite to define well location and
plan direction. No confirmation tool was available on location to eliminate direction
ambiguity. The ambiguity was worsening if CP driving was conducted using temporary
template at remote area.

Solution: WAD‐GPS (Wide Area Differential GPS)


Eliminating this ambiguity, WAD‐GPS (Wide Area Differential GPS) was utilized for direction
confirmation. WAD‐GPS is a very accurate GPS with 5 cm accuracy. For direction correction
check, two WAD‐GPS antennas were installed at BAF as in picture below. The position of
two antennas is representing the CP direction. By knowing the location coordinate of the
two antennas, direction can be defined and confirmed. The precision on direction definition
is greatly improved after utilization of WAD‐GPS. WAD‐GPS had also been cross‐checked
against Gyro Data tool. The difference is very small; ie: less than 0.025° Azimuth.

Figure 32 : WAD‐GPS Installation

38
2.3.3.4 IMPROVEMENT #4: OPERATION SAFETY IMRPOVEMENT & CP JOINING ACCURACY
Problem
Previously, CP joining in CP driving operation was performed in such a hazardous condition
and the condition is worse when the CP driving operation is performed in the new well
location where permanent platform is not available yet. After temporary template set as
directed by Topo Surveyor, pair of I‐beams set across the temporary template. This bare I‐
beam pair is used as path way and working platform. All the operation involved persons are
very prone to be over‐board to the sea.

Figure 33 : Temporary Template Installation Condition

The above I‐beam pair working platform was used until CP Shoe joint driven. When next
joint pick up to be joined, scaffolding was built to support CP driving crews during fitting up
and welding. During fitting up operation, the crews involved in CP joining exposed below
suspended 3 tons weight CP to align into the CP stump. In rough weather, the already
hazard situation become more severe; free swing CP crashing to the scaffolding may
happen. The people in the scaffolding will be in this very dangerous situation as seen in the
following pictures no 33.

The hazardous working conditions of bare pair I‐beam as working platform and people
exposed to suspended load is un‐acceptable by any safety standard.

39
Scaffolding

Figure 34 : Scaffolding Condition

Solution: Wooden Plank Bridge & Fit Up Frame


First attempt was to build a safer working platform. Across I‐beam, wood planks were set
along the pair I‐beam. With the ‘wide bridge’ personnel works is safer and minimize the
exposure to be over‐board.

Figure 35 : Wide Bride on I‐Beam Illustration

Exposing personnel below suspended load has to be avoided at all effort. Fit‐up Frame
initially was developed for this purpose, ie: removing person to guide CP when connection
was going to be made and the next CP to be joint still being lifted and swing to the driven
CP stump. The fit‐up frame shall replace scaffolding and it has to be sturdy and strong
enough to be bumped by suspended CP. The crew can guide the suspended CP using tag
line. After the CP is quite secure in the fit‐up frame then people can go into fit‐up frame to
resume the joining process. But after the condition is safe because suspended CP is quite
secured.

40
Figure 36 : Fit‐Up Frame Joining Illustration

Today, no crew needs to stand below the suspended CP to align the CP. As the structure is
more rigid the crews involved in joint welding become safer and more confident during
joining and welding operation.

Since the joining can be done in a safer situation, joining accuracy was also improving. By
steadier structure, fitting up operation could be done more precise by the crews.

The top plain end CP joint after driving is damaged due to hammer impact. Prior joining
next joint the top plain end have to be cut‐off to suite welding requirement. The crew now
can perform the cut‐off as described in the following picture precisely.

41
The Cut is perpendicular
with driven CP Axis

Figure 37 : Driven CP stump cut off after driving

It is required to cut off the top of CP perpendicular to the axes of driven CP (picture 36 ideal
case). If the cut off is not correct, it may cause CP to flick to other direction or building un‐
desired higher inclination.

42
3.3.1.4 IMPROVEMENT RESULTS OF PRECISION SURFACE DIRECTION AND JOINNING
PRECISION DUE THE USE OF FIT UP FRAME

Precision surface direction and joining precision improvement are able to increase CP
direction average accuracy from 36.8° to become 30.2°. From 19 CP driven using the
improvement of accuracy, 8 CP had been driven with average accuracy below 15°.

Figure 38 : Precision Surface Direction and Joining Precision Improvement Result Graphic

2.3.3.5 IMPROVEMENT #5: CHECKING HAMMER SLEEVE ID & DIRECTION ACURACY
RESULT IMPROVEMENT
Problem
During TM‐121 20” CP driving operation, it was observed the hammer not aligned with CP
string being driven. From the picture below, it can be observed that the hammer is not
aligned to the driven CP. If the hammer un‐alignment is not at 180° off the plan direction, it
can cause to flick the driven CP deflected to other direction than the intended direction
(especially) when CP string still in soft formation (1st shoe & 2nd joins).

Solution: Hammer Sleeve ID Check


When driving was interrupted to check the hammer sleeve, it was found the sleeve reducer
had been worn out; there is too big clearance of sleeve ID to the CP OD.
TM‐121 Good Example

Sleeve

Figure 39 : Hammer Alignment Comparison Picture

Based on this fact, hammer sleeve ID must be less than of 20.5”, The check shall be done :
 Before the hammer leaving its base and
 Prior the job executions.

Figure 40 : Inner Hammer Sleeve Meassurement Ilustration

When hammer is set on CP string, ensure they are perfectly aligned.

With this attempt to check equipment accuracy increases CP direction average accuracy
from 30.2o to be 22.3o. From 30 CP driven, 13 CP had been driven with average accuracy
below 15o.

3.3.1.8 IMPROVEMENT #6: CHECKING CP LOCATION FROM METAL DEBRIS
Problem: Sea Bed Debris interfering with CP Running Operation
TN‐AA185 20” CP was driven in 26 – 29 Nov 2014 by CB Palong 3. Rig Hibiscus was moved in
8 Dec 2014 to drill the well. CP was cleaned out with 17”1/2 BHA to 129 m MD (CP Shoe at
132.7 m MD). When gyro was run in the CP, it was observed the result was excessive, i.e. :
22.98° inclination and 204.68° azimuth at 117.85 m MD. Plan direction at 120 m MD: 5°
inclination and 215° azimuth. Further drilling stage with running 12”1/4 BHA was held up at
CP shoe. It was concluded that the CP is collapsed. Then it was decided to abandon the well.
TN‐AA185 reservoir was accessed from other surface location. The related approximate cost
due to this incident was MUS$ 1.3.

Analysis
In the same plat‐form of TN‐AA185, there are:
 TN‐U15 well drilled in the period 4 Oct 2004 to 17 Feb 2005,
 TN‐AA184 & TN‐AA186 with 20” CP driven in 20 – 24 Oct 2014 and drilling
completion period in 27 Oct to 23 Nov 2014.
TN‐AA185 20” CP was driven was the last well in this quadric slot platform. Comparing TN‐
AA185 20” CP Driving Curve to TN‐AA184 & TN‐AA186 20” CP Driving Curves (with no
anomaly), it was found:
Table 10 : Driving Curve Comparison Table of TN‐AA185 to TN‐AA184 & TN‐AA186

Self‐ Hammer
Well penetration penetration Initial hammer energy
depth (m) depth (m)
TN‐AA184 & TN‐ 3 blows @ 4 kilo‐joules/25
5.5 14.75
AA186 cm
6 blows @ 10 kilo‐joules/25
TN‐AA185 3.75 13.75
cm

From the above table, it can be seen:


The self penetration depth & penetration with hammer weight were shallower and the
starting energy required to drive the 20” CP in TN‐AA185 well is bigger.
It was suspected when 20” CP TN‐AA185 stabbed to sea‐bed, it dragged along foreign hard
(metal) debris. This metal debris developed a higher friction force to the CP string, resulting
shallower self penetration depth & penetration with hammer weight depth. When driving
was resumed and the penetration become harder, the debris was held by formation causing:
 CP string to flick and build high inclination, and
 CP collapsed.
Consequently it was too risky to use the CP for further stage of drilling operation. Further
investigation with diving survey, it was found other excessive metal debris around the wells.
Further details of the incident investigation can be referred to the Attachment no.2.

46
Solution: Debris Probe
Preventive Action and Way Forward
Based on the experience in TN‐AA185, precautionary action prior to every CP Driving has to
be performed as follows:
If there is any activity prior to CP Driving in the same location, any drop object to sea bed has
to be reported.
Whenever condition permits, debris survey shall be performed.
Debris check using debris probe shall be done inside the Driving Sleeve prior to pick up shoe
joint after setting the Driving sleeve. Following are the steps:
 Run the debris probe in‐side the Driving Sleeve to sea bed.
 Rotate in 30° step clock wise 3 times, every step attempt to push debris probe with
hand to penetrate the sea bed.
 Pull out the debris probe, check the ‘tell‐tale’ plastic string. The plastic string must be
still intake, if the plastic string is broken raise the matter to Balikpapan Office.
Further debris survey with diving barge may be required.

Figure 42 : Debris Probe Picture

The method of checking debris with debris stick is proven effective. Since the method is
applied, no more similar incident like in TN‐AA185 experienced.

1.1.1.9 IMPROVEMENT #7: STABBING ANGLE & DIRECTION ACURACY RESULT
IMPROVEMENT

Problem
After all previous control attempts, it is observed the Inclination & Direction at CP shoe is
very close with Inclination & Direction at ±40 m MD RT (±20 m MSL). The depth is the depth
when CP shoe join #1 is spudded/stabbed to formation. At this depth, CP is penetrating
formation by its own weight. Hammering is not started yet as this depth. Expectedly it still
can be controlled by inflicting starting angle to the desired direction.

Solution: Stabbing Angle


Inflicting inclination can be developed by tilting the CP joint when started to be stabbed to
the formation. Then “stabbing angle” feature is developed.

CP joint is run thru Driving Sleeve. When it pass the bottom of Driving Sleeve (6.5 m depth
mark), CP is set to be vertical and in the center of Driving Sleeve using aligning bolts &
maneuvering Crane Boom. At the bottom of Driving Sleeve Pusher Knob is installed. CP is
lowered to 7 m depth mark. The alignment bolts (at the top of Driving Sleeve are adjusted
to push CP off center by 3 cm), resulting CP to make angle 0.28° from vertical ~ stabbing
angle.

Figure 43 : Stabbing Angle and Driving Sleeve Illustration

48
1.1.1.10 IMPROVEMENT RESULTS OF STABBING ANGLE & DIRECTION ACCURACY RESULT
IMPROVEMENT
Method improvement is able to increase CP direction average accuracy from 22.3o to be
18.9o. From 18 CP driven, 13 CP had been driven with average accuracy below 15o.

Figure 44 : Stabbing Angle & Direction Accuracy Improvement Result

49
1.1.1.11 IMPROVEMENT #8: DRIVING SLEEVE BOTTOM SIDE KNOB CONTROL & DIRECTION
ACURACY RESULT IMPROVEMENT

Problem
After CP is forced using alignment bolts to have inclination at planned direction; it was
observed CP string also tend to lean to other direction. It is found at the bottom of Driving
Sleeve on perpendicular of plan direction side clearances are allowing CP to lean. Hence the
clearances have to be removed to keep CP vertical at perpendicular side of plan direction
sides.

Solution: Side Control


At bottom of Driving Sleeve the side rail; bottom knobs are installed on both sides to
prevent CP leaning to this perpendicular of plan direction side. CP has possibility to lean on
side of the driving sleeve due to clearance between CP and side tip of driving sleeve. Side
knob is added to minimize the side clearance by eliminating side leaning tendency. To
ensure no side leaning, a spirit level tool is used for confirmation.

Figure 45 : Side Control Improvement

1.1.1.12 IMPROVEMENT RESULTS OF DRIVING SLEEVE BOTTOM SIDE KNOB CONTROL &
DIRECTION ACCURACY RESULT IMPROVEMENT
This improvement to control of side leaning is able to increase CP direction average
accuracy from 18.9o to become 17.1o. From 8 CP driven, 5 CP had been driven with average
accuracy below 15o.

Figure 47 : Driving Sleeve Bottom Side Knob Control & Direction Accuracy Improvement Result

51
3.3.1.13 IMPROVEMENT #9: CP JOINT SIDE DEFLECTION CONTROL & DIRECTION ACURACY
RESULT IMPROVEMENT
Problem
Bottom Driving Sleeve is controlled; CP is deflected using alignment bolts.
When CP is checked using spirit level, the CP still leaning to perpendicular of plan direction
sides. Further checked on CP shoe join (1st on TM‐125), it is observed apart deflecting on
scribe line, join also deflecting on perpendicular of plan direction sides.
On gyro results, side deflection is affecting:
 Direction at 40 m ~ stabbing depth
 Direction & inclination at CP shoe.

Figure 48 : Side Deflection Illustration

Solution: Side Deflection Control


Steps to measuring CP Deflection:
 Set support wheel at flat surface with distance = pipe length to be measured – 3m
 Set CP joint on support wheel, the joint naturally turns to its stable position with its
center gravity at bottom. The deflected side is located on top side of pipe.
 Measure CP shoe joint deflection at scribe line & 90° off scribe line side

52
Figure 49 : Pipe Deflection Measurement Roller

Ratio Deflection
Based on actual data result, CP direction deviation will be minimum; if:

Deviation at 90° Off Scribe Line


Deviation at Scribe Line
<0.5

To minimize CP direction deviation it is required to full‐fill the above condition by choosing


CP shoe join with minimum ratio of deflection at 90° scribe line side over deviation at
scribe‐line. If the ratio is not acceptable, CP shoe join to be rejected & repaired at welding
shop.

53
3.3.1.14 IMPROVEMENT RESULTS OF DRIVING SLEEVE BOTTOM SIDE KNOB CONTROL &
DIRECTION ACCURACY RESULT IMPROVEMENT
Bottom side control knob of driving sleeve improve CP direction average accuracy from
17.1o become 11.34o. From 4 CP driven, 3 CP has been driven with average accuracy below
15o.

3.3.1.15 SPECIAL CASE: CP DRIVING FOR HIGH INCLINATION AT CP SHOE

In some special cases; high inclination (>7°) is required at CP shoe depth. Modification of
equipment and procedure has been implemented from the standard one. The purpose of high
inclination requirement is for shallow high inclination well and collision avoidance. In order to
achieve 10° inclination at CP shoe, modification was performed as follows:

 Mule shoe cut of angle was increased from 15o to become 17o. By increasing mule shoe cut
of angle, it was expected to help building higher inclination.

17⁰

Figure 51 : 1st CP Joint Configuration for High Inclination CP

 Based on statistical data, bigger concave deflection at 0o A side resulting actual CP


inclination will be higher. With 1st CP shoe joint had a deflection more than 35 mm, the
actual CP inclination is expected to be 7°.

>35mm

Figure 52 : CP Deflection for High Inclination CP

 Stabbing angle is the starting inclination when CP is driven. Consequently, higher stabbing
angle should resulting final inclination on CP shoe.

55
Stabbing angle was increased by adding metal plate on the bottom side of driving sleeve
(pusher knob became 3cm from 2 cm) and aligning bolts adjustment on the top part of
driving sleeve to push CP off center: 15cm at CP Plan Direction ‐ 5 cm at opposite/180° off
CP Plan Direction. Expectedly CP shoe joint leans 0.45° towards well/CP plan direction.

The procedure of high inclination case has been implemented for three following wells with results:

Trial# Well Comments
Incl Dir Incl Dir
1 H‐Q‐353 10 90 9.07 86.11 Stabbing angle was constraint by Driving Sleeve

2 TN‐P68 10 345 7.13 329 Formation was softer in Tunu Field. It was shown
total energy required is smaller the H‐Q‐353.
3 H‐LB‐65 10 340 11.79 324.55 Higher inclination is achieved by increasing the
blow count limit to become 250 blows/25cm from
200 blows/25cm. The CP penetration is also
deeper.

56
Detail Analysis
H‐Q‐353
H‐Q‐353 well CP was used as pilot for high
inclination CP Driving. The well trajectory was
revised to suite the requirement.
To get 10° inclination, H‐Q‐353 CP driving
operation was performed with:
 Shoe joint mule shoe of 17° (normally
15°),
 Stabbing angle of 0.43° (normally 0.28°),
and
Actual  Choosing shoe joint with deflection pipe
of 28 mm (usually ± 20 mm).
Plan
Initially 0.5°stabbing angle was planned. In the
operation the stabbing angle cannot be achieved
Figure 54: H‐Q‐353 Vertical Section Well Path
due to the CP deflection and Driving Sleeve Rail
interference. The actual stabbing angle was 0.43°.
Hence with less stabbing angle the final 9.07° inclination result also less from the plan inclination of
10°.

TN‐P68
TN‐P68 collision issues start to appear in CP driving stage. The plan CP has collision risk with
existing TN‐P22 where its CP path is converging exactly below the TN‐P68 well position. The design
trajectory map view condition at the time was as follow.

TN‐P68 Collision interval is from


TN‐P22
surface to 85 mMD

Figure 55 : TN‐P68 surface plan trajectory map view condition

57
Based on T‐Desk software anti‐collision scan the CP is in green area with CtoC was approximately
1.5 m only. Therefore, to full‐fill the anti‐collision regulation, the TN‐P68 CP has to be driven with
much higher inclination build up rate to avoid close proximity with existingTN‐P22 CP.

During TN‐P68 driving, monitoring ensuring no collision with existing wells CP was performed by
comparing/overlaying the driving curve of TN‐P68 with existing wells CP (better accuracy
monitoring should be for the same size of CP in the close by area).

For TN‐P68 CP driving operation, CP operation preparation with:


 Shoe joint mule shoe of 17° (normally 15°),
 Stabbing angle of 0.45° (normally 0.28°), and
 Choosing shoe joint with deflection pipe of 28 mm (usually ± 20 mm).

Blow count x energy graph comparison was prepared to see if there is any anomaly during driving
operation. Below is blow count x energy graphics comparison of TN‐P68 CP driving.

When the rig was moved‐in to drill the well, after TN‐P68 CP clean out resulting inclination at CP
was 7.16° with direction diverting 16° A from the plan direction. Hence TN‐P68 was successfully
driven avoiding the collision and helping the subsequence directional work of the well.

H‐LB65
A similar collision avoidance CP Driving requirement was also occurred in H‐LB65 well; but H‐LB65
CP also required to have high inclination due to directional requirement. The well H‐LB65 well path
is attempting to reach target in shallow depth with quite far horizontal departure.

Similar preparation with TN‐P68 also prepared for H‐LB65 with a more stringent. An additional
advantage the well is located in Handil Field, where the soil hardness is better than Tunu Field. It is
expected, the inclination result should be better with the firmer soil formation.
As for TN‐P68 CP driving operation, H‐LB65 CP operation prepared with:
 Shoe joint mule shoe of 17° (normally 15°),
 Stabbing angle of 0.50° (normally 0.28°), and
 Choosing shoe joint with deflection pipe of 43 mm (usually ± 20 mm).

correctly. The Driving sleeve is inserted and tag welded onto the BAF with rail at planned well
direction.
The detail procedures are as follow:
 Pick‐up Driving Sleeve, align fins reel on Driving Sleeve to well CP Plan Direction.
 Check & ensure the Driving Sleeve is vertical using spirit level tool.
Tag‐weld the Driving Sleeve onto Base Alignment Frame (BAF).

3.3.4 METAL DEBRIS CHECK
 Get the well‐location water‐depth from TOPO/PAGEO reps.
 Prepare the Debris Probe Stick, tie the bottom part to stick with one layer of plastic tie
string (used as tell‐tale indicator).
 RIH to sea bed (based on water depth info from TOPO/PAGEO Reps).
 Attempt to push by hand ±0.25 cm into the sea bed.
 Pick‐up off sea bed, rotate 30°; re‐push into sea bed 0.25 cm.
 Repeat the steps 3 ‐ 4 times.
 Feel the jerk of broken string for the indication of the probe fingers pushing on hard/metal
debris.
 POOH the Debris Probe Stick. The plastic tie string tell‐tale must still be intact.
 If tie string is broken, raise the matter to Balikpapan office.
 Diving survey may be required to ensure the Sea Bed Area inside Driving Sleeve is clean
from metal debris.

3.3.5 RUN SHOE JOINT #1
Shoe Joint #1 Running is the most important step in the CP driving procedure. The first pipe shall be
directed and run/driven perfectly.
 Pick up 1st joint, align the scribe line to well CP plan direction.
 RIH CP shoe joint inside/insert through Driving Sleeve to ±6.5 m mark on CP shoe joint.

Figure 87 : 1st CP Joint Running Illustration

 Adjust crane boom position and aligning screws on Driving Sleeve to centralized CP shoe
joint to be in the Driving Sleeve and vertical.
 Distances CP shoe joint to inner Driving Sleeve at all sides are 10 cm.
 Adjust crane boom position for the CP shoe joint to be vertical (use spirit level tool to
confirm).

Figure 88 : CP Verticality Check

81
 Continue RIH CP shoe joint inside/insert through Driving Sleeve to ±7 to 7.5 m depth mark
on CP shoe joint.
 Use aligning bolts on Driving Sleeve to push bottom CP shoe Joint leaning 0.28° towards
well/CP plan direction. Re‐adjust crane boom position to assist leaning the CP Shoe join as
desired.
 Distance of CP OD to Driving Sleeve ID at top of Driving Sleeve:
o 13 cm at CP Plan Direction ‐ 7 cm at opposite/180° off CP Plan Direction
o Equal Distance (10 cm) at perpendicular/ ± 90° CP Plan Direction

Bolts push up 3cm off center of CP plan


d

Figure 89 : Stabbing Angle Setting Using Alignment Bolts

 Check using spirit level:


o CP shoe joint is leaning slightly to opposite/180° off CP Plan Direction.
o Vertical at perpendicular/ ±90° off CP Plan Direction.
 Continue RIH to ± 9 m mark, reciprocate/pick up to 7 m mark.
 Note the scribe line movement tendency.
 The intention to reciprocate pipe is to remove ‘turning formation effect’ to the CP Pipe
when CP penetrating formation.
 If no tendency of scribe line to rotate, continue RIH for next 2 m and reciprocate pipe.
Repeat the previous step for checking.
 Continue until CP Self penetration stop.

82
 Pick up hydraulic hammer. Set on top of the CP joint.
 Use hydraulic hammer weight to push CP until the penetration stop. Ensure no scribe line
movement rotation.
 Start driving with the lowest hammer energy level & lowest engine RPM.
 Observe CP downward movement when driven.
 If the CP is penetrating without hammer blow, stop hammer immediately.
 Wait until CP penetration stop, then recommence driving with lowest hammer energy level.
 If the CP string indicates penetration already in firm formation, increase energy gradually.
 Drive until Hammer Drive Sleeve +‐ 10 cm above top of Driving Sleeve.

If WLC/TTH is on board, he/she must witness the operation step from setting Driving
Sleeve until first driving on CP string.

83
3.3.6 CONNECTION
Connection (or ‘join’ as the common term used in field) is one of key to have good CP directional
accuracy. The procedure is as follow:
 Rig‐up Fit‐up Frame. Fit up frame function is to improve safety during connection; specially
in open/rough sea location where barge slight movement already make the lifted CP by
crane swings with quite severe amplitude.
 Lift & set Fit up frame on BAF. Lock the Fit up frame onto BAF with its pin.

Figure 90 : Fit‐Up Frame Installation to BAF illustration


 As the top of CP joint is damaged after driven, cut CP Driven stump perpendicular to CP join
axis to keep next join connected leaning to 180° (opposite) well/CP plan direction.

DO NOT cut CP stump horizontally (this will cause CP string to build inclination higher).

Figure 91 : CP Joining Cut Illustration

84
3.3.7 RUN CONDUCTOR PIPE #2 & SUBSEQUENCE JOINTS TO FINISH DRIVING
Ensure NO PERSON below suspended load. Use tag line on CP Join when lifted/picked up
by crane.

 Pick up join #2 and set onto prepared/cut CP stump.


 Aligned join #2 to be able to be welded.
 Ensure all welding join procedures are fulfilled; ie: hi‐lo ovality, seams pipe on stump & next
join have sufficient separation (ie: 0.25x CP OD).

Figure 92 : Welding Fit‐Up Illustration

 Weld the CP joins. Wait for ±1.5 ‐ 2 hours for the welding to cool down.
 Perform welding inspection as per Total WI Procedure.
 If the inspection passed, prepare to pick up hammer for the next driving.

Welding MPI Welding UT

Figure 93 : Welding Inspection Illustration

 Pick up Hydraulic Hammer. Continue driving with proper setting of energy level as required
by formation strength.
 Stop driving when the join #2 is driven to ± 15‐25 cm Hammer Sleeve above top of Driving
Sleeve.
 Lay down hammer.

Subject

Summary
th
TN-AA185 drilling operation started on Dec 8 2014 with Hibiscus rig. After clean-out, the Conductor
Pipe (CP), which was previously driven by CST dept, was found to be at a very high inclination and
collapsed at the bottom of the CP shoe. Such CP condition prevented the drill string from passing
through the CP.
The slot was then abandoned and the planned reservoir targets were drilled from a new slot. Total lost
value due to the incident is approx. MUS$ 1.3
Investigation concluded that the CP was collapsed and deflected away due to metal debris dragged by
the CP while being driven.

th
Dec 8 2014 Rig Hibiscus arrived on TN-AA185 location. Spud well.

azimuth at 117.85 m MD. Plan direction at 120 m MD: 5° inclination and 215°
th
Dec 10 2014 azimuth.
RIH 12-1/4” Motor BHA and got held up at CP shoe (132.7 m MD). The CP is
collapsed at the bottom of CP shoe.

th
Dec 12 2014 Rig Hibiscus move out of TN-AA185 to TN-AA95.

Analysis
A problem is suspected to have occured during CP driving operation by CST department barge. This
problem then caused the CP to collapse.
CP driving record of TN-AA185 was compared to adjacent wells record, TN-AA184 and TN-AA186. No
anomalies are observed on previous record of TN-AA184 and TN-AA186.
Table 2 Driving record comparison

Hammer
Self-penetration
Well penetration Initial hammer energy
depth (m)
depth (m)
TN-AA184 & TN-AA186 5.5 14.75 3 blows @ 4 kilo-joules/25 cm
TN-AA185 3.75 13.75 6 blows @ 10 kilo-joules/25 cm
Note: Penetration record & blow count is available on appendix 1

From the table above, the initial energy required to start driving the CP from self & hammer penetration
is significantly higher on TN-AA185 compared to adjacent wells.

TN-AA185 also has a shallower self penetration (by 1.75 m) & hammer penetration depth (by 1 m)
compared to adjacent wells.

A site investigation is performed with the assistance from divers. The divers discovered several metal
debris around TN-AA185 slot location.

The following metal debris are discovered at 2 m area inside and outside TN-AA185 platform:
 Scaffolding pipe – 2” x 1.5 m
 Scaffolding pipe – 2” x 2.2 m
 Grating – 1.2 m x 20 cm
 H Beam – 20 cm x 10 cm
Note: Diving report and debris photo is available on appendix 2

The presence of these debris explains the abnormally high initial energy required to hammer the CP. A
foreign debris was accidentally dragged along as the CP was penetrating deeper into the formation.
Consequently, when the CP was hammered against solid and hard debris, the CP collapsed and
deflected dramatically (from planned 5° inclination to actual 23° inclination).

Based on the facts above, the cause of TN-AA185 CP collapse is the presence of metal debris at TN-
AA185 slot location.

Preventive Action and Way Forward


 If the CP Driving Operation is performed in the new location with no existing platform; debris survey
using vessel by ECP/STD/DMM shall be performed when condition permits prior to moving
construction barge to drive CP.
 Any dropped object overboard during any activity (Drilling, Completion, Well Intervention, CST
Operations) prior to CP Driving must be communicated to ECP/CST/OFF and WCI/WLC/TTH.
 During CP driving operation after alignment sleeve is rigged up, prior to stab CP Shoe to sea bed,
sounding using 1” diameter x 6 – 8 meters long stick (Debris probe) inside the driving sleeve to be
performed. The stick to be pushed at several points inside the driving sleeve. If in doubt where the
penetrations are significantly not uniform, the situation shall be reported to Balikpapan ECP/CST/OFF
and/or WCI/WLC/TTH. A further confirmation steps may be required.
Note: Debris Probe photo is available on appendix 3

 If in doubts of possible existing debris, diving operation to be performed ensuring the CP stabbing
location is clean from any debris.
 After CP Driving report received, immediate analysis to the report should be performed by comparing
similar CP Driving operation in the same platform. If the analysis showing significant different with
previous normal similar CP driving; moving the rig to location may be cancelled to prevent big cost
expended to the well.
 Proper lesson learnt sharing must be made with all personnel involved in CP Driving Operations in
order to maximize their sensibilities to drop object risks.
