extended reach wells

The authors investigate the utility of applying unconventional technology to low- or variably producing carbonate reservoirs to increase estimated ultimate recovery and decrease development-scale variability.

This study highlights the strategic implementation of coiled tubing to convey perforating guns in extended-reach wells, overcoming the lockup effect through the deployment of downhole tractors and real-time monitoring tools.

This paper provides an overview of multilateral operations on the North West Shelf of Australia.

This paper describes the technical challenges of drilling and running casing in superlaterals in the Vaca Muerta unconventional play.

This paper describes the engineering design and operational execution practices that supported setting of a new extended-reach world record in a mature carbonate field offshore Abu Dhabi.

The authors of this paper discuss deep closed-loop geothermal systems as an alternative to traditional enhanced geothermal systems for green energy production that is globally scalable and dispatchable.

The objective of this paper is to review selected completions to provide insights for adoption of multilateral technologies, including lessons learned, operational experience, and recommendations.

This paper describes preplanning, execution, and results of drilling extended-reach wells with a large-bore design of 12¼-in. as the main stepout section and deploying 9⅝-in. casing at a shallow true vertical depth of 4,200 ft.

To improve the productivity index of a well in a carbonate reservoir offshore Abu Dhabi, a multilateral acid-jetting technology was adopted as a more-effective alternative to typical drainage methods.

The authors describe the applicability of 110,000-psi yield-strength quench-and-tempered coiled tubing strings in high-pressure sour environments through implementation of a custom-fit coiled tubing integrity and risk-mitigation program.
