extended reach wells

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.

This paper describes a new concept for a reel mover used for coiled tubing deployment and operation.

This paper illustrates a novel methodology that enabled the safe application of coiled tubing abrasive perforation to increase production in a sour horizontal extended-reach oil producer.

The paper describes the experience of using a machine-learning model prepared by the ensemble method to prevent stuck-pipe events during well construction in extended-reach wells.

This paper describes a successful U-turn trajectory test in South Texas that has created new economic project opportunities for the company and increased optionality within challenged lease spaces across the field.
