A review on casing while drilling technology for oil and gas production with well control model and economical analysis

The extraction of petroleum fluids from sub-surface accumulations mandates the drilling of a well into the formation containing the accumulation.The drilling techniques have evolved over time to overcome several challenges while some of the issues still prevail with the currently used drilling practices like loss circulation,large tripping time to change bottom hole assembly,stuck pipe problems and low well bore stability,to name a few.These decrease the drilling efficiency and increase the Non-Productive Time(NPT)of this highly capitalintensive industry encouraging the Petroleum Industry to look for new technology.Casing while Drilling(CwD)is a technique of drilling which has been proven to alleviate many of the problems faced while drilling.In this method,drilling and casing of a well bore is carried out simultaneously,which improves the drilling efficiency by reducing the NPT.It has proven to be beneficial in controlling loss circulation and improving wellbore stability by‘Plastering’effect,high quality cement job and increased rig floor safety.It uses smaller rig and less fuel thereby reducing carbon footprint in the environment.This paper studies comprehensive well control and casing string design consideration.Economics encourages its application that has been discussed in the paper.A case study on the application of CwD in Malay basin for top hole drilling is presented.Finally,the paper briefly outlines the technical challenges that need attention to get better results from CwD.

Distribution rules of remaining oil by bottom water flooding and potential exploitation strategy in fault-controlled fractured-vuggy reservoirs

Based on the tectonic genesis and seismic data of fault-controlled fractured-vuggy reservoirs,the typical fractured-vuggy structure features were analyzed.A 3D large-scale visual physical model of“tree-like”fractured-vuggy structure was designed and made.The experiments of bottom-water flooding and multi-media synergistic oil displacement after bottom-water flooding were conducted with different production rates and different well-reservoir configuration relationships.The formation mechanisms and distribution rules of residual oil during bottom-water flooding under such fractured-vuggy structure were revealed.The producing characteristics of residual oil under different production methods after bottom-water flooding were discovered.The results show that the remaining oil in"tree-like"fractured-vuggy structure after bottom-water flooding mainly include the remaining oil of non-well controlled fault zones and the attic remaining oil at the top of well controlled fault zones.There exists obvious water channeling of bottom-water along the fault at high production rate,but intermittent drainage can effectively weaken the interference effect between fault zones to inhibit water channeling.Compared with the vertical well,horizontal well can reduce the difference in flow conductivity between fault zones and show better resistance to water channeling.The closer the horizontal well locates to the upper part of the“canopy”,the higher the oil recovery is at the bottom-water flooding stage.However,comprehensive consideration of the bottom-water flooding and subsequent gas injection development,the total recovery is higher when the horizontal well locates in the middle part of the“canopy”and drills through a large number of fault zones.After bottom water flooding,the effect of gas huff and puff is better than that of gas flooding,and the effect of gas huff and puff with large slug is better than that of small slug.Because such development method can effectively develop the remaining oil of non-well controlled fault zones and the attic remaining oil at the top of well controlled fault zones transversely connected with oil wells,thus greatly improving the oil recovery.

Safety Control Technology of Deepwater Perforated Gas Well Testing

Due to the high difficulties, high investment, and high risks in deepwater oil and gas well testing, major safety problems can occur easily. A key to prevent accidents is to conduct safety assessment and control on deepwater testing and to improve the testing technology. The deepwater of the South China Sea has some special environmental features: long distance from offshore, frequent typhoons in summer and constant monsoons in winter, and the presence of sandy slopes, sandy ridges and internal waves, coupled with the complex properties of oil and gas reserves which bring more challenges to deepwater well testing. In combination with deepwater well testing practice in the South China Sea, this paper analyzes the main potential risks in deepwater well testing and concludes that there are risks of failures of testing string, tools, and ground processes. Other risks are gas hydrate blockage, reservoir stratum sanding, and typhoon impacts. Specific precautions are also proposed in response to these risks in the paper.

Production Characteristics and the Control Factors of Surface Wells for Relieved Methane Drainage in the Huainan Mining Area

Based on the production data of a large number of surface drainage wells in the Huainan mining area,the present study shows that four types of typical production characteristics for relieved methane wells are recognized,of which the stable type for production and gas concentration is the most dominate,as determined by a comprehensive study on the volume and concentration of drained gases, as well as the stress changes of rocks influenced by mining.Some influence factors for the productive differences of the drainage wells were also been discussed.The results indicate that protective coal-seam mining has a significant effect on overlying strata,which promotes the development of pores and fractures of coal reservoirs for methane desorption and migration;however,the production and the stability of drainage wells are affected by deformation and damage of the overlying strata.The second distribution of strata stress is caused by mining engineering,and if the stress load is larger than the carrying capacity of the extraction well,the gas production would be influenced by the drainage well that has been damaged by rock movement.Furthermore,the case damage occurs first in the weak, lithologic interface by its special mechanical properties.The stability of drainage wells and the production status are also influenced by the different drilling techniques,uneven distribution of gas concentration,and combination of gob gas and methane from the protected layer.

A population-feedback control based algorithm for well trajectory optimization using proxy model

Wellbore instability is one of the concerns in the field of drilling engineering.This phenomenon is affected by several factors such as azimuth,inclination angle,in-situ stress,mud weight,and rock strength parameters.Among these factors,azimuth,inclination angle,and mud weight are controllable.The objective of this paper is to introduce a new procedure based on elastoplastic theory in wellbore stability solution to determine the optimum well trajectory and global minimum mud pressure required(GMMPR).Genetic algorithm(GA) was applied as a main optimization engine that employs proportional feedback controller to obtain the minimum mud pressure required(MMPR).The feedback function repeatedly calculated and updated the error between the simulated and set point of normalized yielded zone area(NYZA).To reduce computation expenses,an artificial neural network(ANN) was used as a proxy(surrogate model) to approximate the behavior of the actual wellbore model.The methodology was applied to a directional well in southwestern Iranian oilfield.The results demonstrated that the error between the predicted GMMPR and practical safe mud pressure was 4%for elastoplastic method,and 22%for conventional elastic solution.

Integrated risk management: a Petrobras application in offshore well construction safety to minimize critical emergency disconnections

In order to avoid mistakes and to save a great deal of time in analysis, an innovative methodology was developed that can analyze the well operations and rig characteristics involved to define the best emergency disconnect sequence （EDS） available. A solution was developed based on the characteristics of the rigs and blowout preventers （BOPs）, and six variables were considered that directly affect the choice of EDS. All possible combinations of 64 scenarios were analyzed, and the priority of choice of the EDS was defined empirically. This paper presents an approach to EDS risk management and examples of exposure time （time without riser safety margin and shear capability） for the same well, which can be lowered from 13% to 0.1%. The impact of this reduction is related to the ability of the BOP to cut some of the heavy casings, in addition to improved availability of EDS modes. This implementation opened up many possibilities for the performance of risk exposure analysis, enabling comparison of several BOP configurations of contracted rigs and selection of the best options. This innovative approach allowed a better management of the rig schedules, prioritizing safety aspects and making it possible to allocate the fleet in a systematic way.

Multiple fault diagnosis of down-hole conditions of sucker-rod pumping wells based on Freeman chain code and DCA

It is important to achieve continuous, stable and efficient pumping well operation in actual oilfield operation. Down-hole pumping well working conditions can be monitored in real-time and a reasonable production scheme can be designed when computer diagnosis is used. However, it is difficult to make a comprehensive analysis to supply efficient technical guidance for operation of the pumping well with multiple faults of down-hole conditions, which cannot be effectively dealt with by the common methods. To solve this problem, a method based on designated component analysis （DCA） is used in this paper. Freeman chain code is used to represent the down-hole dynamometer card whose important characteristics are extracted to construct a designated mode set. A control chart is used as a basis for fault detection. The upper and lower control lines on the control chart are determined from standard samples in normal working conditions. In an incompletely orthogonal mode, the designated mode set could be divided into some subsets in which the modes are completely orthogonal. The observed data is projected into each designated mode to realize fault detection according to the upper and lower control lines. The examples show that the proposed method can effectively diagnose multiple faults of down-hole conditions.
