2. 2. 2 Drivers for Enhancing Oil Recovery through Re-entry Drilling • Are your wells
dead or producing at marginal rates ? • Is the gas & water disposal cost spiraling
? • Are there bypassed reserves in your reservoir ? • Can you determine where
these reserves are ? • Are your existing wells in re-usable condition ? • Are there
formations you wish to avoid ? • Drilling unit availability ?
3. 3. 3 Indonesian Oil Production • First oil – 1883, Telaga Tiga, N Sumatra • Cepu
refinery opened in 1890 • Pertamina formed in 1968 • Peak oil in 1995: 1,600,000
BOPD • Steady production decline • 2011 (est) : 903,000 BOPD • Dozens of
mature fields • Reserve estimate: up to 8 BBOIP
4. 4. Meeting Indonesian Oil Production Targets • The job is getting more difficult •
Production shortfall widened in 2011 • Production vs Consumption shortfall
widening Source: IEA, 2015
5. 5. 1. Field Screening - Economic evaluation - Residual producible reserve
volumes & location - Current well production - Condition of well & production
facilities - Existing seismic and well monitoring - Select a candidate field for more
detailed study 2. Assess Wells - Production logging data (availability, economic
viability) - Thru-casing logging - Casing condition logging - Modeling of scenario
per well - Define remedial action plan EOR Re-entry Drilling Candidate Selection
6. 6. 6 Geoglide Services for Re-entry Drilling • Directional drilling, MWD, LWD &
directional surveying services • Fishing & casing exiting services (with technical
partners) • Reservoir & geological consultation • Directional well planning & anti-
collision • Drilling engineering • Drilling optimization – Vibration management –
Downhole pressure management • Geo-mechanics & formation pressure
management • Geo-steering • Risk analysis & economics
7. 7. 7 • Leverage of existing production facilities & infrastructure • Risk relatively
low due to reservoir knowledge • Access bypassed & un-swept reserves • Extend
well life and cumulative production Increase recovery factor / life of mature field:
Drivers for Re-Entry Horizontal Wells • Exploit pre-existing well (well- head, slot,
casing) • Leverage off existing well information and history • Manage surface area
/ structure Utilize pre-existing wells to avoid the cost/risk of drilling through the
over-burden
8. 8. Three levels of engagement: EOR Options 1. No re-entry - Optimization of
production through surface production facilities adjustments / modifications 3. Re-
entry & re-drilling or sidetracking - Re-drill well beyond damaged or coned zone -
Sidetrack to access bypassed reserves - Apply benefits of horizontal completions
to fields drilled with old technology / techniques 2. Re-entry & re-completion -
Work-over, stimulation, re-completion
9. 9. EOR Re-entry Drilling Key Criteria • Economics – bypassed reserves are
marginal, so we need to keep the cost down ! – Reduce drilling unit footprint –
Reduce POB, support costs – Reduce equipment cost • Reduce risk –
Confidence of finding reserves (Reservoir & Geology) – Technical (right
technology with high repeatable success rate) – Minimize complexity – Planning
– more planning = lower execution cost / risk – Use highly experienced people –
Reduce HSE exposure & environmental impact
10. 10. EOR Re-entry Drilling Unit Selection • Primary considerations: Cost & Risk •
Options – Conventional J/U • Fairly expensive and often difficult to position due
sea-bed infrastructure – Light weight purpose designed platform rig • Ideal where
large campaign is firm – Hi-spec HWU • Ideal to prove concept or execute small
programme – CTDU • Higher cost & risk • Availability (also barge support
requirement ?)
11. 11. Delivery - Risk Reduction • Planning – Reservoir studies & assessment to
locate un-swept reserves – Ask “will a horizontal drain optimize recovery ?” –
Bottoms-up planning – design well around the production drain – Design
completion (hardware, fluid, longevity, accessibility) – Connect the drain to the
plumbing – i.e. existing host well • Optimize hole size for casing size & expected
P-rate • Directional profile – radius (i.e. optimize curve length to minimize over-
burden drilling but allow accurate well placement, lateral length & completio – Rig
availability • Minimal (cost-effective) size, foot-print
12. 12. Delivery - Risk Reduction • Planning continued – Knowledge management •
Offset well review – drilling performance • technology used • drilling problems
experienced and how solved – Conduct well planning & engineering • Formation
pressure regime • Geo-mechanical stability • Direction plan, torque, drag,
hydraulics – Develop scope of work, time-depth curve, spread cost, AFE • define
casing exit method, drill bits, FE programme, fluid, steerable BHA design,
completion design – Develop contingencies.
13. 13. Delivery • Preparation – Assign a highly experienced project team & field
crew – Communication – Develop & distribute well-defined Operations
Programme – Pre-spud meetings – Team building – Secure supply chain
(mobilization) – Contingency – Prepare well plans, – Finalized BHA design & bit
selection
14. 14. Delivery • Execution – Kill & secure well – Fish completion & set base plug –
Assess well condition – casing, cement integrity – Run Casing Caliper-CCL-CBL-
GR log – Precise depth matching – Squeeze cement if required – Run, orientate
& secure one-trip whipstock w/ milling BHA (or section mill) – Cut window –
Ensure window is clean & all junk removed POOH
15. 15. Delivery • Execution – Run drilling BHA • For SR wells a special curve BHA
will be run with a slide-only SR motor prior to running a conventional steerable
BHA for the lateral – Monitor torque, drag & hydraulics – Reduce drilling risk •
Light BHA to minimise differential sticking • PWD for hole cleaning and pressure
management • Tri-axial vibration to ensure LWD reliablity • Mechanical thruster to
assist slide steering and extend lateral reach – Ensure accurate well placement •
WPR resistivity for geosteering • EM MWD if UBD

20. 20. 20 EOR Re-Entry Drilling – Information Needed: • Desired radius (either
radius or DLS) and reason (less cost, trying to avoid a tricky formation, or water,
etc) • Hole size for curve • Hole size for lateral (generally the curve and lateral will
be the same) • Length of lateral required • Lithology across the curve (any water
bearing layers, unstable shales, etc) • Lithology of reservoir (e.g. clean sand,
carbonate, fractures, shale lenses, etc) • Nature of reservoir (any gas / water to
 be avoided) • Reservoir pressure • LWD requirements in curve (typically just GR,
but resistivity is available) • LWD requirements in lateral; any geosteering
capability needed • Downhole temperature
21. 21. 21 EOR Re-Entry Drilling – Information Needed: • Drilling fluid type; any
underbalanced drilling planned ? • Completion design • Any ESP requirements •
For a re-entry: Casing exit details (casing size(s), casing condition, cement
condition, window method preferred) • Anticipated rig capacity • Estimated AFE,
days / well, spread cost • Anticipated production / well • Number of wells planned
• Project start date, tender date, etc • Tender type – full IS, SRD package,
individual services, lump sum, $/m, $/day, incentives, penalties
22. 22. 22 CONCLUSION • EOR projects are economically marginal requiring very
cost effective, low risk solutions and technologically acceptable • Working with a
light weight rig or HWU can deliver with confidence ! THANK YOU
