This paper is a detailed description of the first experience of an ERD wells horizontal section using ultra-low-viscosity drilling fluid as a drilling fluid implemented in the Russia land. This work has great value as an experience that allows to reevaluate the traditional views on the sole influence of drilling fluid parameters on the process of drilling wells. The thesis considers the key aspects and practices of improving the technical and economy values of drilling the multilateral ERD wells and FishBone wells in Western Siberia by applying an integrated approach based on three key factors: understanding the features of the rheology of drilling fluids; thorough analysis of the results of modeling wellbore washing and cleaning and comparing the calculated values with the actual values of the determined technological parameters in order to predict and control ECD; the collaborative work of the customer and the contractor, so-called "active supervising" methodology, aimed on making timely decisions for adjusting of the target requirements during the wells construction, "in situ" method, in order to achieve the made goals. The main conclusions have been made during the work: Effective and sufficient cleaning of annular space can be achieved with minimum values of drilling fluid rheology characteristics. Cuttings and marble bridging agent participate in the filter cake creation. The absence of marble bridging agent particles in the mud composition cannot be a reason of complications (absorption, sticking) when drilling low-permeability reservoirs. The concentration of the marble bridging agent should be determined, taking into account several factors: solids control equipment efficiency, formation permeability, density and drilling fluid composition. the recommended values for the parameters such as lubricant concentration and MBT, must be selected, firstly, based on comprehensive understanding of the idea of each parameter, and secondly, adequately assessing their significance under specific drilling conditions. Competent active supervising of drilling fluid has huge impact on the economy efficiency of well construction, whereas this approach can be beneficial for both the customer and the drilling fluid contractor. The implemented on the project approach allowed to save up to 60% for the cost of 1m3 of drilling fluid for horizontal section, as well as to reduce the time spent on the wells construction. The main result of the work: two multilateral wells were successfully drilled with the DDI of 7.2 and 6.55 and high risks of lost circulation. Wells construction was completed by running the liner to the target bottom without any signs of landings. However, the most important achievement is the emerging prospect of replicating the proposed approach to drilling ERD wells for deeper deposits development, that allows us to expect comparable technical and economy effects considering drilling conditions.

The geothermal energy is one of the most promising sources of electricity on the planet; it is available almost anywhere on the continents and resources are inexhaustible. The realization of these possibilities requires solving the problems of deep wells (6-10 km) construction, when the lower horizons are practically impermeable crystalline basement rocks. For effective use of the Earth's heat, bottomhole temperatures must be within 200-300°C. World experience of such deep wells construction is very limited, some examples are given in this work. Known schemes of geothermal energy application requires at least two wells construction - for cold fluid injection and superheated fluid production. The rock - circulating fluid heat exchange in the bottomhole requires drilling of inclined, horizontal, or multi-lateral boreholes and hydraulic fracturing application. Such technologies are widely used in the oil and gas fields, but not in crystalline rocks. The article presents an analysis of the prospects for the geothermal wells construction efficiency increasing by using modern directional drilling systems, drilling with casing, technologies for complications eliminating. The possibilities of using alternative hard rock drilling methods by enhancing the standard formation destruction with drill bits are discussed. These are hydraulic hammers, high-pressure abrasive and fluid jets, laser drilling. A fundamentally new plasma drilling technology is considered. The most serious limitation of alternative drilling prospects is the need of additional "supply lines" to the bottom: high-pressure fluid; electricity; a plasma forming agent, etc. In this regard, options are being considered for the development of continuous drill strings such as coiled tubing, umbilical, flexible composite systems like subsea pipelines. Some of technological solutions for deep geothermal wells construction, and implementation of petrothermal energy schemes for potential projects are proposed. The paper provides an idea of the geothermal well construction technologies, which can ensure the implementation of advanced geo-energy schemes.

The paper describes a methodology for assessing the impact of wax deposition in reservoir oil during cold water injection into heterogeneous carbonate reservoir D3-III of the Kharyaga field. The main goal is to determine the optimal amount of hot water that must be injected before switching to cold water without affecting the field development. The paper presents the results of laboratory studies to determine the thermophysical properties of oil, samples of net reservoir and non-reservoir rock, as well as the results of laboratory studies to determine the conditions and nature of wax deposition in oil when the temperature and pressure conditions change. Calculations were carried out to describe the physical model of oil displacement by water of various temperatures. A series of synthetic sector model runs was performed, which includes the average properties of the selected reservoir and the results of laboratory studies in order to determine the effect of cold water injection on the development performance.

The task of integrated planning, as one of the main tools to improve the operational efficiency of production activities of oil and gas production operators, is the most relevant. Due to the high intensity, today all operators emphasize the importance of automating the integrated planning process. An integrated plan means combining, ranking and possible combination, as well as timely updating the order of implementation of activities presented in separate functional plans, for which various services are responsible. At the same time, a functional plan is a group of activities united in its specificity. Examples of functional plans are well intervention (TR), well workover (KR), PP (routine maintenance), Research, OTM (organizational -technical measures), PPR (scheduled preventive work), VNS (commissioning of new wells). The goal of integrated planning is to execute the mining company's business plan in the most efficient way in terms of economic performance within the existing constraints. The constraints can be various aspects, such as the limited number of crews of the required specialization and special equipment for the activities, the need to move resources to the location of the activity taking into account the seasonality and types of transport, a strict sequence of operations within one activity, technological constraints associated with the inability to simultaneously conduct various activities at one cluster site, restrictions on the utilization of associated petroleum gas. Integrated planning distinguishes between planning horizons. As a rule, the horizon does not exceed one year and is designed to assess the feasibility of the company's business plan and justify capital and operating costs. Annual planning must take into account both targeted (named, assigned to a specific well or field site) and unaddressed (called "virtual") activities based on past year statistics. Monthly and 90-day plans are updated on a monthly basis and are more detailed and accurate than the annual plan, containing only targeted activities. Monthly planning clarifies the feasibility of the business plan in terms of production, budget and other criteria. In addition to the approved annual, monthly and 90-day plan, an operational (working) plan is formed, which is updated on a daily basis or upon request. As a rule, the operational plan is formed for a two-week planning horizon. The traditional integrated planning approach has its drawbacks and opportunities for improvement. The essence of the traditional approach of integrated planning is that different operational services, such as Geological Service, Well Intervention Service, Pipeline Maintenance Service, Chief Power Engineer, Chief Engineer, etc., annually and monthly submit a list of activities for inclusion in the annual, monthly (90-day) production program, after which the integrated planner combines all activities, combining them if possible, trying to achieve the targets as closely as possible, s
作为提高油气生产作业效率的主要工具之一,综合规划的任务是最相关的。由于高强度,今天所有的运营商都强调自动化综合规划过程的重要性。综合计划是指对各个部门负责的单独职能计划中所呈现的活动进行组合、排序和可能的组合,并及时更新活动的执行顺序。同时,功能计划是一组在其特殊性上统一起来的活动。功能计划的例子包括修井(TR)、修井(KR)、日常维护(PP)、研究、组织技术措施(OTM)、计划预防工作(PPR)、新井调试(VNS)。综合规划的目标是在现有限制条件下,以最有效的方式执行矿业公司的商业计划,实现经济效益。限制因素可以是多方面的,例如活动所需的专业人员和特殊设备的数量有限,需要在考虑到季节性和运输类型的情况下将资源转移到活动地点,在一项活动中有严格的作业顺序,由于无法在一个群集地点同时进行各种活动而产生的技术限制,对伴生气利用的限制。综合规划区分了规划的视野。一般来说,期限不超过一年,旨在评估公司商业计划的可行性,并证明资本和运营成本的合理性。年度计划必须考虑到目标(指定,分配到特定的井或油田)和未解决的(称为“虚拟”)活动,这些活动是基于过去一年的统计数据。月度计划和90天计划按月更新,比年度计划更详细和准确,只包含目标活动。月度计划从生产、预算和其他标准方面阐明商业计划的可行性。除了批准的年度、月度和90天计划外,还形成了一项运营(工作)计划,该计划每天或应要求更新。通常,业务计划是在两周的规划期内形成的。传统的综合规划方法有其缺点和改进的机会。传统综合规划方法的本质是,不同的作业服务,如地质服务、油井干预服务、管道维护服务、总动力工程师、总工程师等,每年和每月提交一份活动清单,纳入年度、月度(90天)生产计划,然后综合计划人员将所有活动结合起来,如果可能的话,将它们结合起来,尽可能接近目标。传统方法的主要缺点是形成一个综合计划的高强度,以及它的静态性质。事实上,批准的综合计划实际上不超过两天,因为油气田的生命通常是非常动态的——总是有计划外的活动,总是有工作人员的紧急情况,已经开始的工作人员的开始和结束日期的变化,等等。以上所有方面都表明,综合计划必须是动态的,必须不断更新(Repin et al., 2018)。本文提出的OIS UFAM集成调度解决方案为集成调度过程提供了广泛的自动化功能。

Geomechanical model construction is an essential part of field development processes planning. Building a correct pore pressure model is one of the key tasks within the process of geomechanical model construction. The traditional approach to pore pressure modeling in oil and gas industry is based on the empirical analytical models usage. This approach has a number of disadvantages, which often lead to the constructed pore pressure model to be incorrect. The authors highlight two most significant disadvantages of the traditional approach: 1) a priori discrepancy between the empirical model and fundamental physical laws; 2) the impossibility of selecting such a combination of parameters of the standard analytical model, for which the resulting pressure corresponds to the entire set of actual field data (pore pressure measurements). This paper proposes a methodology for assessing the pore pressure distribution across the field, based on the usage of neural network technology. This approach potentially eliminates both of the above disadvantages from the pore pressure model building.

This paper provides the results that were achieved and shares the drilling unique practices that were implemented to deliver the first complex bilateral extended reach drilling (ERD) well in Odoptu-more field (North Dome). Well design driven by geological objectives considered drilling 215.9mm main and pilot holes (PH). Well complexity was governed by the type of a profile having ERD ratio of 5.22 (main hole) / 4.60 (PH) and trajectory's 3D nature (turn in azimuth of 90 degrees) compared to previous wells in the project drilled mainly with 2D profiles. Apart from the problems connected with drilling and casing upper sections key challenges comprised kicking off in 215.9mm open hole at 5955m MD and 1512m TVD with rotary steerable system, setting cement plugs at shallow true vertical depth (TVD) at 89 degrees of inclination to abandon laterally drilled PH, delivering 168.3mm production liner to bottom with a risk of entering a lateral while running in hole. An effective collaboration between integrated engineering team and customer departments went far beyond ERD standard set of operations already existing in the project thus allowing to break its own records and to set new achievements due to integrated technological approach. The longest 444.5mm section (2975 m) was drilled in one run achieving the record daily drilling rate and rate of penetration (ROP). Cementing of 244.5mm floated liner resulted in the highest good cement bond integrity percentage ever achieved among other wells in project due to new ways of casing standoff and fluid rheology hierarchy modeling. For the first time in the project 215.9mm main horizontal hole in extreme reach ERD well has been drilled by kicking off in open hole from the pilot horizontal one with push-the-bit rotary steerable system without a kickoff plug with pilot hole being abandoned by setting cement plugs. Project-specific risk assessment conducted by team allowed successful deployment of 168.3mm liner into the main hole. Moreover, due to thorough engineering planning electrical submersible pump (ESP) was run without extending 244.5mm liner to surface by tie-back thus saving additional 7 days. Drilling first bilateral ERD well unlocked opportunities for the operator to reach, explore and develop different extended geological targets thus eliminating well construction process of additional wells on drilling upper sections.

The Kharyaginskoye oil field is located on the territory of the Nenets Autonomous District and belongs to the Timan-Pechora Basin oil and gas province. The main object of development is a Devonian age carbonate reservoir. The productive zones of the studied object are mainly confined to thin bed low-porosity reservoirs with a complex structure of void space. The high heterogeneity of deposits laterally and the presence of different levels of oil-water contact (OWC) in the marginal isolated zones necessitate a more accurate assessment of the oil-saturated effective thicknesses. The increase in the reliability of the interpretation was achieved by the joint analysis of borehole and seismic studies using Machine Learning methods. At the stage of configuring the facies model based on well logs and core data, a Multi-Resolution Graph-based Clustering MRGC was used, which provides effective integration of geological and geophysical information. The multi-dimensional dot-pattern recognition method based on k-Nearest neighbors algorithm (k-NN), and by combining various criteria, it allows solving the problem of non-linearity of the relationships between logging responses and the corresponding lithology. The algorithm of the democratic association of neural networks DNNA was used to propagate electrofacies in the inter-well space. The method optimizes the use of seismic data before summation and after summation together with well data through a controlled process that provides a calibrated and scaled distribution of facies. The most probable facies distribution can be used directly as a property in reservoir modeling or as a constraint for modeling. It is known that there is no direct connection between a certain type of wave pattern and the lithological composition of rocks, therefore, the analysis of changing reflection characteristics is performed in conjunction with geophysical data, such as well logging. In addition, a priori geological information about the work area is involved. An important condition for the effective application of facies analysis is the presence of representative core material and the availability of high-quality well information. At the first stage of the work, the lithotyping of carbonate deposits was performed according to the macro description of the core, based on the classification of limestones according to R. H. Dunham. Then, using the multidimensional statistical recognition algorithm MRGC, the relationships between the selected lithotypes and logging responses were obtained. As a result of the tuning, a cluster model was obtained that allows us to distinguish electrofacies characterized by an increased filtration and capacitance potential. At the second stage, the obtained electrofacies, considering the nature of saturation, were used to train cubes of seismic attributes and calculate the cubes of lithofacies and the probability of the existence of each lithofacies. The key point in the distribution was the use
Kharyaginskoye油田位于涅涅茨自治区境内,属于Timan-Pechora盆地油气省。主要开发对象为泥盆纪碳酸盐岩储层。研究对象的生产带主要局限于孔隙空间结构复杂的薄层低孔储层。由于储层横向非均质性强,且边缘隔离带存在不同程度的油水接触面(OWC),因此需要更准确地评估油饱和有效厚度。通过使用机器学习方法对井眼和地震研究进行联合分析,可以提高解释的可靠性。在基于测井和岩心数据的相模型配置阶段,采用了基于多分辨率图的聚类MRGC,实现了地质和地球物理信息的有效整合。基于k-最近邻算法(k-NN)的多维点模式识别方法,结合多种判据,解决了测井响应与岩性之间关系的非线性问题。采用神经网络DNNA民主关联算法在井间空间传播电相。该方法通过控制过程,优化了地震数据求和前和求和后以及井数据的使用,从而提供了经过校准和缩放的相分布。最可能的相分布可以直接用作储层建模的属性或作为建模的约束。众所周知,某种波型与岩石的岩性组成之间没有直接联系,因此,对反射特征变化的分析是结合地球物理资料(如测井)进行的。此外,还涉及到有关工作区域的先验地质信息。有效应用相分析的一个重要条件是具有代表性的岩心材料的存在和高质量井信息的可用性。在工作的第一阶段,根据岩心的宏观描述,以R. H. Dunham的灰岩分类为基础,对碳酸盐岩矿床进行了岩石分型。然后,利用多维统计识别算法MRGC,得到所选岩性与测井响应之间的关系。作为调整的结果,获得了一个簇模型,使我们能够区分以过滤和电容电位增加为特征的电相。第二阶段,考虑饱和性质,利用得到的电相对地震属性立方体进行训练,计算岩相立方体和各岩相存在的概率。分布的关键是利用在不同相带的井中获得的电相。因此,通过机器学习方法对所有可用的钻孔和地震信息进行联合分析,可以在地质和地球物理信息分析的基础上预测考虑饱和类型的岩相。通过对低渗透碳酸盐岩储层性质的分析,证明了该技术的有效性,在低渗透碳酸盐岩储层中,经典属性和反演在描述非均质饱和度模型时存在局限性。使用神经网络方法可以配置复杂的非线性依赖关系,这是经典方法无法实现的。在现场地球物理和地震解释领域,利用机器学习算法使用少量的多尺度地质和地球物理信息,可以提高解释的可靠性,并明确研究区域内储层性质改善的远景区域的位置,并在后续的井位过程中最大限度地降低地质风险。

The purpose of geomechanical monitoring at mineral deposits, including oil and gas, is to control the state of the rock mass, forecast possible risks and complications at all stages of the field's life: reservoir and caprock integrity failure, violation of the integrity of drilling and system of well completion, infrastructure facilities. The paper suggests approaches to the organization of a geomechanical monitoring system based on observations of displacements and deformations of the ground surface (or seafloor) during the development of reservoir and target interval. There are analytical and numerical approaches have been tested on simple models with pore pressure changes, considering the heterogeneity of elastic-strength properties.

The presented article is dedicated to creation and testing of probabilistic ensemble computational tool for operational forecasting of well production in short term (STF). The ensemble consisted of models based on such physical and mathematical tools as: the equation of non-stationary filtration, material balance, Darcy's law and machine learning models. After calculations by each model, their forecasts are combined into a single ensemble forecast. The hybrid approach is based on the Monte Carlo method on Markov chains as a separate probabilistic model using Bayes’ formula. In this case, statistical weights of each model (the degree of confidence in each model) is determined in the form of a probability distribution based on the reliability of previously performed forecasts. The test results presented in this article were obtained on the real field data. The obtained forecasts of individual models and the ensemble were compared to real data. Real data tool usage analysis showed that the proposed approach gives a small error in comparison with actual measurements. Efficiency of calculations allows to automatically adapt the model to the entire well production history (several hundred wells) within a few hours.
