This paper is based on experience obtained during design of Payara Project, offshore Guyana, where 10" production and 16" water injection pipelines were found to be potentially susceptible to walking. Offshore pipelines that are subject to HT/HP conditions, riser tensions and seabed slopes can be susceptible to walking, which may jeopardize the integrity of connected subsea structures. Should the cumulated walking during the operating life of the pipeline exceed the maximum allowed displacement, an anchoring system could be required to mitigate the movement. However, predicting pipeline walking is a complex matter, depending on parameters often affected by significant uncertainty, such as pressure and temperature conditions, heating and cooldown cycles, soil pipe interaction, planned buckle evolution and route modifications. For this reason, a walking assessment performed during detail design can lead to uncertain results, and question arises as to the best timing to install walking mitigation structures (WMS). A Wait-and-See approach represents a good compromise, mediating between CAPEX and OPEX needs, and allowing a risk-based decision process based on pipeline behavior as monitored during planned surveys. However, the installation of WMS during operation may require ancillary structures to be installed on ‘day one’ that could nullify the strategic advantage given by the Wait-and-See, not to mention the mob/demob cost of the vessel used for installation. The Pipe Clamping Mattress (PCM), patented by Shell and commercialized by MMA Offshore, has been proposed as a convenient and effective way to anchor the pipeline, either at day one or during operation. The PCM comprises a two-winged mattress fabricated by pivoting two concrete blocks around a central hinge, and which is shaped to engage and clamp the pipe. A log mattress is then positioned to provide additional clamping force. The overall weight of PCM provides the clamping grip required to prevent pipeline slippage as well as the additional axial resistance needed to mitigate or arrest walking. An advanced FE Model for PCM performance study has been developed in ABAQUS based on the CEL methodology (Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian). In comparison to more conventional models, this technique models the seabed as a deformable Eulerian domain, in which PCM and pipeline can penetrate. Seabed settlement and soil displacement due to system motion can be fully calculated, estimating the evolution of axial resistance and the growth of berms at the PCM sides. The objective of this paper is to improve the understanding of pipeline/PCM interaction, in particular with respect to: Verifying the overall embedment of the pipeline/PCM system.Verifying and assessing the PCM restraining capacity against axial displacement.Assessing the minimum number of PCMs required to ensure walking prevention/arrest.
本文基于在圭亚那近海Payara项目设计过程中获得的经验,该项目发现10“生产管道和16”注水管道可能容易发生行走。受高温高压条件、立管张力和海底斜坡影响的海上管道可能容易行走,这可能会危及连接的海底结构的完整性。如果管道在使用寿命期间的累计移动超过最大允许位移,则需要锚固系统来减轻移动。然而,预测管道行走是一件复杂的事情,取决于经常受到重大不确定性影响的参数,例如压力和温度条件、加热和冷却循环、土壤管道相互作用、计划的屈曲演变和路线修改。因此,在详细设计期间进行的行走评估可能导致不确定的结果,并且出现了安装行走缓解结构(WMS)的最佳时机问题。观望方法是一种很好的折衷方法,可以在资本支出和运营支出需求之间进行协调,并允许在计划调查期间监测管道行为的基础上进行基于风险的决策过程。然而,在作业期间安装WMS可能需要在“第一天”就安装辅助结构,这可能会抵消“观望”所带来的战略优势,更不用说用于安装的船只的mob/demob成本。管道夹紧垫(PCM)是壳牌公司的专利,由MMA Offshore公司商业化,无论是在第一天还是在作业过程中,都是一种方便有效的管道锚定方法。PCM包括一个双翼垫,通过围绕中心铰链旋转两个混凝土块制成,其形状用于接合和夹紧管道。然后放置一个原木床垫以提供额外的夹紧力。PCM的总重量提供了防止管道滑移所需的夹紧力,以及减轻或阻止行走所需的额外轴向阻力。基于耦合欧拉-拉格朗日方法,在ABAQUS中建立了一种用于PCM性能研究的先进有限元模型。与更传统的模型相比,该技术将海床建模为一个可变形的欧拉域,PCM和管道可以穿透其中。可以充分计算体系运动引起的海底沉降和土体位移,估计PCM两侧轴向阻力的演变和护堤的生长。本文的目标是提高对管道/PCM交互的理解,特别是在以下方面:验证管道/PCM系统的整体嵌入。验证和评估PCM对轴向位移的抑制能力。评估确保步行预防/逮捕所需的最低pcm数量。

In the search for attractive hydrocarbon resources, geological targets are often encountered that are designated as high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT). To ensure an HPHT well meets or exceeds design life, a very thorough design review is needed for all aspects of the well architecture to ensure integrity is maintained throughout. Often overlooked, improper handling and installation through lack of knowledge, equipment selection, or technology have led to many well integrity issues in HPHT wells. The presence of certain corrosive downhole species, combined with the high temperatures and pressures of these wells can accelerate corrosion mechanisms on well bore tubulars at an early stage of the well's life. To address this challenge, corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) tubulars, along with temperature and pressure monitoring equipment, are often designed into the well architecture to ensure well integrity is preserved. These elements must be handled and installed carefully as impressions, marks, and cuts from make-up and handling operations can further accelerate corrosion failures on the tubular, such as stress corrosion cracking, while compromising the integrity of the downhole measuring equipment. To ensure these wells have the best chance of meeting target design life, special consideration should be given to the control line and tubing handling equipment. Specialized equipment, such as control line manipulation systems, offer extra protection to lines as they are manipulated for clamp installation, as well as increased safety and efficiency within the operations. Compensation systems prevent damage to threaded connections during stabbing and make-up while intelligent connection analyzed make-up systems use artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide real-time accurate, consistent, and reliable connection integrity assessments. And lastly, specialized reduced penetration or non-marking technologies can be utilized for make-up and handling of CRA tubulars to minimize or eliminate iron transfer and impressions imparted into the tubular body. By eliminating these, the potential for corrosion cracking due to stress concentrations and other risks of corrosion are also eliminated. One industry sponsored study examined the condition of 406 injection and production wells on the Norwegian shelf. Of these wells, 18% of the wells suffered from well integrity incidents, while nearly 40% of these incidents were due to the tubular string, emphasizing the need for specialized attention and equipment selections for HPHT wells.
在寻找有吸引力的油气资源的过程中,经常遇到被指定为高压、高温(HPHT)的地质目标。为了确保高温高压井达到或超过设计寿命,需要对井结构的各个方面进行非常彻底的设计审查,以确保始终保持完整性。在高温高压井中,由于缺乏知识、设备选择或技术,经常被忽视的不当操作和安装导致了许多井的完整性问题。某些腐蚀性物质的存在,再加上这些井的高温高压,会在井的早期阶段加速井筒管柱的腐蚀机制。为了应对这一挑战,通常会将耐腐蚀合金(CRA)管与温度和压力监测设备一起设计到井结构中,以确保井的完整性。这些元件必须小心处理和安装,因为组装和搬运过程中的印痕、痕迹和割伤会进一步加速管柱的腐蚀失效,如应力腐蚀开裂,同时影响井下测量设备的完整性。为了确保这些井有最大的机会达到目标设计寿命,应特别考虑控制线和油管处理设备。专用设备,如控制线操作系统,在操作夹钳安装时为管线提供额外的保护,并提高了作业中的安全性和效率。补偿系统可防止在刺入和补插过程中损坏螺纹连接,而智能连接分析补插系统使用人工智能和机器学习技术,提供实时、准确、一致和可靠的连接完整性评估。最后,专门的减少穿透或无标记技术可用于CRA管的组装和处理,以减少或消除铁转移和传递到管体内的压痕。通过消除这些,由于应力集中和其他腐蚀风险而导致腐蚀开裂的可能性也被消除了。一项由行业赞助的研究调查了挪威大陆架上406口注采井的状况。在这些井中,18%的井遭受了井完整性问题,而近40%的问题是由管柱引起的,这强调了对高温高压井的特殊关注和设备选择的必要性。

The Vito field is located in 4,100 feet of water producing from reservoirs nearly 30,000 feet below sea level. Vito was discovered in 2009 approximately 135 miles southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana. The project underwent major field development strategy change to remain competitive in 2015 oil price environment and price resiliency going forward. The Vito project was seen as a strategic fit to the operator's existing Mars Corridor. The original Vito development strategy was to build a clone of the mega-project of Appomattox to maximize Net Present Value and Ultimate Recovery. However, as the market changed vastly in 2015, the project team refreshed the design concept to focus on capital efficiency. This paper provides an overview of the overall revised Field Development Concept of Vito. Vito has best in class resource density when compared to other Gulf of Mexico fields, which allows for a compact field development of 8 subsea wells at a single drill center. This allowed the project to not include a drilling rig on the host platform and instead deploy a new generation Deepwater rig for drilling and completions. There is severe depletion drilling risk on Vito which led the project to drill and complete all 8 wells prior to first oil. To improve ultimate recovery with low capital efficiency in well bore gas lift was included in the design. In addition, the Mars Corridor export system was looked at and required debottlenecking on both the oil and gas side. This paper is part of a Vito Project series at OTC 2023, and the other papers are listed in the references.
Vito油田位于海拔4100英尺的水下,从海平面以下近3万英尺的水库中开采。维托于2009年在路易斯安那州新奥尔良西南约135英里处被发现。该项目经历了重大的油田开发战略调整,以在2015年的油价环境和未来的价格弹性中保持竞争力。Vito项目被视为运营商现有火星走廊的战略契合。Vito最初的开发策略是复制阿波马托克斯的大型项目,以最大化净现值和最终收益。然而,随着2015年市场的巨大变化,项目团队更新了设计理念,专注于资本效率。本文概述了修订后的Vito领域开发概念。与墨西哥湾其他油田相比,Vito油田具有同类最佳的资源密度,可以在一个钻井中心紧凑地开发8口海底井。这使得该项目无需在主平台上安装钻机,而是部署新一代深水钻机进行钻井和完井。由于Vito油田存在严重的钻井枯竭风险,导致该项目在第一次采油之前钻完所有8口井。为了提高井下气举的最终采收率,在低资本效率的情况下进行了设计。此外,研究人员还研究了火星走廊出口系统,并要求在石油和天然气方面消除瓶颈。本文是OTC 2023上Vito项目系列的一部分,其他论文在参考文献中列出。

The objective is to understand the impact of applying lost circulation materials preventatively to achieve strengthening of the wellbore when drilling fractured carbonate reservoirs. With a successful application, drilling with higher differential pressure can be enabled so that longer reservoir sections may be drilled, avoid splitting sections, and more remote parts of the reservoir may be reached. Having conducted extensive laboratory tests to evaluate the sealing strength, ease of mixing and circulation, resistance towards degradation, and the abrasivity (erosivity) of selected lost circulation materials, a novel loss prevention material (LPM) product was selected for application into multiple wells. A simple model was developed to predict the wellbore strengthening effect for a given concentration of the product in the fluid system. The product was thereafter applied preventatively for drilling slim-hole reservoir sections in deviated wells on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, where differential pressures were expected to be challenging. An LPM recovery system was used to maintain desired concentrations of LPM in the active system. Data were collected from the operations to provide a robust understanding of the ease of application and the functionality of the selected LPM material. Multiple fractured carbonate reservoirs were drilled under different pore-pressure conditions and with different drilling fluid densities. The results show that wells could be drilled without losses in conditions of around 2,400 psi overbalance, with product concentrations of less than half the maximum tested concentrations. Also, a field record of drilling a long horizontal reservoir section without tool failure was set, under conditions of unexpectedly high pore-pressures. The LPM recovery system proved to be successful with the novel materials, and very high rates of product retention was obtained, proving both the efficiency of the recovery plan and the material's resistance towards degradation. The field application highlights the potential for preventative treatment of the drilling fluid to achieve a strengthening of the wellbore and to integrate this with a simple method for estimating the fracture pressure of the formation at various levels of product concentrations. With this information in hand, both producer and injector wells can be planned for more optimal placements in the reservoir to enhance oil recovery.
目的是了解在钻井裂缝性碳酸盐岩储层时,预防性使用漏失材料以实现井筒加固的影响。如果应用成功,可以使用更高的压差进行钻井,这样可以钻更长的油藏段,避免分段,并且可以到达更偏远的油藏部分。在进行了大量的实验室测试,以评估所选漏失材料的密封强度、混合和循环的易用性、抗降解性和耐磨性(侵蚀性)后,选择了一种新型的防漏材料(LPM)产品,应用于多口井。建立了一个简单的模型来预测流体系统中给定浓度的产品对井筒的强化效果。此后,该产品被预防性地应用于挪威大陆架斜井的小井段钻井,该井的压差预计具有挑战性。LPM回收系统用于维持活性体系中所需的LPM浓度。从操作中收集数据,以提供对所选LPM材料的应用便利性和功能的可靠理解。在不同孔隙压力条件和不同钻井液密度条件下,钻探了多个裂缝性碳酸盐岩储层。结果表明,在约2400 psi的过平衡条件下,产品浓度不到最大测试浓度的一半,可以在没有损失的情况下钻井。此外,在异常高的孔隙压力条件下,还创造了长水平油藏段无工具失效的现场记录。新材料的LPM回收系统被证明是成功的,获得了非常高的产品保留率,证明了回收计划的效率和材料的抗降解性。现场应用强调了对钻井液进行预防性处理的潜力,以实现对井筒的强化,并将其与一种简单的方法相结合,用于估算不同产品浓度下地层的破裂压力。有了这些信息,生产井和注入井都可以在油藏中进行更优化的布置,以提高石油采收率。

Case Study: Effective and Economical Approach to Prevent Scale Formation Using Scale Inhibitor Squeeze into Reservoir 案例研究:将阻垢剂挤入储层有效经济地防止结垢

Producing wells in Field T, Malaysia offshore have faced significant production impairment due to deposition of calcite and barite scale in the tubing and reservoir. A proactive approach is strategized to inhibit the scale formation along the inner wall of production tubing and reservoir through a scale inhibitor squeeze (SISQ) treatment with a lifespan of 2 years. The main objective of this approach is to eliminate the need of frequent stimulation jobs to maintain the production. Several attempts of scale inhibitor pumping in the past had been applied in the operator's production fields with different scale inhibitor (SI) formulations. However, some of the SISQ jobs were unsuccessful meanwhile some did not meet the treatment life targeted. A Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) was conducted and the best practices and recommendations from the previous scale treatments were incorporated into this scale inhibitor squeeze treatment while the lessons learnt were implemented to prevent reoccurrence of unwanted events. In the past, most of the failed acidizing and SISQ jobs were caused by misdiagnosis of the root cause of production drop in wells, causing wrong selection of candidates right from the beginning. Another cause is the reaction between the chemical and existing scale in the tubing wall that resulted in the disintegration of the deposits, which subsequently block the flow of the well. There were also instances where coreflooding tests were not conducted due to unavailability of core samples. From the past failure contributors, the best practice proposed is to initiate any scale inhibition program by determining the correct root cause of production drop and to proceed with remedying the existing scale buildup. Examples of the solutions are through scale clean out, acidizing or workover before implementing a prevention solution such as SISQ. During the chemical selection stage, scale inhibitors should be selected based on a series of lab tests to study the performance of scale inhibitors, potential of damage formation, scale inhibitor retention core flood analysis, scale inhibitor thermal stability and fluids compatibility. Both wells B15 and D04 SS on which the SISQ jobs were conducted after acidizing job, have until now sustained their production. The MIC is well above 5 ppm target although approaching the end of 2-year treatment life. The Multifinger Imaging Tool (MIT) run downhole after one and a half years also indicated insignificant scale buildup on tubing wall. Permanent downhole gauge flowing pressure is also stable indicating no severe skin buildup. The produced water ions data, however, is insufficient to provide a view on the upward or downward trend of the scaling ions.

由于方解石和重晶石垢沉积在油管和储层中,马来西亚海上油田T的生产井面临着严重的生产损害。采用一种主动的方法,通过阻垢剂挤压(SISQ)处理来抑制沿生产油管内壁和油藏形成的结垢,其使用寿命为2年。这种方法的主要目的是消除频繁的增产作业来维持产量的需要。在过去的几次尝试中,在作业者的生产现场使用了不同的阻垢剂(SI)配方。然而,一些SISQ工作不成功,一些没有达到治疗寿命目标。进行了根本原因失效分析(RCFA),并将之前结垢处理的最佳实践和建议纳入到此次阻垢剂挤压处理中,同时实施了经验教训,以防止不良事件的再次发生。在过去,大多数酸化和SISQ作业的失败都是由于对油井产量下降的根本原因的误诊,导致从一开始就错误地选择了候选产品。另一个原因是化学物质与油管壁上现有的结垢发生反应,导致沉积物崩解,从而阻塞油井的流动。也有由于无法获得岩心样品而没有进行岩心注水测试的情况。从过去的失败因素来看,建议的最佳做法是通过确定产量下降的正确根本原因来启动任何阻垢计划,并继续补救现有的结垢。解决方案的例子是在实施SISQ等预防方案之前,先进行规模清洗、酸化或修井。在化学选择阶段,应根据一系列实验室测试来选择阻垢剂,研究阻垢剂的性能、形成损害的可能性、阻垢剂的保留、岩心水分析、阻垢剂的热稳定性和流体相容性。在酸化作业后进行SISQ作业的B15井和D04 SS井到目前为止都保持了生产。尽管接近2年治疗寿命的终点,但MIC仍远高于5ppm目标。多指成像工具(MIT)在井下运行一年半后,也显示油管壁上没有明显的结垢。永久的井下压力表流动压力也很稳定,表明没有严重的表皮堆积。然而,采出水离子数据不足以提供结垢离子上升或下降趋势的观点。在今后的重复实验中,应增加采出水离子的采样频率。

A proactive approach is strategized to inhibit the scale formation along the inner wall of production tubing and reservoir through a scale inhibitor squeeze (SISQ) treatment with a lifespan of 2 years. The main objective of this approach is to eliminate the need of frequent stimulation jobs to maintain the production.\u0000 Several attempts of scale inhibitor pumping in the past had been applied in the operator's production fields with different scale inhibitor (SI) formulations. However, some of the SISQ jobs were unsuccessful meanwhile some did not meet the treatment life targeted. A Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA) was conducted and the best practices and recommendations from the previous scale treatments were incorporated into this scale inhibitor squeeze treatment while the lessons learnt were implemented to prevent reoccurrence of unwanted events.\u0000 In the past, most of the failed acidizing and SISQ jobs were caused by misdiagnosis of the root cause of production drop in wells, causing wrong selection of candidates right from the beginning. Another cause is the reaction between the chemical and existing scale in the tubing wall that resulted in the disintegration of the deposits, which subsequently block the flow of the well. There were also instances where coreflooding tests were not conducted due to unavailability of core samples. From the past failure contributors, the best practice proposed is to initiate any scale inhibition program by determining the correct root cause of production drop and to proceed with remedying the existing scale buildup. Examples of the solutions are through scale clean out, acidizing or workover before implementing a prevention solution such as SISQ. During the chemical selection stage, scale inhibitors should be selected based on a series of lab tests to study the performance of scale inhibitors, potential of damage formation, scale inhibitor retention core flood analysis, scale inhibitor thermal stability and fluids compatibility.\u0000 Both wells B15 and D04 SS on which the SISQ jobs were conducted after acidizing job, have until now sustained their production. The MIC is well above 5 ppm target although approaching the end of 2-year treatment life. The Multifinger Imaging Tool (MIT) run downhole after one and a half years also indicated insignificant scale buildup on tubing wall. Permanent downhole gauge flowing pressure is also stable indicating no severe skin buildup. The produced water ions data, however, is insufficient to provide a view on the upward or downward trend of the scaling ions. In future replications, produced water ions sampling frequency should be increased.","PeriodicalId":196855,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, May 02, 2023","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132441658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objectives of this paper are to highlight the following: The complexities of managing and maintaining a fleet of aging offshore infrastructure in Cook Inlet, Alaska, using conventional and unconventional methods. The continued search for innovative solutions and refining current processes to extend the life of these facilities. Once the facilities have reached the end of their producing life, retrofit for other potential useful opportunities such as capitalizing on the renewable resource possibilities Cook Inlet possesses. Cook Inlet, Alaska is the state's main industrial water way and home to 15 offshore production platforms owned and operated by Hilcorp Alaska. Operating in the Cook Inlet is extremely complex and difficult because of its unique environment. Many of those 15 platforms were installed in the 1960's and originally thought to have short life expectancy. Over 60 years later, due to regular inspections and repairs guided by API 2 SIM, most of the facilities are still producing. Many typical forms of inspections and repairs cannot be conducted in Cook Inlet. Operators, inspectors, contractors, and divers must get creative to overcome many hurdles to achieve the tasks necessary for operation and structural integrity. When platforms go through the P&A process, the threat of environmental hydrocarbon pollution is removed. Hilcorp is currently looking into renewable resource opportunities for these structures to further achieve its goal of extending the useful opportunities of these facilities, given their robust infrastructure. This paper details the continuing challenges and constant search for new technologies. The hope is to educate the industry on the specific resources and technology that is needed in Cook Inlet and sharing the unconventional methods that have been developed over the years.

The northern Gulf of Mexico basin contains geopressured zones ideal for geothermal energy production, still to be explored. These systems are defined by primarily Eocene to Miocene sands that are confined by shale beds, which facilitates the formation of anomalously high pressures and temperatures. The overpressure in these zones results in an increased geothermal gradient, which makes geopressured zones of interest for geothermal exploration. Resources are commonly found at 3 to 6 km depth and reservoir fluid temperatures can range from 90 to 200°C. There has been a substantial amount of work done to understand these geopressured reservoirs on the Gulf Coast for geothermal potential. Many of these geopressured zones extend and exist offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. The knowledge and technical success of wells completed in these geopressured zones onshore can be transferred to understand how to produce a high pressure high temperature offshore well for geothermal power production. This paper will provide a review of previous work on geopressured geothermal zones in the Gulf Coast, the challenges with these systems, how these were overcome, and the knowledge transfer of those findings for offshore geothermal opportunities in high pressure high temperature wells.
墨西哥湾盆地北部包含地热能生产的理想地压区,但仍有待探索。这些系统主要由始新世至中新世的砂岩定义,这些砂岩被页岩层限制,这有利于异常高压和高温的形成。这些带的超压导致地温梯度增大,这使得高压带成为地热勘探的热点。资源通常在3至6公里深度发现,储层流体温度可在90至200°C之间。人们已经做了大量的工作来了解墨西哥湾沿岸的这些高压储层的地热潜力。许多这样的高压带延伸并存在于墨西哥湾近海。在这些陆上高压力区域完成的井的知识和技术成功可以转移到了解如何生产高压高温海上地热发电井。本文将回顾墨西哥湾沿岸高压地热带的前期工作,这些系统面临的挑战,如何克服这些挑战,以及这些发现对海上高压高温井地热机会的知识转移。

An offshore geotechnical site investigation campaign was completed for a large wind farm development project along the US Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) offshore New Jersey, a frontier location with few published data on soil characterization. Field exploration and a comprehensive onshore geotechnical laboratory testing program have been performed to understand the site-specific soil behavior. This paper describes the geotechnical properties of the fine-grained cohesive sediments encountered at the study site interpreted based on a consistent framework leveraging the sitewide soil data. Discussions of sample quality, soil stress history, soil compressibility and permeability, peak and critical state shear strength, strength anisotropy, and shearing rate effect for the Atlantic OCS fine-grained cohesive soils are presented from oedometer consolidation, permeability, direct simple shear, ring shear, and K0-consolidated triaxial compression and extension tests along with other conventional index and property tests. Furthermore, the Stress History and Normalized Soil Engineering Properties (SHANSEP) parameters, namely S and m, for the cohesive soils, are developed based on the specific monotonic constant volume direct simple shear (CVDSS) tests. The undrained shear strength Su profiles within the specific geotechnical cohesive soil unit developed from the SHANSEP and SP-SPW methods (Quiros, 2000) is compared to the site-specific PCPT data and laboratory undrained shear strength measurements. Comparisons of the discussed engineering properties of the Atlantic OCS fine-grained soils with other published databases for soils of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), Offshore Trinidad, and Offshore Mozambique also are included. This paper is in a collaborative series that demonstrates the value of an integrated geoscience approach considering regulatory requirements and project design essentials. It provides a comprehensive overview of the engineering characteristics of the Atlantic OCS fine-grained soils and can assist engineers with the assignation of rate-dependant undrained shear strength parameters developed specifically for wind farm foundation design with applicability in a regional setting.

Optimizing Horizontal Well Placement in Turbidite Sands with the Use of New Reservoir Mapping-While-Drilling Systems: A Case Study from Offshore Brazil 利用新型随钻储层测绘系统优化浊积砂岩水平井布置:以巴西近海为例

The Frade field, located in Campos Basin, offshore Brazil, is currently being developed using the latest advancements in reservoir mapping-while-drilling (RMWD) systems to aid horizontal well placement and enhance reservoir characterization. The technologies implemented include the high-definition (HD-RMWD), and the three-dimensional (3D-RMWD) systems, which convert ultra-deep electromagnetic measurements into a map of the resistivity profile around the borehole. The HD-RMWD provides multilayer detection using a 1D deterministic parametric inversion engine that provides a detailed 2D resistivity map along the well trajectory, resulting in enhanced capabilities for geosteering and reservoir characterization. This system was implemented in the horizontal wells drilled in Frade since 2022. For landing, an actual vertical detection of around 20 m TVD has helped to set casing in the desired target, identifying the presence of shallower layers—that could result in a poor landing—when present. Within the reservoir, the radial depth of detection achieved with a two-receiver configuration was on the order of 30 m TVD, enough to map top and base of sandstone geobodies while identifying the occurrence and dipping of multiple thin beds. The 3D-RMWD extends the application of this type of technology to the most complex reservoir settings and enables azimuthal geosteering. A set of new measurements—the full 360° electromagnetic tensor—is acquired and transmitted in real time using a new data compression algorithm, and then converted into 3D resistivity volumes derived from a cloud-based 2D transverse inversion technique. Results from the use of the 3D-RMWD technology in Frade—first case in Brazil's offshore operation—showed the 3D mapping capability of different geobodies in a complex geological environment. It also showed how reservoir properties were changing transversally along the well trajectory. A previous-generation RMWD system was used in offshore Brazil for 13 years, and this paper presents the experience gained from using the latest developments. The HD-RMWD system represents a significant advance by providing a finer resistivity map around the borehole, while the 3D-RMWD technology opens a whole new area of application, especially for complex reservoir characterization and provides means for azimuthal geosteering, which is currently an avoided practice.
trade油田位于巴西海上Campos盆地,目前正在使用最新的随钻储层测绘(RMWD)系统进行开发,以帮助水平井定位并增强储层特征。实施的技术包括高清(HD-RMWD)和三维(3D-RMWD)系统,它们将超深电磁测量结果转换为井眼周围的电阻率剖面图。HD-RMWD采用一维确定性参数反演引擎进行多层探测,该引擎可沿井眼轨迹提供详细的二维电阻率图,从而增强了地质导向和储层表征的能力。自2022年以来,该系统已在trade地区的水平井中实施。在着陆时,实际的垂直探测深度约为20m TVD,这有助于将套管定位到目标位置,识别出较浅地层的存在,而较浅地层可能导致着陆效果不佳。在储层内,双接收器配置的径向探测深度约为30 m TVD,足以绘制砂岩地质体的顶部和底部,同时识别多个薄层的产状和倾斜。3D-RMWD将这种技术的应用范围扩展到最复杂的油藏环境,并实现了方位地质导向。利用一种新的数据压缩算法获取并实时传输一组新的测量数据——完整的360°电磁张量,然后通过基于云的二维横向反演技术转换成三维电阻率体积。3D- rmwd技术在巴西海上作业中的应用结果表明,在复杂的地质环境中,该技术具有对不同地质体进行三维测绘的能力。它还显示了储层性质是如何沿着井眼轨迹横向变化的。上一代RMWD系统在巴西海上已经使用了13年,本文介绍了使用最新开发成果所获得的经验。HD-RMWD系统通过提供井眼周围更精细的电阻率图代表了一项重大进步,而3D-RMWD技术开辟了一个全新的应用领域,特别是对于复杂的储层表征,并提供了方位角地质导向的手段,这是目前避免的做法。

Reduction of Well Construction Time with Innovative Design: Tot-3p (True One Trip - 3 Phases) 利用创新设计减少建井时间:Tot-3p(真正的一趟井-3阶段)
Pub Date : 2023-04-24 DOI: 10.4043/32642-ms

Drilling wells with TOT-3P design consists of optimizing (reducing) the steps of well construction. Drilling takes place in 3 sections (3P=3 phases) and the completion, sand containment screen plus production column (upper and lower), is performed in a single trip (TOT = True One Trip). The construction of wells in 3 sections is only possible with the deepening of the casing of the second section of the well and the capacity of this casing to have the function of surface and production. Some challenges stand out this project, such as the gain of inclination, cleaning and stability of the open well in a riserless phase, in addition to the need to return cement to the mud line for structural purposes and guarantee the solidarity set of barriers. Because drilling has only three sections, the shoe surface/production casing should be deepened in such a way that it is competent to withstand the production loadings, the pressure influence of injector wells and compose the solidary set of barriers (SSB) for abandonment, as well as enable the installation of components of the tubing at the required depth, such as the gas lift mandrel (GLM). To analyze the feasibility of the TOT-3P project, some points are studied: Analysis of flow potential of the shallow sands crossed in section II;Surface/production casing shoe racing analysis for well construction and for well productive life;Depths of tubing modulates (PDG, chemical injection mandrel and gas lift mandrel) to meet production monitoring, combat fouling and well production. Thus, integrated strategies for Drilling, Fluids and Cementation were defined in order to obtain the objectives mentioned through a bore caliper with diameter that allows a good cementation to be performed and obtained a satisfactory result in the cementation evaluation profiles, leading to the return of cement to mud line and composition of 2 solidary sets of barriers in annular above the reservoir.
采用TOT-3P设计钻井包括优化(减少)井的施工步骤。钻井分3段进行(3P=3个阶段),完井、防砂筛管和生产柱(上、下)在一次起下钻中完成(TOT = True One trip)。三段井的建设只有在第二段井的套管加深和该套管具有地面和生产功能的能力的情况下才有可能。该项目还面临着一些挑战,比如斜度的增加、无隔水管阶段裸井的清洁和稳定性,以及为了结构目的需要将水泥回流到泥浆线,并保证屏障的完整性。由于钻井只有三个部分,因此鞋面/生产套管的深度应该能够承受生产载荷、注入井的压力影响,并形成一套完整的弃井屏障(SSB),同时能够在所需的深度安装油管部件,如气举心轴(GLM)。为了分析TOT-3P项目的可行性,从以下几个方面进行了研究:第二段浅层砂层流过的流动潜力分析;井底/生产套管鞋对油井建设和生产寿命的影响分析;油管深度调节(PDG、化学注入心轴和气举心轴)以满足生产监测、抗结垢和油井生产的需要。因此,为了实现上述目标,制定了钻井、流体和固井的综合策略,通过直径较大的井径,可以进行良好的固井作业,并在固井评估剖面中获得满意的结果,导致水泥回流到泥浆线,并在油藏上方的环空中形成两套完整的屏障。
