AbstractOver the last decade, TOTAL E&P Qatar had taken every opportunity to enhance the performance of Al-Khalij field while mitigating operational associated risks by implementing the new technologies offered by the Oil and Gas industry.The recent technology implemented by TOTAL E&P Qatar, in October 2008, is the DuaLife Pod system. The aim of implementing this technology is to gain the following benefits:• Reduce operational costs by decreasing the number of wells workovers.• Reduce deferred production by having a redundant ESP in case the main ESP fails.• Well-protected ESP, increasing the run life of the well completions.• Prevent further degradation of damaged or corroded production casing. This paper will discuss the processes implemented from conception, design, preparation and procedures for the successful completion of this DuaLife system implemented recently in one of TOTAL E&P Qatar wells. Also the paper will highlight the best practices and lessons learnt from this initial implementation for future implementations.
