Deep gas drilling in carbonate environment is very challenging due to elevated temperatures with pressures. Additionally, the presence of the shock and vibrations across the interbedded layers of limestone and dolomites. Over the years different drilling techniques are employed for improving the drilling performance. The analysis of the data showed that the wells where the shock and vibrations were lower the optimum performance was achieved and the section was drilled in one run compared to the wells where multiple runs were required because of shock and vibration. Further analysis showed that the Shocks are not only seen while drilling, but the level of shocks was high during non-drilling activity such as reaming during wiper trips, back reaming across tight spots and before reaming while connection. This paper will cover the techniques that were employed to minimize the S&V or at least reduce to the minimum acceptable level where the drilling performance can be achieved. Understanding the shock and vibration across different formations and sub layers within formation. Comparison of shock and vibration for different BHA's while drilling. Application of the stat of the art drilling dynamic simulator. Comparison of BHA's with standalone and motor power Rotary steerable system. Identifying and developing the strategy while crossing the interbedded layers. Feedback to the reliability team for improvement. Based on understanding the shock and Vibration, and lesson learned multiple wells are drilled where the number of BHA's used to drill the section are reduced and the ratio of drilling the section in one runs is increasing.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
