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.

The development scheme is the result of extensive studies to mature an optimized project, taking into account the limited size of the fields, the poor petrophysical characteristics and the reservoirs uncertainties. These fields are located within a circle of 3500 meter (11 500 ft) of radius. The target zone is 60 meters (200 ft) thick and 3700 meter (12000 ft) deep. This paper presents the project reasoning process, the treatment preparation (including a specific care on the fluid formulation and its interaction with the resin coated proppant) and the fracture evaluation.
