Effective Slimhole Cementing in a Challenging Environment - A Gulf of Thailand Case History

Abstract: The successful development of a light weight slurry system for cementing long intervals at high temperatures in three dimensional multiple stacked gas zone wells, has been achieved in the Gulf of Thailand. The cementing system has been developed to successfully complete progressively more difficult wells, starting with conventional large bore wells and tubing plus packer completions, and later down-sizing into single monobore wells whereby the tubing is cemented in place. The problems associated with the down-… Show more

“…Hence, a properly engineered nano-based fluid can play an important role in producing a high quality cementation job with a direct impact to the short as well as long term productivity of a well. According to Gilmore (2001) the poor primary cementing due to improper cleaning of mudcake can lead to lost reserves, increased water rates and expensive remedial work and thus can cause a significant reduction in well productivity and the return on investment.…”

“…According to marginal oilfields development experience of some international oil corporations, slimhole drilling and monobore completion technique is an effective way for the development of offshore marginal oil field. For example, Unocal corporation put this technique into practice in Gulf of Tailand, and this greatly simplifies the well configuration [2] [3]; Malaysia's Petronas reduce the drilling and completion costs by using monobore completion in East Malaysia [4]. Other corporations (such as Chevron [5]) have piloted the similar technique too.…”
