Leading and New Technologies 2

Thursday, 6 March
Room 4
Technical Session

In the ever-evolving field of oil and gas, innovative technologies are continuously being developed to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. The following abstracts highlight groundbreaking advancements in well construction, surveillance, and subsea operations:

  1. Slot Recovery Based On 3D Dubins Curve Method: This paper discusses the use of the 3D Dubins curve method to optimize well trajectories for slot recovery, enhancing oil recovery by drilling sidetracks from existing wells to new reservoir locations. The method demonstrated computational efficiency and flexibility, showing promise for future use in autonomous steerable drilling systems.
  2. Successful Utilization Of Floatation Collar Tool To Reduce Drag Force And Enhance Running Completion In Unconventional Long Lateral Wells: This paper highlights the use of a floatation collar tool to address extreme drag and buckling risks in unconventional wells with long laterals. The tool significantly increased the probability of reaching target depth in challenging wells, reducing running time and costs.
  3. Implementation Of eVXT At Equinor’s Fram South Project: The Fram South project is the first Equinor initiative to use electrically controlled subsea X-mas trees (eVXT), aiming to enhance efficiency and safety in subsea operations. The paper details Equinor’s comprehensive approach and the benefits of AES systems, supported by observations from eVXT testing.
  4. A Study of Horizontal Fishbone Wells for a Tight Carbonate Reservoir of The Sadi Formation in Iraq. The NPV of two development plans for the Sadi reservoir was assessed using numerical reservoir simulation models to predict oil production rates and optimize key parameters. An analytical model was also used to compare outcomes. This is the first study comparing the economic feasibility of fishbone stimulation technology to multi-fractured horizontal wells in a real case for tight reservoir formation.
