Objectives
- Deliver optimum well and completion designs
- Support project economics modelling through time and cost estimation
- Various initial well planning scopes
- Support client concept select report creation
Method
- Performed detailed offset well review
- Performed detailed and complex trajectory modelling
- Completion design work performed in line with trajectory modelling
- Assessed viability of vertical, deviated and horizontal well design options
- Numerous iterations of time and cost modelling
- Collate all date into detailed report
Challenges
- Ormskirk reservoir is very shallow, +/- 1,200ft TVDSS
- Challenging well trajectories to meet objectives of high angle / horizontal reservoir penetration
- Variety of well design options to consider
- Presented optimum well and completion design options to meet client objectives
- Delivered multiple time and cost estimates to feed into project economics
- Identified optimum well trajectory options to meet horizontal well target
- Established casing design requirements
- Presented completion design options for each well profile
- Provided conceptual design report to support field development concept select report.
