An Alternative Solution of CBL-VDL, Sump Packer and GR-CCL Correlation Deployment in High Deviated Gravel Pack Well for Well Cost Optimization

Abstract

This paper describes the development and use of Impact Selector equipment with specifications developed specifically for the Handil Field environment with highly deviated wells. An alternative solution to convey Sump Packer, CBL-VDL, GR-CCL correlation in highly deviated Gravel Pack Well that was initially deployed using conventional drill pipe or costive tractor conveyor. The initial approach will consume massive rig time cost up to 1.5 days minimum to run equipment with drill pipe while tractor utilization is equivalent to one-day rig cost. The paper also discusses the planning considerations, wireline engineering assembly plan and simulation, and the implementation of lessons successful conveying of approximately 750 m of conveying logging, correlation tool and packer referential depth setting process for multizones sand control. An assembly of Impact Selector Roller Bogie selected to run in hole (RIH) the equipment assembly by wireline engineering simulations to ensure the success of the operations and guarantee the deployment process without any potential restriction. The simulation was done by Impact Selector Smart Planner simulation software in both scenarios with and without roller bogie as comparison. The results are excellent, this achievement opened a new envelope for high inclination gravel pack wells and it is concluded by saves up to at least USD 70,000 per well or 24 hours rig time (~USD 120,000) saving minimum. This shows that proper planning of conveyor utilization is very important for cost optimization strategy.
