Abstract:

Development of Far North oil and gas field is growing in Russia especially in Yamal region. Cementing of top sections always been a challenge due to Permafrost formation and shallow gas. Conventional cementing systems cannot meet requirements to provide good zonal isolation due to low temperature. Special systems were developed to provide short thickening time and quick compressive strength development.

When designing a well, the main goal is to have the simplest possible completion, while being able to get the greatest amount of information and concomitantly to achieve the most encompassing well control. Simplicity and ability to get information and control are at first antagonistic drives, not to mention the duality of cost-benefit. One way to solve this paradigm is obviously to face the risk and increase the number of field cases.

Well Productivity Assurance

The Implementation of engineering methods which enable seamless transition of drilling to completions, workover and intervention operations incorporating best in class practices and technologies with impact to reduce OPEX, CAPEX savings, accelerate production, reduce well down time and increase well productivity.
