Workshop Description

There are still gaps within the industry on how best to manage HPHT reservoirs in the long term, as well as have a robust understanding of well integrity, not just at the casing wall, but also within the subsurface. This workshop focuses on how technologies have come together and jointly contributed to improved safety and efficiency in drilling, evaluation and completion of these challenging wells. The next step; safe long-term development and management of HPHT reservoirs and wells, requires further understanding of flow assurance and geomechanics. With the opportunity of in-depth discussions and sharing of proven as well as evolving technologies, this workshop aims to furnish the participants with knowledge and tools to enhance their ability to successfully plan, engineer and execute the drilling and completion of their HPHT wells.

Who Should AttendThe workshop is meant for experienced individuals who will share their own case histories and experiences and will actively contribute to the discussions. We expect participation from asset managers, reservoir engineers, geosientists, experts and decision makers involved in drilling and completions, well control, OCTG, oilwell cement, MWD/LWD/E-Log, geomechanics and pore pressure prediction, well design verification, wellhead design, well testing and subsea systems.

1000–1100 hours Panel Session: HPHT—Tackling Challenges and Finding Solutions Panel Moderator: Alok Nandan, ONGC

This high level panel session will set scene for the two days of the workshop. Presentations will be conducted by specially invited eminent and key industry experts. It will focus on the future direction of HPHT field developments and new technologies. 1100–1130 hours Panel Discussion

1130–1300 hours Session 1: Subsurface Characterisation Session Chairs: Ram Narayan, BP; P. Raja, ONGC

HPHT reservoirs are increasingly becoming important in petroleum exploration in the search for additional reserves. The focus of this session is to highlight the challenges of subsurface characterisation and pore pressure frac gradient prediction in HPHT reservoirs starting with 3D basin modelling to elucidate the burial, thermal, pressure, hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation history and fluid composition in high pressure high temperature reservoir sequences. While traditional pore pressure prediction methods are sufficient for normally pressured reservoirs for well planning and design, their accuracy is not sufficient to allow wells to reach target depth safely and efficiently in HPHT environment. Recent technologies such as managed pressure drilling, real-time pore pressure measurement while drilling, look-ahead seismic while drilling, and real-time 3D modelling while drilling greatly enhance the success of drilling HPHT wells. These new technologies allow for the continual update and modification of drilling designs to incorporate the differences between actual drilling results and pre-drill estimates. Casing points, well trajectories and dynamic drilling parameters can all be modified quickly to respond to differences in pore pressure and frac gradient predictions.

1300–1400 hours Luncheon

1400–1530 hours Session 2: Well Design—Drilling Session Chairs: Debasis G. Sanyal, ONGC; Satish Thorwe, Shell

Reservoirs with pressures and temperatures deemed higher than what was considered typical in the past are now frequent targets for exploration and development. Challenges like drilling deeper than 6000m, sub-salt drilling, very narrow drilling windows, lost circulation, stuck pipe, and well control issues are even more probable when drilling HPHT wells. High formation temperature and pressure will affect the physical strength, chemical stability, sealing and electronic function of material used in these wells. This imposes very real challenges on much of the technology currently available to help develop HPHT reservoirs. Operators and service companies should realise the importance of well design to avert various complications during the life of the well. This session will provide a platform for transferring experience, expertise and knowledge about HPHT well design for reducing risks and increasing safety and efficiency.

1530–1600 hours Coffee Break and Poster Session

1600–1730 hours Session 3: Well Completion Design Session Chairs: Alok Nandan, ONGC, Chanpreet Sahni, Halliburton

Well design and it’s completion of a HPHT well is a challenge in many aspects. Be it metallurgy, sealing mechanism, cementation, casing policy, etc. The role of well design starts from the concept stage of the field and has a major role for working out the economy of the field. Well completion has to be such that it can sustain to the life cycle of the field within a safe environment. There will be more and more challenges such as the hydrocarbons being sour or CO2 bearing or a combination of both. Nowadays with the development

of multistage fracturing, well design will be more complex to take care of the suitable completion of the well. So this session will be more focused on the issues related to technology, safety, environment and above all economy of a HPHT field development.

0900–1030 hours Session 4: Stimulation and Testing Challenges Session Chairs: Reghu Padmanabhan, Baker Hughes; Riyaz Shaikh, Weatherford

Stimulation of HPHT reservoirs has always been the next frontier for the industry. When dealing with hydraulic fracturing fluids, temperature plays a big role on the stability of fluids. Similarly the major challenge for proppant selection in HPHT reservoirs is the high closure stresses the proppant is exposed to throughout the producing life of the well. Corrosion inhibition and rate of reaction has always been a challenge while selecting the acid stimulation fluids especially with exotic metallurgy used in completions systems. Traditional systems may not be applicable in HPHT reservoirs. With the decline of conventional reservoirs worldwide and the focus on exploitation of unconventional reservoirs such as HPHT reservoirs, the industry has reached a stage where new cutting edge fluid and proppants have been developed and are now commercially available to push the boundaries of what is traditionally perceived as acceptable limits. This session will give a glimpse of the technologies available today in the industry to effectively stimulate and hydraulically fracture HPHT reservoirs.

1030–1100 hours Coffee Break and Poster Session

1100–1230 hours Session 5: Development and Production from HPHT Fields Session Chairs: Prakash Kamble, GSPC; Ajay Ray, Geo Enpro

The industry experts ask where are my dollars coming from and the answer lies in the production of hydrocarbons! What drives explorers to challenging but high value HPHT resources? The desire to do something different and something huge. The objective of developing and making resources economic goes beyond the selection of processing, shipping, selling and earning. The industry today is sending properly understood and defined constraints for inventors. This domain is of high cost and risk for getting optimum, sustainable and consistent production. The focus of this session will be on identifying, exploring, optimising and mitigating the challenges for production and development. This session will cover production facility selection and design, flow assurance, development needs and opportunities, and the scope of change management for sustainable development. The session will discuss FAQs, standard practices/procedures for operators and service providers, sail through successful case studies, and learn from failed cases.

1230–1330 hours Luncheon

1330–1500 hours Session 6: HSE in HPHT Session Chair: Nahas Yahiya, Schlumberger

Major oil and gas companies around the globe today are focusing to understand the complexities of HSE in HPHT environments since they carry not only inherent drilling risks (uncertain pressures, complex lithology, indeterminate flow-back, and well control issues) but also deeper downhole complications (unplanned influxes or flows (i.e. kicks, H2S during operations, etc.). This session will address the critical importance of managing HPHT risks by industry experts and offer participants the opportunity to discuss issues during interactive sessions.
