Overview
Intro
Expandable casing statistics
Case Histories
What’s new
On January 10, 1901 the famous Lucas Gusher blew in. Oil sprayed over 100 feet above the derrick for nine days until the well was capped.
Conventional Well Design
Several to many casing strings in a “tapered” configuration
Each one decreases “diametric efficiency” by ~20%
What and Where is Solid Expandable Technology? (SET®)
Operating Envelope for Expandable Casing
Inclination: 100 o from vertical
Temperature: 400 o F
Mud Weight: 19.8# / gallon
Depth: 28,750 ft
Hydrostatic: 23,300 psi
Length: 6, 867 ft
Cumulative Installation Footage As of November 10, 2007 798 Installations 100,000 200,000 300,000 400,000 500,000 600,000 700,000 Nov-99 Mar-00 Aug-00 Jan-01 Jun-01 Nov-01 Apr-02 Sep-02 Feb-03 Jul-03 Dec-03 May-04 Oct-04 Mar-05 Aug-05 Dec-05 May-06 Oct-06 Mar-07 Length (in feet) 238,535 m 775,120 ft
775,000 ft equals … Traveling from Houston to Goliad
Opportunity vs. Need 9-5/8 " 7-5/8 " Decision Point Hole Size Preservation Hole Size Survival Opportunity Need
Economics Planned Expandable Key Offsets Measured Depth 3000 7000 11000 15000 19000 23000 27000 Tech Limit Reduced drilling time from 140 to 48 days Opportunity (planned) Need (contingency)
Case Histories HPHT Well – Deep Shelf GOM UD High Pressure – DW GOM
HP/HT Well in GOM – 20’ Water Depth
Trouble Zone
Major pressure regression - Losses
Solution
Installed 9-5/8" x 11-3/4" expandable
Value
Drilled and evaluated virgin formation with sufficient hole size
High Pressure Well in GOM – 3400’ Water Depth
Trouble Zone
Low Margin Drilling in a DW GOM well
Solution
Installed 7-5/8” x 9-3/8”
Preserve hole size to TD
Value
Drilled and evaluated new formations in a frontier environment
