Agenda Maturing Fields – A Historical Perspective Wireline in the Life of a Field Dealing with Mature Fields: A Remediation Planning Cycle Horizontal Wells – Brownfield of the future

Maturing Fields – A Historical Perspective Courtesy Baker Hughes/WTRG Economics Recent focus has been in Shale and Horizontal Fields Attention to Shales neglects production realities

Maturing Fields – A Historical Perspective Significant Wells Drilled in the year age range Most of these are possible candidates for remediation Many of these wells are sold over time to new owner/operators

Maturing Fields – A Historical Perspective Courtesy ZDNet/ International Energy Agency Production from Conventional Fields will remain significant This cannot be discounted Our primary discussion will be mature vertical wells

Wireline in the Life of a Field

Dealing with Mature Fields: A Remediation Cycle

Determining the Candidate Historical Production Economic Value Bypassed potential Fluids Produced Caustic / Corrosive? Issues Sanding, Asphaltene, Casing Collapse Legalities Lease or Mineral Right Issues?

Determine Well Condition Casing Integrity Logs Caliper Metal Thickness Cement Bond Logs Radial UltraSonic Mechanical Gauge Ring / CCL Gamma Ray (correlative) Pull/Set Plugs, etc. Other Downhole Camera Noise/Temperature Log Courtesy - Courtesy – Allied-Horizontal

Determining Well Condition- Sample Sample of Caliper Log Deformity not big enough to prevent logging tools Deformity WILL prevent Packer Deployment Plugs May Reveal structural weakness Courtesy Allied Horizontal Wireline

Evaluating Formation Evaluating Formation through Casing Resistivity and Density Not normally viable (some CH Res., but limited) Sonic Tools Dependent on Centralization and Acoustic Coupling Neutron NL vs. CNL Pulsed Neutron Courtesy Baker Atlas and PetroWiki (SPE)

Evaluating Formation - Sample “Stagefinder” is Courtesy Allied Horizontal Wireline Pulsed Neutron Typically the best option for formation Evaluation Can provide Neutron Porosity Sigma (to calculate Sw) Time Lapse NOTE: Knowledge of formation water important.

Design & Execute: Perforating Design and Systems Downhole Environment Geological attributes Type of Charge Configuration and Orientation Uphole Environment Operational Footprint Proximity to RF sources / RF safe needed Proximity to public “FocusShot” and “FAST” are Courtesy of Allied Horizontal Wireline

Design & Execute : Example ConventionalEngineered Result NOTE: A change in formation MAY REQUIRE a change in Perf Design!

Measuring Results Production Results Surface Results Production tests Downhole Results PLT’s or Fiber Optic Residual Issues Changes in Production (ex: Corrosive)
