This paper describes field pilots and laboratory model studies used to design a full-scale, steam-drive project in the Mount Posofield, California. Actual results are compared with predictions. Performance indicates that will equal model-prediction recovery efficiency, but at reduced oil-steam ratio. Introduction The Poso is located San Joaquin Valley approximately 14 miles north of Bakersfield, Calif. (Fig. 1). productive area constitutes some 2, 100 acres, Shell Oil Co. owning 97 percent...
Abstract This paper will address all of the planning and logistical issues involved with drilling first ultra deepwater wells off coast Malaysia. Murphy Sabah Oil recently contracted Diamond Offshore Ocean Baroness to drill in water depths ranging from 1300 m 2000 water. Since a moored rig was used for project long range engineering required moor world record mooring without any boats or contractors area experience. Well design strategy initial string conductor casing be placed at exceeding...
Abstract It has been demonstrated that Expandable Sand Screen (ESS) technologies can be implemented rapidly and effectively without the requirement of a dedicated completion brine well clean-up. This paper will discuss case history Kikeh #4 deepwater test, performed in Block K, offshore Sabah, Malaysia. The test was 4500 WD, from Diamond Offshore's fifth generation semi-submersible rig, "Ocean Rover". Due to poor flow performance on initial frac-packed completion, decision made fast track...
Abstract Three Single Well Tracer (SWT) tests for Connate Water Saturation (Swc) have been successfully conducted in the Keg River Sand at major Utikuma Lake oilfield, leading to significant reductions estimated Swc and increases reserves. Resistivity logs conventional core analysis yield erroneously high due thinly interbedded sands shales, severe wettability alteration restored core. SWT testing allows situ measurement of productive sand intervals only, investigating saturations within a 5...
