... should be evaluated. This data will inform decisions on downhole pump-out rates, surface circulation rates, durations, volumes, the number of stations, and any additional circulation or wiper trips needed between stations. Track 1 displays the annular pressure, which reads approximately 3900 psi...

... limited ( Putra, 2021 ). Loss Circulation in Offset Exploration Wells Based on offset wells studies, the reservoir section has good to excellent properties. However, the number of exploration wells is limited: one (1) exploration well in Field M1 was drilled in 2011; four (4) exploration wells...

... Abstract There are two main hazards in surface hole section in Mutiara and Pamaguan fields, loss circulation and shallow gas. Blowout incident due to both hazards occurred in Pamaguan in 2012. While influx was moving, the conductor shoe was unable to withstand the differential pressure...

... by CaCO3 scale in the wellbore along the lateral part of the horizontal well. It is because during the process drilling horizontal well using a fluid loss additive in the form of CaCO3 to prevent total loss circulation. To eliminate the problem of plugging scale along the lateral section of the horizontal...

... enables a higher volume of gas or hydrocarbon to be pumped into wellbore compared to formation tester (FT) operation. During the DTT operation, the pumped formation fluids are mixed with mud that is pumped from surface through a circulation sub into the annulus, and the mixture of fluids...

... arise when multiple acid soaking and jetting failed to penetrate the HUD. CTU milling operation then had to be deployed. During the milling process another setback occurred when the circulation failed to be established. Nitrified fluid was first used to establish the circulation yet proved unsuccessful...

... and capped with an environmental cement plug, or more recently, via perforating the casing(s) and circulating out the annuli contents prior to setting the environmental cement plug. Gaining access to the annuli is achieved via tubing conveyed perforation (TCP) guns and the charges are designed to penetrate...

... Abstract Lost circulation is a major contributor to non-productive time (NPT). Any efforts to better understand the factors that lead to it and subsequently identify a suitable cure will translate to tremendous savings of time and money for operators. Conventional materials such as calcium...

... Before the cementing job begins, and to ensure there is good fluid mobility after running the casing or liner, i.e., under non-circulating, static conditions, the drilling fluid needs to be "conditioned". This process involves reducing the gel strength, yield point, and plastic viscosity...

... and allows an influx into the wellbore. Upon shutting in the well, BHP increases until reaches formation PP and then stabilizes. Using the driller’s method to circulate out the influx, BHP remains constant and equal to formation PP + APL throughout the circulating time. Taking this into consideration...

... circulation was achieved with 100%; returns at surface. Hence, the string was diagnosed to be differentially stuck. Multiple attempts were made with citric acid pills, glycol pills, and 20%; HCl pills to free the string but without success. After each pill was displaced in the hole, it was allowed to soak...

... NPTs such as loss of circulation and formation fracturing, which can be induced due to the high equivalent circulating density (ECD) caused by the presence of excess cuttings. Insufficient hole cleaning, if not tackled properly and in a timely manner, can lead to NPT incidents and consequently...

... Abstract Recently, artificial intelligence has gain popularity in the drilling industry since more wells are drilled in hostile environments. One of the most difficult problems have been encountering the drilling operation is the problem of lost circulation. The complexity of the lost...

... The Fairview Field contains formations which makes it very difficult to achieve satisfactory cementing results with conventional cement slurries and job procedures. Weak formations have been the primary problem, causing lost circulation and incomplete annular fill. In addition to this, large...

... for continued drilling. Typically, a pump circulates drilling mud through the top drive and down the pipe string to the drill bit during drilling operations. Continued pumping through the top drive forces the drilling mud at the bottom of the wellbore back up the wellbore on the outside of the pipe string...

...Introduction Drilling fluid losses and problems associated with lost circulation while drilling represent a major expense in drilling oil and gas wells, by industry estimates, more than 2 billion USD is spent to combat and mitigate this problem each year ( Arshad et al., 2015 ). Abstract...
