AbstractA novel chemical-consolidation method based foam amino resin system of sand control systems in the oilfield is reported. This sand control technique is more superior to the conventional method owing to its advantages such as the outstanding resistance and lower density as well as simple process preparation. The apparent density of the foam resin system ranges from 0.528 g/cm3 to 0.634 g/cm3 at room temperature. Moreover, the system has excellent foaming properties and excellent compatibility with the formation fluids. In addition, the foam amino resin sand consolidation system was optimized and investigated. Simultaneously, the sand-fixing performance of the foam resin system was comprehensively assessed. The optimized conditions are as follows: curing temperature, 60°C; curing time, 12 h; consolidated core compressive strength, 6.28 MPa. Furthermore, the consolidated core showed remarkable resistance to the formation fluids. In summary, the foam resin system effectively met the requirements of the sand control and the horizontal wells in the oilfield.

Abstract Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completions have been the primary completion type for production wells in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) field in Azerbaijan for 20 years. In recent years, it has been required to use well bore strengthening mud systems to allow drilling the more depleted parts of the field. This paper describes the major engineering effort that was undertaken to develop systems and techniques that would allow the successful installation of OHGP completions in this environment. OHGP completions have evolved over the last 3 decades, significantly increasing the window of suitable installation environments such that if a well could be drilled it could, in most cases, be completed as an OHGP if desired. Drilling fluids technology has also advanced to allow the drilling of highly depleted reservoirs with the development of well bore strengthening mud systems which use oversized solids in the mud system to prevent fracture propagation. This paper describes laboratory testing and development of well construction procedures to allow OHGPs to be successfully installed in wells drilled with well bore strengthening mud systems. Laboratory testing results showed that low levels of formation damage could be achieved in OHGPs using well bore strengthening mud systems that are comparable to those drilled with conventional mud systems. These drilling fluid formulations along with the rigorous mud conditioning and well clean-up practices that were developed were first implemented in mid-2019 and have now been used in 6 OHGP wells. All 6 wells showed that suitable levels of drilling mud cleanliness could be achieved with limited additional time added to the well construction process and operations and all of them have robust sand control reliability and technical limit skins. Historically it was thought that productive, reliable OHGP completions could not be delivered when using well bore strengthening mud systems due to the inability to effectively produce back filter cakes with large solids through the gravel pack and the ability to condition the mud system to allow sand screen deployment without plugging occurring. The engineering work and field results presented demonstrate that these hurdles can be overcome through appropriate fluid designs and well construction practices.

Abstract An oil producing swamp field, BX, is located in the coastal region of the western Niger Delta with an average water depth of 15 – 20 ft. The wells in the most recent development drilling campaign were designed as horizontal wells with critical well objective of meeting the target oil production rates with sand control. In order to achieve these goals, the sand control methodology deployed is the Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) pumped through Concentric Annular Pack Screen (CAPS) system. This completion methodology has similar comparisons to the AX field completions where 19 completions were successfully installed between 2016 and 2018. The lessons learnt from the AX campaign were implemented on the BX campaign and this contributed to the campaign's near-flawless completion execution evidenced by the world class operational excellence, very low Non-Productive Times (NPTs) best-in-class production performances with no sand production However, the following opportunities were identified and implemented during the BX campaign focused on either increasing operational efficiency or preventing post-completion productivity impairment:Elimination of slickline required for tubing test operations by incorporating a "RH" catcher sub into the completion designPerforming required analysis and implementing procedural change to ensure that the change from WBM to NAF does not compromise completion performance due to the presence of reactive shales intervals encountered in the lateralDeveloping and implementing an enhanced fluid loss protocol to address the fluid loss event in one of the BX well that prevented the execution of OHGP pumping operation in the well. The implementation of these opportunities contributed significantly to the continued consistent delivery of superior completions performance in the BX field. This paper aims to provide a background to these opportunities and highlights the steps and processes that were applied to ensure their flawless implementation.
