Abstract This paper discusses the Case study of Field A in offshore Sarawak, Malaysia which focus on re-thinking development based on statistical analysis of the fields. Conventionally, well design is driven by subsurface requirement by targeting the high-reserve sand and well is designed to meet subsurface objectives. However, the conventional way may not be efficient to develop matured field environment due to the high CAPEX and the inconsistencies among well design especially in current volatile oil price period. The objective of this fit-for-purpose approach which is called "Cone Concept Statistical Approach" is to steer away from the conventional way of targeting only sweet spots whilst leaving the remaining potential resources undeveloped. Based on the statistical analysis and subsurface fields pattern, the "Cone Concept Statistical Approach" in which standardizing well design and trajectories was developed to extract the whole fields’ reserve at maximum. Well design boundaries were introduced to ensure this approach can be replicated throughout the field. Not only this study covers drilling perspective, completion perspective was also taken into consideration by exploring a cheaper and fit for purpose sand control method, considering it is a matured field with relatively short remaining field life. The Well Cost Catalogue for this field-specific approach was also developed which contains different types of design and completion, in order to holistically evaluate sand control method and identify the best option for the project moving forward. This "Cone Concept Statistical Approach" aims to enable operator to drill simple wells within the same allocated budget in which poses low-to-no risk in the design and execution phase. This promotes a learning curve to improve operation & HSE, and ultimately gets positive project economics. Since this simple approach can be implemented early on even during the pre-FEL stage, the FDP team & host authority can come together to jointly discuss the targets/platform ranking and segregate them into various phases. Hence, the number of platforms or drilling centers, and its location also can be optimized early on with this concept, and again, translating into further reduction in overall project cost. This paper will help other operators and host authority to understand better on how a specific development concept on statistical approach can result and turn the matured-challenging fields into more economically attractive projects – low overall development cost and maximizing the recovery.

Control Application

Motor control application, especially for medium to high power implementation, will benefit the most with the compactness and robustness of an Integrated Power Module of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor also known as IGBT IPM. Nevertheless, implementation motor control with a general purpose micro-processor without any advance timer functionality with IGBT IPM will be challenged by the Dead-Time switching requirement in its power switching implementation. Further, a combined sinusoidal and trapezoidal drive of a motor control is also believed will provides a better control performance in term of lower torque ripple and higher motor top speed. This paper proposed a low-cost alternative to address the requirement by implementing a software based dead time functionality using the low cost 16-bit micro controller board with capability of serving up sinusoidal drive as well as trapezoidal drive for motor control application.

The use of cow urine can be considered an agricultural practice of low cost for farmers. Nevertheless, its efficiency on crop needs research information. The present research aimed to evaluate the effect of cow urine on the growth and yield of 'Regina 2000' lettuce, in an experiment carried out from January 13, 2006 to March 22, 2006. The experiment was set up with 12 treatments, in a split-plot design and four completely randomized blocks. The soil and leaf applications were installed in the plot. In the split-plot, cow urine was applied at different concentrations (0.00; 0.25; 0.50; 0.75; 1.00 and 1.25 %). The plot presented four rows with 1.75 m each, in 0.25 x 0.25 m spacing. The six central plants of the two central rows formed the sampled split-plot. At harvest, the following variables were evaluated: fresh (FLM) and dry (DLM) leaf mass, fresh (FSM) and dry (DSM) stem mass, stem length (SL), fresh (FRM) and dry (DRM) root mass, fresh (FHM) and dry (DHM) head mass and commercial yield (CY). The increase in cow urine concentrations increased the performance of all lettuce characteristics, except DRM, which presented reduction, and DSM and FRM, which were not affected. The highest yield was obtained with the concentration of 1.25% (17.00 t ha-1) applied to leaves and with 1.01% (14.92 t ha-1), applied to soil, corresponding, respectively to increases of 28.1% and 47.3%, in comparison to the control. Application to leaves, in comparison to application to soil, resulted in greater FLM (0.50 and 1.25%), SL (0.50; 0.75 and 1.25%), FSM and FRM (0.5%), FHM and CY (0.50 and 1.25%), but lower DSM and FRM (1.25%) and DRM (1.0 and 1.25%). The application of cow urine solution at 1.25% to leaves or 1.0% to soil is recommended for lettuce crops.

Abstract Peciko Field currently produces gas from multilayer sand-prone shallow reservoirs. Therefore, it needs sand control method to unlock these marginal reservoirs through low-cost intervention. Hanging screen has been reviewed as an alternative solution to minimize sand control cost while maintaining its robustness to maximize the recovery. This paper will present and evaluate the hanging screen installation and performance from subsurface to surface elements in Peciko field. Hanging screen implementation in Peciko will be evaluated in terms of ease of installation to its performance during production phase. Peciko wells are equipped with real-time monitoring system including Acoustic Sand Detector. Therefore, sand problems could be easily identified. Any indication of screen failure will be confirmed by checking the surface equipment like chokes and intrusive probes. Further intervention to retrieve the screen and perform visual check at surface can be executed to extend the verification. Filter size, placement method, clean-up, and sand sieve result will be gathered to identify the root cause and determine the best method to apply hanging screen as reliable sand control method. Nine installations in 2019 conclude that screen plugging, liquid loading, and combination of both are main issues in production phase. With three plugging cases from well Fx and E2x, it was found that excessive drawdown pressure triggers high gas velocity in perforation tunnel and causing excessive sand production that plugged the screen. These cases also prove that self-unloading by choke movement can lead to plugging if the drawdown pressure and gas rate are not monitored carefully. Commingle production in Ax becomes an issue in lifting performance when reservoir pressure declines and liquid was produced from several reservoirs. Limiting drawdown pressure gives smaller gas rate to lift the liquid and make the well died from liquid loading easily. Massive sand production in well E2x and E2y cause an increase in Top of Sediment (TOS) and lead to inaccessible screen even with multiple bailing attempts. A series of screen design, choke configuration, proper clean-up and continuous monitoring are critical steps to be performed prior and after screen installation to maintain production lifetime. With average stakes of 0.2 Bcf per well, hanging screen has proven to produce 67% of the well reserves in shallow reservoirs. This value creation led to the conclusion that hanging screen is an economically-feasible-sand control method to be implemented in Peciko.
