Under the terms of a farmout agreement a well to 4200 metres true vertical depth was required to test an offshore structure in the Indian Ocean 3.4 kilometres from the Cape Range landfall. Western Australia.Due to the structure being located in an offshore environmentally sensitive area and the proximity of the structure to the Ningaloo Reef, the decision was taken by the consortium to drill a directionally controlled wildcat well, Yardie East-1, from the nearest landfall point, in a designated National Park.With the co-operation of the regulatory authorities a drilling plan was approved which entailed a critical analysis and modifications to the drilling rig, Rig No. 15 contracted from Oil Drilling and Exploration Limited, to satisfy the loads associated with a directionally drilled well to a worst condition programmed measured depth of 5650 m.Utilising modern technology the wildcat well was drilled to the target at the top of the structure at 5110 m at a penetration angle of 50° and an azimuth of 308° in 142 days from spud.Earning conditions were satisfied with an eventual total drilled depth of 5593 m. Logging and an open hole drill stem test were conducted prior to abandoning the well 186 days after spud.It is believed that Yardie East-1 is the longest well, in terms of measured depth, drilled onshore or offshore Australia.

And Control

The wide use of oil drilling rig brings nominated economic profits for oil drilling industry. However, it will bring about great quantities of harmonic current to the grid, lowering the power quality and reliability of the power grid. Meanwhile, harmonic currents will have a deteriorated influence to surrounding electrical equipment and grid. This paper studies the distribution characteristics of the harmonic current in the oil industry and puts forward a control strategy aiming for improving stability and reliability of the power supply system. This paper also proposes an algorithm for detecting harmonic current based on time domain transformation and control strategy based on two cascade (voltage and current) control loop. Experiment and simulation results validate the proposed control strategy.
