11.30 Roundtable Discussions

In the first half of this section, participants will be split into small groups to discuss their viewpoints on the topics below. Individual groups will exchange key takeaways from their discussions to ensure fruitful sharing of ideas and best practices. Topics include:

• Key aspects of well design and drilling issues
• Corrosion and selection of materials that can withstand HPHT conditions
• Geological and geoscience aspects of HPHT wells
• Pros and cons of different drilling fluids
• Effective well testing and type of stimulations to use in HPHT wells

13.30 GSPC Case Study: Examining Well Challenges For HPHT Drilling And Completion

• Understanding upper completion and production tubing design
• Proposing an overall completion philosophy that has a significant impact on subsequent equipment selection
• Preparing for casing seat selection and contingencies

Alan Brumbaugh
Chief Drilling Engineer
GSPC

14.10 Interactive Discussion: Working In HPHT Conditions And Achieving Optimal Efficiency

• Understanding the uniqueness of HPHT conditions and why conventional methods cannot be used
• Reducing risk and finding the most suitable equipment for your HPHT wells
• Handling HPHT well intervention - what you can expect and how to minimise surprises

15.10 Operational Considerations To Recognize In HPHT Well Evaluations

• Defining the suite of equipment and materials required
• Identifying special tools such as MWD, LWD, bits, motors, casing metallurgy, mud system (water, oil or synthetic oil-based), weighting materials, solids control, shale stabilization, mud cleaning system and special cement formulation
• Forming the right team and focusing on good service and material contracts that specifically focused on the needs of HPHT drilling and completions
• Delimiting the operational limits on drilling, logging & testing tools
• Determining any long lead items

R. J. Boocock Petroleum Engineer

15.50 Industry Learning Session:

In This Special Session, Mark Will Take You Through The Intrinsics Of Preparing Fluid Displacement Programmes. He Has More Than A Decade Worth Of Experience Supervising Blended Cesium And Potassium Formate Brine Drill-In And Completion Fluid Operations For HPHT Wells In The North Sea And Worldwide

Planning and managing the deployment of formate brines in HPHT drilling & completion operations

• Learning the challenges of HPHT drilling and completion
• Understanding the development of formate brines as the preferred HPHT drilling and completion fluids
• Appraising rig auditing and rig site preparations for using formate brines
• Sustaining programme planning and use of software tools (e.g. Densicalc and Presmod )
• Addressing formulation and field maintenance of formate fluids
• Driving brine loss minimization and management
• Optimising formate recovery & reconditioning
