Conventional - platform Smart – platform or subsea Well Completion Options Conventional - platform Conventional - subsea Smart – platform or subsea
Target Reservoirs and Wells Conventional wells Smart wells Rashid-1 D1, D 1 two-zone selective Rashid-2 F2, F1, F 3 single-zone 2 three-zone selective D1, D, C 1 three-zone selective Rashid-3 1 or 2 single-zone OR 1 two-zone non-selective
Reservoir Simulation Results Uncontrolled commingling of multiple reservoirs is not recommended; control/selectivity is required to: Avoid potential cross-flow Shut-in water producing reservoirs Comparison Smart versus Conventional: Rashid-1: similar recoveries Rashid-2: 2 Smart wells on F-sands give similar recoveries as 3 conventional wells Rashid-3: Smart well recovers 16-23% more gas
Reliability and Risk Analysis Establish a life-cycle plan for each well and completion option (construction production abandonment) Consider each individual step and element in detail, and Perform a failure mode analysis - identify causes, effects, probabilities and consequences Calculate risk (RMA/FMECA) Calculate “risk-Dollars” Identify and rank critical issues
Well Cost, Risk and Exposure
Production and Construction Risk
Intervention and Lost Production Risk
SSD / ICV and Gravel Pack Risk
Conclusions Commingling requires flow control Risk and reliability analysis allows: Identification of dominant risks Quantitative comparisons between the options Smart wells offer attractive Phase II development opportunity (considering recovery and risked costs)
