Petroleum Business(E&P) Characterization of Gas Hydrates & Shallow Free Gas Objectives in Deepwater BSR Blanking zone Free Gas Technology Selection: Frontier project

Petroleum Business(E&P) Thick, shallow gas zone may be over pressured (Accurate Pore and Fracture Pressure Prediction critical). Mud weight window reduction due to shallow gas (Accurate Pore and Fracture Pressure Prediction critical). Possibility of Large Gas Influx while drilling below BSR (Use of Riser & BOP while drilling below BSR) Unconsolidated Top Hole & Hole Stability (Well bore stability modeling critical) Hydrate dissociation during drilling (Proper drilling fluid design and lower circulation rate) Poor Cement Bonds in hydrate zone (Proper cement slurry design) High Resolution & Enhanced Imaging of hydrate / free gas Facies Identification & Resource Estimation Target Identification & Pore Pressure Prediction Drilling Targets Release & Well Prognosis Hydrate / Free Gas Characterization Well Design Drilling Fluid Design Cement Slurry Design Well bore Stability Modeling Drilling Hazard Mitigation High Resolution 3D / DTAGS / SS-DR / Geo-Hazard survey Challenges Process Technology Selection :GOM Gas Hydrates JIP Conoco PhilipsReliance Industries Ltd.
