Outline Creating a Functional Wellbore Challenges Proposed Solution Case Studies of Real-Time Applications
3
Creating a Functional Wellbore SAFE OPERATING ENVELOPE
4
Creating a Functional Wellbore Pore Pressure Shear Failure Pressure Fracture Pressure Mud Weight Overburden Pressure FATAL KICK TH= tight hole Raise WM due to hole conditions
5
The Cost of Wellbore Problems Stuck Pipe Kick Lost Circulation Sloughing Shale Flows Wellbore Instability 41% of total NPT $8B+ Annually James K. Dodson Co. 1993-2002 Year NPT Analysis (Offshore, Jan 2004)

Anatomy of an Operations Decision VALUE TIME
10
Anatomy of an Operations Decision
11
Case-1 Environment DeepWater Well offshore Trinidad Significant uncertainty in subsurface environment High potential for unscheduled events related to uncertainty Need for real-time geomechanics modeling Operator domain expert is not offshore deployable resource Unplanned requirement ~ low budget & short fuse

WITSML Server v1.2 Sensor Sensor Aggregator Application PorePressure Expert & Application Sensor WITS Geomechanics Expert & Application BP Office POS Trinidad Constellation-1 DeepWater Trinidad BP Office Houston Texas WITSML Client v1.2 WITSML Server v1.2 WITSML INTRANET WITSML LOW BANDWIDTH LINK Case-1 Schematic
13
Case-1 Installation Baker Hughes Inteq installed WITSML v1.2 server in Port of Spain <30 Minutes in BP Houston Offices –Installed Drillworks ConnectML on client PC –IP Address, UN, Pass, Configuration for server connection –Configure Drillworks data links to ConnectML –Expert begins modeling using real-time data –Expert activates WITSML server to make interpretation available to rig.
14
Case-2 Environment DeepWater Gulf of Mexico Well Narrow PP FP envelope (high risk of influx or losses) High potential for pressure related unscheduled events Client requested expert synchronous surveillance from Houston offices Replace WITS with WITSML
