Exploring 4D Seismic for Reservoir Management 4D seismic comprises multiple 3D seismic surveys conducted over time to track reservoir changes. This technology is vital for monitoring fluid movement, unraveling connectivity, and pinpointing compartmentalization within the reservoir. Such insights play a key role in refining new and infill drilling approaches, leading to improved reservoir performance and increased recovery rates. After:doi:10.1144/petgeo2016-037

The faster drilling made possible by simulfrac (or trimulfrac...) has boosted our recent economic evaluations. However, it might tempt operators to choose less-than-ideal completion designs. Opting for speed over customized designs can improve metrics like payout period but might not be great for the overall estimated oil recovery or NPV/section. It'll be interesting to see how this affects the capital efficiencies of big companies focused on the full cycle returns or recovery factors versus smaller ones more focused on half cycle metrics like payout period etc. https://lnkd.in/eW9hctWH

● Multilateral Wells Drilling Technology ○ Multilateral drilling wells are a technology that allows for the drilling of multiple wellbores from a single wellbore. This technology has been in use since the 1920s but gained widespread popularity in the late 1980s with the advancements in directional drilling. In this drilling manual, we will explore the terminologies, classification system, and junction levels associated with multilateral wells. ○ The terminologies used in multilateral drilling wells include laterals, wellbores, hole, level, casing, liner, production, multilaterals, joint, access, tubing, whipstock, pressure integrity, and more. These terms are essential to understand the various aspects of multilateral drilling. ○ There are several reasons for drilling multilateral wells, with the primary one being the return on investment (ROI) for the operator. Multilaterals are more expensive to drill, so the production rates must be higher for a longer period of time to make it financially viable. Multilateral wells are most effective in low to moderate-permeability reservoirs and can be used in compartmentalized or heterogeneous reservoirs to increase production. However, the economics of multilaterals depend on factors such as the complexity of the multilateral and the cost of individual vertical or horizontal wells. ○ The classification system for multilateral drilling wells is based on the type of junction used. The TAML (Technology Advancement of Multilateral drilling wells) categorizes multilaterals into six levels, with each level indicating an increase in complexity, cost, and associated risks. The different levels of junctions determine whether the main wellbore and laterals are cased or left open hole, which affects the reentry capabilities and production isolation. #multilateralwells #drilling #directionaldrilling #horizontalwells #oilandgas #reservoirs #production #petroleumengineer #oilfield

?? Introducing an Idea to Get Reservoir Information from Drilling Data! In this report, I present an idea for obtaining key reservoir information—such as trip gas volume, reservoir pressure, and mobility—based on real-time drilling data. Inspired by the principles of traditional formation tests like MDT and DST, this idea utilizes sensor data from sources like total gas, flow-out, and mud density to offer valuable insights into reservoir characteristics. This concept is intended as a starting point for professional discussion, with the potential to evolve into a practical approach for improving reservoir evaluation during drilling operations. ??
