Innovative Solutions for Oil and Gas Well Completions with DrillPlan by Schlumberger

Challenges in Well Construction Design and Operations

The complexity and challenges in well construction design and operations have significantly increased due to factors such as well trajectory complexity, depth, pressure, temperature, and cost. Particularly in unconventional shale wells with long horizontal laterals, liner drilling, extended reach wells, and both cemented and uncemented liners, the need for high-performance liner hanger systems is crucial. These systems must be capable of rotating to reach total depth, featuring robust setting mechanisms tolerant of higher solids content. Additionally, liner top packers with sealing elements that can withstand the run-in-hole process, circulating and cementing at higher rates to lift and mix the mud around the liner while controlling the equivalent circulating density (ECD) are essential. This ensures the prevention of approaching fracture gradient and damaging the formation. Furthermore, maintaining seal integrity during high-pressure fracturing operations in the case of some uncemented liner applications, and years of pressure and thermal cycling during production adds another layer of complexity.
