Zonal Isolation and Evaluation for Cemented Horizontal Liners

Acceso Cerrado

Abstract:

Summary This paper discusses the novel application of technology in the cementing and bond evaluation from the world-record breaking ERD (Extended Reach Drilling) wells in Wytch Farm, where horizontal liners of the order of 800m to 1300m at TvD of ca 1600m have been successfully cemented and perforated. Detailed analysis of the conditions by a multi-disciplinary team provided some practical procedures which enabled us to achieve our objectives of zonal isolation and cement bond evaluation successfully. Important aspects of zonal isolation, such as the use of spiral-blade centraisers, rotating the liner, and trials of the ECPs (External Casing Packer) are discussed in detail. Cement bond evaluation is also detailed, involving CT (Coiled Tubing) deployment and various bond logging tools, including ultrasonic tools. The CBL was found to be surprisingly reliable if used correctly.
