About this Workshop
Abstract
The discipline of wellbore positioning in the oil and gas industry was born as a way to manage corporate risk. While a portion of this risk is economic, the process risk of a wellbore collision and subsequent well-control event make wellbore positioning a safety-critical activity. Planning to ensure that unintended well collisions do not occur during drilling requires a sound management plan for wellbore positioning technologies and techniques.
The potential for well collisions, and the need for interceptions is rising due to:
- Drilling more complex-shaped wells in increasingly dense fields, often with less experienced crews
- Potentially catastrophic consequences from an uncontrolled well flow event that mandates competently intercepting a blowout well
- Legislature that requires well abandonment often necessitates subsequent subsurface interception to complete the work
Well proximity control and well interceptions are also being used to develop new architecture for improved reservoir drainage such as system assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). In addition, understanding the full cycle of well-positioning activities with improved policies, planning, and data management reduces uncertainty of downhole locations, leading to improved reserve evaluations.
In this workshop, the knowledge and skills available in the industry to manage both well proximity and well interception will be communicated. Attendees will share and learn about current best practice related to planning, policies, data management, practical application, and technology. Sessions will include presentations, discussions, breakout groups with industry experts, and practical exercises, including the opportunity to “drill” a relief well on a simulator.
