Post Doctoral(PhD) Technical Area Of Interest:
Best practices For Offshore Directional Drilling Operation.
Overview,
Technical consideration, the increasingly crowded offshore drilling environment and the trend towards optimizing production means great emphasis must be placed on avoiding collisions with offset wellbores in developed fields. Collision with a producing well can cause a loss of well control, resulting in a sgnificant impact on productive time and income from shut- in wells.
A study will be considered aimed to illustrates best practices for planning and drilling phases in developed fields to minimize these risks and to optimize production, with special consideration to the following:
1. Whipstock placement and orientation to simultaneously avoid collision risks and optimize directional drilling operations.
2.Reducing directional uncertainties by using gyro MWD and single/multishot gyro tools while drilling near offset wells.
3.Anticollision management using traveling cylinder plot and spider plot, etc.
