SPE Applied Technology Workshop: High Pressure/High Temperature

 

SPE APPLIED TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOP "High Pressure/High Temperature" 9 - 12 June 2013  |  Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang, Malaysia   REGISTER NOW Since the early days of drilling HPHT wells, the oil and gas industry has now evolved to a stage where exploration and appraisal wells are drilled by most operators. Although HPHT wells still pose a significant challenge to our industry, exploration and appraisal drilling has been facilitated by the maturation and subsequent application of technologies increasing their chance of success. The next step is to establish routine HPHT development well which at the current time are very limited in count. With the opportunity of in-depth discussions and sharing of proven as well as evolving technologies, this workshop aims to furnish the participants with knowledge and tools to enhance their ability to successfully plan, engineer and execute the drilling and completion of their HPHT wells. This workshop focuses on how technologies have come together and jointly contributed to improved safety and efficiency in drilling, evaluation and completions of these challenging wells. The next step, safe long term development and management of HPHT reservoirs and wells, requires further understanding of flow assurance and geomechanics. The workshop will promote robust HPHT well construction and operations through: Emphasis on systematic planning and development of technical competencies as well as organisational capability Addressing risk and uncertainties in a proactive manner Sharing current practices to deal with major HSE concerns (well control, well integrity) Managing HPHT interfaces with reservoir, petroleum, completion, drilling and facilities engineers How to manage HPHT wells once on production, what is different to exploration and appraisal? Examining full life cycle well design and operation considerations Understanding the role of geomechanics in life of well integrity Presenting case histories of drilling, completing and producing HPHT wells Raising awareness of current technology limits as well as needs for ultra-HPHT wells TRAINING COURSE Introduction to HPHT Completions 8 June 2013 By Miguel Rosato REGISTER NOW In conjunction with the Workshop, a one-day training course will be held on 8th June 2013 from 0900-1700 hours at the Eastern & Oriental Hotel, Penang, Malaysia. This one-day course introduces the unique aspects and issues surrounding HPHT Completions. At the end of this course, delegates should be able to demonstrate familiarity with an understanding of the following: HPHT Reservoirs and Properties   Main HPHT developments around the world What is different about HPHT Reservoir characterization for HPHT completions Reverse Joule Thomson effect HPHT completion challenges    HPHT Well Completion Design   Tubing stress analysis for HPHT wells Metallurgy selection for HPHT completions Temperature and special alloys modelling issues Elastomer selection Equipment for HPHT completions Temperature limitations for equipment   HPHT Well Construction   Completion fluids QAQC process for HPHT completion and service equipment Underbalanced vs. overbalanced HPHT and implications in the selection of each system   HPHT Field Production and Flow Assurance   Well testing and production issues of HPHT wells Hydrates and scales issues Conventional current HPHT designs installed in the field Cost management, why planning and QAQC are the key for successful completion within expected budgets *Attendees of SPE training courses earn 0.8 CEUs for one day of training.
