    Extended Reach Drilling

    Uploaded by

    Jit Mukherhee
    This document discusses extended reach drilling (ERD). ERD involves horizontal drilling combined with directional drilling where the measured depth to true vertical depth ratio is greater than 2:1. The document provides the top ERD wells by measured depth and highlights challenges like hole cleaning, pressure control, and torque/drag. It then discusses the BP M-11 well in the UK North Sea which set the world record for longest measured depth at over 34,000 feet. Planning, geosteering, and innovative techniques allowed the well to be drilled safely and efficiently, unlocking a major gas resource. The document emphasizes that ERD can provide higher production rates, increased reserves, and optimized reservoir contact compared to conventional wells.

    Some key takeaways from the document are that extended reach drilling combines horizontal and directional drilling techniques and requires a depth ratio of measured depth to true vertical depth of 2:1 or more. It allows access to remote reservoirs.

    Challenges of extended reach drilling include hole cleaning and hydraulics, managing equivalent circulating density (ECD), wellbore stability, torque and drag, stuck pipe avoidance, and equipment protection.

    Methods used for hole cleaning in extended reach drilling include scooping cuttings on the low side of the hole at low RPM, recirculating cuttings to the high side of the hole, and establishing a 'conveyor belt' to transport cuttings to the surface. The Reelwell drilling method also aims to address hole cleaning and downhole pressure issues using a dual drillstring.

    drilling Achievments.

     ERD = Horizontal Drilling +Directional Drilling

    Condition of ERD:

    DEPTH RATIO= Measured Depth/TVD>= 2:1

    CHALLENGES OF ERD
    • HOLE CLEANING AND HYDRAULICS
    • ECD MANAGEMENT
    • WELLBORE STABILITY
    • TORQUE AND DRAG
    • STUCK PIPE AVOIDANCE
    • EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
    Hole Cleaning
    Scooping: Cuttings deposited on low side of hole are
    mechanically eroded at low RPM.
    RECIRCULATION: Once lifted cuttings are
    recirculated upto high side of hole and above the pipe.
    TRANSPORTATION: Regardless of the energy input
    exerted on cuttings during recirculation they travel
    only a certain distance and eventually settle down due
    to gravity. A “conveyor belt” has to be established to
    maintain cuttings transport to surface.
    Reelwell Drilling Method
    This method meticulously erradicates problems
    regarding Hole Cleaning and Downhole Pressure.

    This method is based on DualDrillString(DDS).

    DDS: Drillstring fluid flows to the bit via drillstring


    annulus and return flow to surface through an inner
    string.
    Achievments & Records
    The current World Record for the longest measured
    Depth ERD well is Chavyo Z-42 well(Exxon Neftegas).
    It features horizontal depth of 41,667ft and horizontal
    departure of 38,514ft.

    Wells with Depth ratio 12 has been reported from


    western Canada.
