Utilizing 4 1/2. Monobores and rigless completions to develop marginal reserves

摘要

Marginal reserves in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) shelf can be developed using old completion technology in new ways. Tubing-less completions or monobores are one of those technologies. Several monobores have been performed in the GOM, but usually, they wree not the primary completion technique. Most were performed out of necessity, either because liners were stuck above the zone of interest or drill pipe was stuck across the interval.
