Coordinated displacement technology leads to improved wellbore clean-up, reduced costs

摘要

DISPLACEMENT OF THE drilling or drill-in fluid to clear brine has become a very important process in the overall wellbore completions program leading to optimized hydrocarbon recovery Poor displacements can lead to less-than-planned production rates due to formation damage. Other consequences of an inefficient displacement include stuck packers, completion tool setting problems, increased rig and filtration time, increased disposal costs, and increased corrosion pitting. Advancements in fluid spacer chemistry, specific completion clean-up tools and advanced displacement software have all contributed to a more efficient displacement process, leading to lower operation costs and increased production.
