Drilling optimization benchmark set for deep HP/HT wells in Oman

摘要

PDO reduced drilling time by 25 days, saving the company $1.25 million per well. The primary target of a recent deep gas exploration campaign in the K-field of northern Oman (Figure 1) is a tight Cambrian sandstone at 4,500 m to 4,800 m (14,850 ft to 15,840 ft) true vertical depth subsea, where Petroleum Development of Oman (PDO) has encountered a growing number of drilling challenges.
