Slim-Hole Drilling and Completion Barriers. Final Report, July 1993-April 1995

摘要

An industry team consisting of Maurer Engineering Inc., BJ Services, Baker OilTools, Halliburton Energy Services, and Advanced Resources International investigated technical issues and barriers related to slim-hole techniques in the areas of drilling, logging, cementing, perforating, stimulation, and completion and workover tools. Producer and service company interviews and literature reviews were used as additional sources of information. An anlaysis of U.S. slim-completion activity and trends was performed by obtaining a customized database from Petroleum Information Corp. A comprehensive questionnaire was constructed and distributed to a targeted sample for analysis of industry perceptions regarding slim-hole barriers. A case study of a very active basin where slim completions are regularly utilized, the Denver-Julesberg Basin, was performed.
