摘要

Highly pressurized intervals, coupled with high permeability, make the drilling of a 61/8" horizontal hole section particularly challenging in water injector wells, as mud losses are frequently encountered along with differential sticking events. The objective of workover operations in the field is to sidetrack the power water injector (PWI) from the existing well motherbore, converting the well to a dual lateral, which will maintain the reservoir pressure and enhance oil recovery from the oil-bearing formation. The variance in formation pressure distribution makes drilling with high mud density systems a challenge and increases the risk of encountering losses and differential sticking. To overcome the challenges mentioned, the application of managed pressure drilling (MPD) technology using the constant bottom-hole pressure (CBHP) method during the drilling of the 61/8" hole section enables use of a mud system that is statically below the formation pressure, while keeping the equivalent circulating density (ECD) slightly over the formation pressure and constant at static and dynamic conditions. This is achieved by applying surface back pressure (SBP) using an automated MPD control choke manifold. As the drilling is continued in the lateral, a dynamic formation pressure evaluation can be performed to assess the changing formation pressure and to adjust the drilling parameters. This article will summarize the results of using MPD, compare it to conventional drilling methods and highlight the lessons learned from the application of the MPD (CBHP variant) approach described to enhance drilling efficiency and to mitigate drilling hazards, such as losses and differential sticking. The analysis will further enhance the drilling practices of PWI wells.
