SYSTEM/COMPONENTS: Dual Drill String for reverse circulation Dual Float Valve Piston Pi Top Drive Adapter Liner expander Control system (pressure and flow)
SYSTEM BENEFITS
CLICK__ ____ _____ ____ ______ ____ TO EDIT MASTER TEXT STYLES
MPD: Improved pressure- and well control Horizontal drilling: effective hole cleaning Hydraulic WOB allows for Extreme Reach Drilling (ERD) The technology provides access to previously inaccessible reservoirs
Reduced costs; less active mud volume required, faster operations Using existing facilities to reach previously inaccesible reservoirs Less active mud volume required Downhole isolation for improved HSE ERD making reservoirs acessible from land
APPLICATIONS
CLICK__ ____ _____ ____ ______ ____ TO EDIT MASTER TEXT STYLES
The method is especially suitable for: 1. 2. 3. 4. Mature fields with depleted reservoirs (MPD) Horizontal drilling (hole cleaning) Extended Reach Wells (ERD) Deep water fields Focus areas for 2009!

THE REELWELL MPD METHOD | PRESENTATION SPE OCT. 08 | OVE HOLE [ NEXT SLIDE]
CONVENTIONAL DRILLING
Problems zones are depleted areas, where pressure is reduced reduced.
MPD
Facilitating access to depleted areas Light fluid steep gradient Reduced casing program
KEY FEATURES
1. 2. 3. Controlled Equivalent Circulation Density (ECD) No pressure at surface whilst drilling or during connection Hole cleaning
2) START UP - REELWELL: internal circulation before downhole (dual float) valve opens
3) DRILLING - REELWELL: the friction pressure loss in return line balance the pore pressure
SAFER OPERATIONS
Piston and Dual Float Valve provides downhole isolation Unique p q pressure and volume control
ENVIRONMENTAL FRIENDLY
Less active drilling fluid and chemicals required Low pump rate L t
