DRILLING WITHOUT DAMAGE

mud and formation pressures

underbalanced pore fracture overbalanced

Overbalanced Drilling
Pressure exerted by the drilling fluid is greater than the formation pressure, preventing the flow of the well.

Underbalanced Drilling
Pressure exerted by the drilling fluid is intentionally kept below the reservoir pore pressure, allowing the flow of the well.

DRILLING WITHOUT DAMAGE

Injection of mud

WHY UNDERBALANCED DRILLING?

Nitrogen injection
Annular injection Biphasic fluid

Minimize formation damage

Drilling depleted reservoirs

Other benefits:
Increases potential up to 100%

Injection point

Increases the rate of penetration

Early production Monitoring of the formation fluids Reduce operational problems: piping paste, loss of circulation Reduction of bits

CONTINUOUS TUBING DRILLING

Drilling Slim Hole". Underbalanced drilling.

Non-stop connections Data transmission (MWD) internal cable Greater safety

Changes rapidly in bits and strings.

Better cleaning and hole stability. Lower costs of drilling.

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Wells section extended
CHARACTERISTICS

Wells with displacements greater than 10 kilometres Decrease in infrastructure costs. Holes large sections allow to reach distant targets. Drilling hard to reach targets.

Allochthonous block Population complexity Navigation channels Environmental restrictions

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Geosteering
CHARACTERISTICS

Sensors
Reservoir bed Shale/water Without geosteering With geosteering

detect the bit about the limits of sand or fluid contact before being intercepted. The driller can adjust the bit path before leaving the training objective.

CUTTING EDGE TECHNOLOGY

Cross section prior to the opening

New multilateral systems

UNION MORE EFFICIENT

Cross section after the opening

Level 6 multilateral joint. Structural integrity Hydraulic integrity Preformed tubular junction. Developing teams, currently limited to shallow wells. Drilling and completion equipment conventional. Limited to two sides.

BIT

Not required drill pipe. Change the bit by winch hoisting engine team to 15 times faster than conventional drilling. Shorter exposure of the hole drilled. Developing technology. Cased hole logs to formations of interest.
