This paper presents drilling, completion, well-performance, and reservoir-characterization results of a recently drilled maximum-reservoir-contact (MRC) well in the Shaybah field with a total of eight laterals and an aggregate reservoir contact of 12.3 km (7.6 miles). The well was drilled as part of a pilot program to evaluate both the practical challenges and the reservoir performance impact of MRC wells. The results to date on eight MRC wells in Shaybah indicate significant sustainable gains in well productivities as well as reductions in unit-development costs. A useful byproduct of MRC drilling is the enhancement achieved in reservoir characterization. These benefits point to MRC wells as disruptive technologies (DTs) that have positive implications for developing tight-facies reservoirs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
