Field presented here is located in the southern part of the Arabian Gulf approximately 135 km north-west of Abu Dhabi city. This giant heterogeneous carbonate field consists of multi-stacked reservoirs. The presented reservoir is highly fractured, it measures 9 km by 11.5 km. The reservoir has an original oil in place estimated at 2,240 MMstb of 35°API oil with saturation gas of 400 SCF/bbl. The reservoir pressure is +/− 2,700 psi and the sealine pressure in the field is +/− 1100 psi. The wells completed in T reservoir are unable to flow naturally against the high sealine pressure. Some wells are producing against by-pass line at 600 psi. Crestal gas injection was introduced to maintain the reservoir pressure. To produce the reservoir at its potential, it is required to use some artificial lift techniques. ESP was finalized to install for overcoming the high sea line pressure. As mentioned earlier the T reservoir is naturally fractured and has crestal gas injection, which lead towards 3,500 – 4,000 SCF/bbl and beyond the ESP limit. This requires some solution to handle the gas. A collaborative team of engineers was assigned to design and meet the challenge of such a premier application. The team conducted a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the T reservoir's fracture and fault characterization: the aim was to deliver an optimal well design meeting the requirement of ESP gas handling with minimum cost. A unique, fit-for-purpose dual completion (4-1/2" × 2-3/8") was finalized. The rigless ESP will be run through 4-1/2" tubing and 2-3/8" tubing will be utilized for gas handling and re-injecting gas in the sealine at surface. The dual completion will allow to handle high GOR through short string, which will lead towards the long ESP runlife. Before commencing the full development plan for T reservoir, this will be a pilot for better understanding the reservoir and its behavior. Rigless ESP was selected due to the advantages compared with conventional ESP: POOH and RIH of retrievable ESP parts through a conventional slickline unitPumps can be replaced during the well life without rig workover.Low OPEX cost. |
