Extended Reach Case History

 Apache CO2 Injection Well Williston Basin

– 6.1-in dia. 3300-ft horizontal openhole

 Objective: run to TD with 1.5-in coil

– RIH at 1.3 bpm, 20 to 30 ft/min

– RIH Final 850 ft at 1.6 bpm, 10 ft/min

– Placed solvent for overnight soak

– Reentered well to TD with HydroPull™

– Lifted with commingled nitrogen/water

 Lateral range extended by 850 ft (35%)

– Another 300-600 ft possible

Extended Reach Stimulation

2 Wells in Husky Heavy Oil Field (Lloydminster AB)

1.69-in diameter HydroPull™ on 1.5-inch coiled tubing

Bullnose nozzle

Well #1: 1970-ft horizontal with 7-in liner

– Previous attempts stopped by obstructions below 3100 ft

– HydroPull™ run on1.3 bpm produced water with 15% solvent

– Reached TD at 10 to 30 ft/min

– Oil production increased from 44 bpd to 600 bpd

Well #2: 2950-ft horizontal with 5.5-in liner

– Placed 50 cu-m water with 3% KCl and 2% MudSol

– Ran in at 10 to 20 ft/hr

– Production increased from 25 to 44 bpd

Stimulation operations are ongoing

Bridge Plug Milling

5 Well Program for Devon (McAlester, OK)

– 3.25 bpm with 0.5 bpm bypass though MGS

– 5500-ft, 5.5” horizontals, MD 13,000-ft

– 8 plugs in each well

– 2.88-inch diameter BHA, Tricone mill

– MGS™/Agitator/Motor/Mill: 40 min/plug

– HydroPull™ /MGS™/Motor/Mill: 8 min/plug, surface vibration too intense

– MGS™/HydroPull™/Motor/Mill: 15 min/plug, surface vibration OK,

– 2 plugs milled with nitrogen & water

Marcellus Shale Wells

5 Well Program for Talisman (Marcellus Shale, NY)

– 5000 to 6000-ft, 5.5” horizontals, MD 12,000-ft

– Horizontal inclined up to 95 degrees

– High wellhead pressure and sand flow on last HydroPull™ well

– 13 to 15 plugs in each well

– 2.88-inch diameter BHA: HydroPull/Motor/Mill 2.7 bpm

31 plugs milled with HydroPull / 37 milled with beads and chemicals

– Plug milling time in heel of well reduced from 60- to 36-min.

– Plug milling time in toe of well reduced from 147- to 36-min

– Eliminated high cost of beads and friction reducing chemical

– Operator “very impressed with tool”

Tool issues

– Bladed bits produce oversize cuttings when run with HydroPull™

» Use FB instead of Dragtooth mill

– Coil bulge and wear in tapered coil

» Avoid tapered coil

» Cut coil if the kink is bad.

– O-ring failure in disconnect

» Tools must be in good condition

Milling Case History Summary

HydroPull™ enhances weight transfer while milling

– Large reductions in plug milling time

– Most improvement at the toe of the well

– Outperforms NOV Agitator

– Eliminates high cost of friction reducing beads and chemicals

– Works with nitrogen and Motor Gas Separator (MGS™)

 Tool is reliable

– Care is required with coil connections

– Use less aggressive bits
