SPE Live Podcast: Completing Offshore Depleted Reservoirs
For offshore wells, particularly deepwater completions in depleted reservoirs, the challenges are significantly greater than in virgin reservoirs because reservoir pressure depletion narrows the operating window. This leads to, and increases, the risk of formation damage, losses, well control events, and completion failure. Other issues are dealing with fluid loss pills, assessing risk from mud losses or poor cement behind pipe. Successful completion of depleted reservoirs requires a more holistic approach to its design that takes the whole well history from the start of drilling the…
