Expandable
Technology: Value Driven Solutions for Drilling and Production
Doug Durst -
Jerry Fritsch – Enventure
Drilling and
production technology continually evolves to meet the needs of operators who are
constantly challenged to produce assets more efficiently and strategically. From
re-stimulating mature assets to pushing technical boundaries in deepwater
discoveries, expandable technology is proving to be an economically viable
solution in a broad range of application.
Solid expandable technology has evolved from early applications as a
contingency liner in unplanned drilling problems. Today, incorporating
expandable technology into primary well design has reduced overall well costs by
up to 30% in some fields. Its combination with other advanced technology such as
hydra-jet perforating and intelligent completions is maximizing stimulation
programs and helping operators dramatically increase production.
In addition to the technical solutions, operators have realized significant
savings by being able to conserve on pipe needs, consumable use, and
environmental disturbance. Projects previously deemed cost prohibitive gained
economic feasibility.
With more than 1,000 installations in the past ten years, solid expandable
technology advancements have achieved industry-wide recognition through
execution excellence and high reliability as successful commercial and technical
solutions for drilling and production enhancement and better project economics.
Expandables will continue to evolve to address ever-changing technical
challenges providing operators new and more cost effective and problem solving
alternatives.
Doug Durst, is a registered
engineer in the state of Texas, and has both extensive years and a diversified
background in the upstream oilfield service industry. He has been involved in
areas of design, development, product and field application, business
development, marketing, product line management and project management related
to both drilling and completion/production related products and services. He is
an accomplished contributor to the industry as he has published numerous
technical articles and papers as well as issued multiple patents. Additionally,
Durst has served as an advisory board member and representative in various
industry groups. In his current capacity at Enventure Global Technology as a
Global Specialist, Doug is responsible for supporting all aspects of the
business growth of expandable production/completion solutions.
Jerry Fritsch is the global
solutions manager for Enventure Global Technology overseeing a staff of
engineers that help analyze and propose solutions for operators using solid
expandables. Additionally, his group provides SET® application engineering,
reliability analysis, and operations and sales support. Fritsch has over 35
years of engineering and operations management background, first with a
ConocoPhillips and now in the service sector at Enventure. With a career focus
on well construction and operations, his experience includes: Gulf of Mexico, US
Rockies and West Coast, Canadian Rockies and West Coast, Alaska North Slope, UK
North Sea. Fritsch earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering
from LeTourneau University.

Improving Drilling
Performance by Applying Advanced Dynamics Models
Abstract:
Drilling dynamics models play an
important role in drilling performance optimization. These models can be
classified as engineering tools or research tools, depending on functionality.
Engineering tools are designed for everyday use; they provide estimates of
important parameters for planning purposes, such as natural frequencies and
buckling loads. Research tools describe the physics of the problem more
completely, and thus are more powerful. They allow complex phenomena to be
studied in great detail, but require a greater investment of time and effort.
Both types of models require validation, either through laboratory testing or
controlled field tests. Once confidence in the models is established they can
be used in a number of ways, including component design, bottom hole assembly
(BHA) design, and investigation of component contributions to overall drilling
system performance.
Application of advanced dynamics
models within one major service company has provided some valuable lessons.
Examples include: (1) polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) bit designs can be
adjusted to minimize impact damage to cutters; (2) roller cone designs can be
adjusted to reduce off-center running tendencies; (3) BHA stabilization can be
optimized to protect sensitive downhole equipment; (4) BHA designs that are
unstable can cause rapid bit destruction; (5) operating parameters can be
adjusted to improve performance of sub-optimal drilling systems.
Case studies from disparate drilling
applications around the world have demonstrated that performance can be
improved by applying lessons learned from advanced dynamics models. Operators
have experienced significant savings in rig time stemming from reduced tool
failure frequency and increased drilling efficiency. Greater tool longevity and
reduced maintenance costs have also benefited the service company.
Biography:
Mark Dykstra is Product Development Manager for Hughes
Christensen Company at the world headquarters in The Woodlands, Texas. His group is responsible for developing new
rolling and fixed cutter drilling products including Tricone™ bits, PDC bits,
natural diamond bits, impregnated bits, eccentric reamers, expandable reamers
and casing drilling bits. Previous jobs
include Diamond Product Manager and Research Engineer for HCC and Research Engineer
for Amoco Production Company. Industry
contributions include fourteen patents and eleven publications. He holds BS, MS, and Ph.D. degrees in
Petroleum Engineering from the University of Tulsa.
Continuing Education Units
The
Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), through SPE Professional
Development, will award Continuing Education Units (CEU) for
participation and completion of SPE short courses, distance learning
programs, applied technology workshops, and sanctioned learning
activities. One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation in SPE
continuing education activities. A permanent record of a participant's
involvement and awarding of CEU will be maintained by SPE. SPE will
provide a copy of the participant's record upon request. These CEUs may
be used toward the 15 required Professional Development Hours (PDH) in
the State of Texas for license renewal by the Texas Board of
Professional Engineers.
The
sections meetings of the SPE and their Study Group meetings may be used
to accumulate PDH (Professional Development Hours). Down load the
TP-SPE Spread sheet containing the 2003-2004 meetings list and enter
the attended dates to get a form containing your acquired participation
Contact Hours. Remember, 10 contact hours of participation equals one
CEU.
