Subsea Well Program

Typical Subsea Well Program:

Drill 36” hole to ~80m

Run and cement 30” Conductor

Drill 26” hole to ~800m

Run and cement 20” casing with 18 3/4” (link) WH

Run Blow-out-preventer (BOP)

Drill 17 ½” hole to ~1300m

Run and cement 13 3/8” Casing

Drill 12 1/4” hole to ~1700m

Run and cement 9 5/8” Casing

Drill 8 ½” hole to ~2000m

Clean up well

Abandon well (run plug or close valve)

Proceed to completion operations

This program can be a 100 days plan

Drilling Guide Base

The wellhead system suspends the casing and serve as a barrier for well fluids against the environment.

There are 5 main suppliers of subsea Wellhead systems:

- GE Oil & Gas (ex. Vetco Gray)

- FMC

- Aker Solutions

- Drill-Quip

- Cameron

The wellheads are usually designed according to API 17D (ISO13628-4) and API 6A (ISO10423).

The 18 3/4 ” Wellhead Housing often has a H4 Vetco external profile for subsea wells.

The internal seal and locking profiles are supplier specific.

Deepwater drilling

An increasing number of the subsea wells worldwide are located in deepwater.

Deepwater is usually defined as water depths from 300 – 1500 m, with greater

than 1500 m water depth classified as ultra deepwater. These depths impose

significant challenges with respect to subsea drilling.

Existing drilling rigs allow for drilling in water depths in the order of 2400 m. New

generation drill rigs and drill ships are being designed for water depths beyond

3000 m.

In deep water, drilling requires very heavy equipment, drilling operations and well

control procedures are more difficult and well costs can rise dramatically.

The following new techniques are considered to have a significant impact on the

subsea well construction costs:

• Under balanced drilling (The first contract in north sea awarded by Statoil)

• Riser less drilling or dual gradient drilling system

• Expandable casing strings

• Casing while drilling

Buzz group

What are the main principles in order to get the oil and gas?

Please give details…

– How do you get to the reservoir?

– How do you get the oil/gas out?

– Where does the oil/gas go from there?

– Think of some safety features in Drilling operations…
