Agenda

The drilling and completion of wells continue to gather strong momentum within the E&P industry. As wells become deeper, longer, and more geologically complex to recover hydrocarbon assets from more challenging rock formations, the industry demands for fit-for-purpose completion technology to improve operational efficiency, maximise production, and project economics. Well completions technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace to address various challenges, such as:

• Controlling unwanted production fluid (such as gas/water in oil producers with ICD/AICD)
• Active reservoir management and real-time surveillance with intelligent completions
• Maximised reservoir exposure and improved hydrocarbon recovery with proven multilateral technologies
• Optimise operational efficiency with single trip system in conventional and sand control completions
• Artificial lift equipment design/upgrade for conventional and unconventional wells

In essence, completions technology has evolved, where installations are done in less time and reliably produced at greater rates. This session will cover case studies and best practices to clearly demonstrate how new technologies achieved those goals to enhance wells deliverability throughout its life cycle.

Optimising well intervention approaches has been a significant subject of discussion for both operators and service companies in recent years, taking into consideration the current pandemic which has created more demanding operational environment. Production sustainability remains crutial as operators continue to balance well intervention and engineering approaches with stringent well economic constraints. The industry has been giving more specific attention to the continuous evolution of smart intervention techniques, to efficiently deliver production with creative intervention approaches. These approaches include re-inventing the current well intervention techniques for higher operation efficiency, out-of-the-box intervention methodologies with current or additional resources, real-time data transmission and analysis, and remote downhole tools manipulation, equipment, and service automation.

This session will provide an overview of the latest development in efficient well intervention approaches, to either extend the current well intervention envelope or provide significant well economic gains for operators. Presentations will include case histories with actual field implementation and quantifiable results.

Various problems can occur in a producing well that can negatively affect operations, production, and ultimately revenue generated; these may include the failure of mechanical equipment, changes in production characteristics, and plugging and increases in injection pressure. Often, a well intervention approach is required to achieve optimal production should any of these issues happen during production.

Well interventions are frequently required to repair or replace damaged completion components to restore well integrity, improve inflow performance to reduce skin, and/or to improve tubing performance by removing impediments to flow or installing artificial lift. Interventions can be a cost-effective way of slowing or even reversing a decline in well performance. The efforts to mitigate production decline and, in some cases, reverse the trend, requires not only a deeper understanding of the subsurface issues but also a comprehensive well intervention plan to sustain production.

This session will provide well intervention learnings and best practices from subject matter experts for a sustainable production lifecycle.

The oil and gas industry have and will continue to face various challenges, especially in recent years where volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) have become the new norm that must be faced daily.

The world's paradigm shift towards clean energy is also placing increased operational constraints on upstream players. These challenges have forced upstream players to re-look into the current business model and explore the most appropriate and integrated business models to continue to remain sustainable. One key area of advancement is in integrated asset modelling, and its application to drive integrated workflow and decisions to rejuvenate production.

Technology holds an important key in supporting the upstream sector in their business models to manage portfolio assets, ranging from green fields, brown fields, and even rejuvenating existing fields to optimise their potential value. In addition, collaboration from all stakeholders is crucial for this process to be a success, and deliver better returns on investment and expectations. This session will showcase various techniques and workflows for production rejuvenation.
