Collision Avoidance and Well Interceptions – “Hits and Misses”

Technical Program Committee

WORKSHOP6-8 November 2013 | The Brown Palace | Denver, CO, USA

The discipline of wellbore positioning in the oil and gas industry was born as a way to manage corporate risk. While a portion of this risk is economic, the process risk of a wellbore collision and subsequent well-control event make wellbore positioning a safety-critical activity. Planning to ensure that unintended well collisions do not occur during drilling requires a sound management plan for wellbore positioning technologies and techniques.

The potential for well collisions, and the need for interceptions is rising due to:• Drilling more complex-shaped wells in increasingly dense fields, often with less experienced crews• Potentially catastrophic consequences from an uncontrolled well flow event that mandates competently intercepting a blowout

well• Legislature that requires well abandonment often necessitates subsequent subsurface interception to complete the work

Also, well proximity control and well interceptions are used to develop new architecture for improved reservoir drainage such as system assisted gravity drainage (SAGD). In addition, understanding the full cycle of well-positioning activities with improved policies, planning, and data management reduces uncertainty of downhole locations, leading to improved reserve evaluations.

iPZIG service—the industry’s first gamma ray imaging and inclination service positioned directly behind the drill bit—acquires real-time measurements to reduce directional drilling risk in critical hole sections. With imaging data retrieved at the bit, geosteering can be adjusted immediately to stay within the target zone.

Alcohol Policy: SPE recognizes the legitimate serving of alco-holic beverages in the process of conducting business and social activities. We also recognize that the use and consumption of al-cohol carries with it the requirement for all attendees to consume those beverages responsibly.

Commercialism: In remaining consistent with workshop objec-tives and SPE guidelines, commercialism in presentations will not be permitted. Company logos should be used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter(s).

Continuing Education Units: Attendees will receive 2.0 CEUs.

One CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation. CEUs will be awarded through SPE Professional Development for participation and completion of SPE workshop. A permanent record of a participant’s involvement and awarding of CEUs will be maintained by SPE.

Documentation: The workshop series online community will contain released copies of the workshop presentations.

Electronic Devices: As a courtesy to the speakers and your fellow registrants, please turn off all electronic devices during presentations.

Name Badges: Please wear your badge at all times. It is a cour-tesy to your fellow registrants, speakers and sponsors.

Photography Policy: SPE reserves the exclusive rights to all re-cording or reproductions of the workshop. Unauthorized recording is expressly prohibited, whether by video, still or digital camera, mobile phone, or any other means or form of reproduction.

Any person attending may be photographed or videotaped, and by your attendance, you give permission to use your image in possible future marketing publications including print, online, and video.

Workshop Format: Workshops maximize the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presen-tations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advanc-ing both technology and best practices.

Many of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learned. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and members of the press are not invited to attend.
