Crude now through $61!!!

[thegreatgeraldo] 31/10/2017 10:57

Either that or get the chequebook out & ST it...

Geraldo, forgot to mention, my idea for that well is to bullhead it again and run coil and use nitrogen to lift the gunk out, not sure theyve ever tried it, that being said im no reservoir engineer

[goldieshotz] 30/10/2017 19:44

Cant say where i work, just its in the north sea.That particular well will be looked at later down the road once the rest of the newer better produces are fixed.Suffice to say it is a shame when you work along side wells that produce well and are ruined by a dodgy operator/well service tech or a dodgy drill crew.We had a decent gas well that somehow had its actuator springs snap on its tree valve during routine maintenance, when the service tech repaired it, it took nearly a month for the well to flow properly again.Its the reason why the expression touch f'all comes to mine, some wells simply do not like to be messed with.Seen it too much, worries me a bit for companies sdx/rkh who need to start repairing and reworking old wells, they produce now and they could produce more but make a mistake and theyll produce nothing. Diversity with plenty of producing wells/reservoirs is key.Touch wood the esp campaign at meseda goes well without a hitch.

Goldie - try the old fashioned approach on that well, just lob loads of gelli down the well!

Sorry you are not interested in the offer but do keep posting. It's great to have someone on the board working at the sharp end (getting their hands dirty) and who can impart their knowledge to the benefit of us mere mortals.
If you are allowed to say or want to, where are you working.

Like being in ops too much getting my hands dirty. But thanks for the offer kirk.Oh and speaking of pressures, weve got a well that has a downhole pressure of nearly 400bar after a recent re-perf to open up a lower reservoir for production, surface tubing pressure of nearly 250barg, open the choke and it drops like a stone and is like a fart in a pipe. Wireline says the perm is good, so why doesnt it flow? The well is over 15 years old and has never flowed or been cleaned properly because it never flowed after first being drilled to clean it out, the wellbore fluid and chems have mixed to cause a sludge which slowly over time lets gas up the tubing to give the impression it will flow.It never does. Tis one for the reservoir engineers, just goes to show how a beast of a reservoir can be screwed by a simple mistake with drilling mud and chems.We have another well that has had an archive surface pressure of 170bar but one day dropped to 1bar then a month later out of the blue goes back to 170bar, no-one can explain it.So the lesson here is that no matter what the data from a wireline says until a well is proven to flow and consistently flows for every quarterly report on expectation do not count your chickens

Now why didn't Spock know that.
Interested in a vacancy for a science officer ? :)

This is my favourite stock, let's see in 3 years if sdx is valued at $1bn.:-)

Damn, I was just about to post that!

I do not come from oil but from biology. a water drop rises in a tree tube with a speed of 4-44m per hour. it is about pressure differential and about surface tension of a drop. and a very special "tube" construstion. too much dirt - it does not flow. too much speed - it does not flow. too much vicosity - it does not flow etc.

40m high tree has 4 bar pressure differential - 2 times tires.

and it lifts huge amount of water and minerals. it needs its own time and speed (specially in a fractured basin, tight sands etc)

[goldieshotz] 27/10/2017 13:53

Cpt kirk, work in operations offshore, the term is a bit muddled but usually involves flowing the well to a cleanup seperator onsite to remove cuttings/wellbore fluid and break the vaccuum on the bullhead, suffice to say it goes like a f'n train as you have a huge dp across a largely open choke and you need pump hydrate preventors into the tubing at first to prevent it from seizing to flow.Once its cleaned up you bang it into production or permanant test seprator with the choke gagged back to prevent damage to the reservoir downhole, especially important if youve got plugs set at deeper intervals that are higher pressure or water wet as they can cone or bullhead the gas from rising. If you drop the pressure too much too early you can dislodge these plugs and have to go back into the well to replace them to get the well to flow properly again.Its time consuming process takes a good few days start to finish, usually involves the well being shut in several times to check tubing pressure build up and rig down of temporary chicksan.

My first pair of flares were bought in France in 1970.
Quite a few decades ago :)

[thegreatgeraldo] 27/10/2017 09:37

Captain,

Flares are soooo last decade....

[shakeypremis] 27/10/2017 07:59

Flow test maybe???

[captain james t kirk] 27/10/2017 07:17

Has anyone heard the phrase "test production" used before in relation to KSR 14 ?

[shakeypremis] 26/10/2017 20:54

Brent now close to $60.

Something seems to be going on in the background - judging by the graphic above not much volume today so far
