Challenge: Better account for variations in
stress and reservoir quality along laterals to improve the percentage of
perforation clusters that contribute to production over the 64% average
achieved with conventional geometric completion designs
Solution: Engineer completions using the
completion advisor in Mangrove reservoir-centric design software with input log
data from ThruBit through-the-bit logging services and the Sonic Scanner
acoustic scanning platform, with the latter obtained in cased hole conveyed by
the TuffTRAC cased hole services tractor
Results: Achieved average perforation
efficiency of 82% for a 50% reduction in the number of nonperforming completion
clusters and a calculated increase in NPV of USD 1.5 million for the first year
of production
