  3. Wellbore Schematic

  4. Design and Load Assumptions • Based on team discussions (Hassan Abdul Karim, TheinZawPhyoe (Schlumberger) the following design predications were “declared”: • We would have strong probability of and ability to displace cement to the mudline on every single casing and we would have TOC to the TOL on every liner string and if we didn’t that it is ADMA policy to remediate.  A “void sensitivity study” up and down the cement column, to try to spot vulnerabilities to weakest external pressures to burst loads, found none lacking adequate margin. • Also, we discussed fluid drop and that ⅓ fluid drop inside of 20” casing would be used and this load is resisted by the casing resistance within acceptable margins.

  5. Design Factors • Based IPR 1.8 Sour Critical Drilling • Axial 1.6 • Burst 1.25 • Collapse 1.0 • Von Mises Triaxial Yield Criterion 1.25

  24. Safety Critical Elements (SCE) Safety Critical Element • Any component part of structure, equipment, plant or system whose failure could cause a major accidentt. • Source: API RP 2FB, Recommended Practice for the Design of Offshore Facilities Against Fire and Blast Loading, First Edition, April 2006. Global Standards

  25. Safety Critical Elements (SCE) • Foundation Cement of 30” and 20” • BOPE • Cementing/sealing off Arab H2S gas • Cementing/sealing off Khuff/PreKhuff H2S gas • Acid Frac job equipment • high pressures • Corrosive elements • Production testing/buildup tubing and equipment • high pressures • H2S Hydrogen Embrittlement -stresses • AFE and AFC strains

  26. Safety Critical Elements (SCE) • In regards to the wellhead hanger and flange for the 9-5/8” casing this is at a critical point because the “bullhead” load our casing is good for while drilling the pay zones in 8-3/8” looks like this at the surface: • As we can see in the table the internal pressure is 10,008.47 psi which is indeed just over 10K.  For reference we can also see the 1800 psi “backup” pressure we will need during this “bullhead” well control procedure to keep the 9-5/8” casing from bursting just below the wellhead and creating a disaster scenario. • We simply need to confirm that while drilling the 8-3/8” section that the working pressure wellhead hanger and flange will be 15K and the 10,008.47 psi drilling load safely within this operational resistance envelope.

  27. Safety Critical Moments (SCM) Safety Critical Moment • Any component part of the wellbore construction timeline in which a hazard level is at a peak elevation or maximum rate of increase and human factor components of the control system must recognize this in order to appropriate response levels and structural mitigations. • Source: Michael Davis, Petroleum Engineer

  28. Safety Critical Moments (SCM) • Cement job of 30” and 20” because this is the foundation of the well. • Drilling the Arab sands because of H2S Cementing casing around the H2S gas • Drilling the Khuff and Pre-Khuff sands because of H2S. • Cementing casing around the H2S gas • Fracture stimulation job with all of the high pressures • Production testing/buildups - high pressures - H2S and stresses of the AFE and AFC strains.

  29. Operational Mitigation

  30. Operational Mitigation During this Full Column of Arab H2SGas Bullheading operation the Triaxial Safety Factors would fall below standard as seen in the figure below:

  31. Operational Mitigation

  32. Operational Mitigation • And yet we cannot add a higher weight because the ID would not pass our 12¼” bit and a higher grade would not resist the hydrogen embrittlement load during this exact H2S Acid Gas Kick Bullhead we are modelling so we can add backup pressure to the “C” annulus this time. The backup pressure that works is 440 psi and yet we must add 1 psi of “C” annulus pressure for every 1 psi of Bullhead pressure that exceeds 5450 psi pump pressure (ie. If Bullhead pressure is 5400 psi there is not a need to add “C” annulus backup pressure yet if it reaches 6000 psi we must add (6000-5450=550) 550 psi to the “C” annulus. The anticipated max pressure will be 5900 psi bullhead pressure so 440 psi “C” annulus pressure will be sufficient.

  33. Operational Mitigation

  34. Operational Mitigation • Similar to the Kick from Arab inside 13⅜” if a kick is taken in the 9⅝” that creates maximum bullhead pressure of 10,000 psi will require injecting 1800 psi of fluid pressure into 13 ⅜” x 9 ⅝” (or 1 psi of annular fluid pressure for every 1 psi of 9 ⅝” casing pressure above 8,000 psi) annulus to prevent the 9 ⅝” tie-back from exceeding yield and failure stresses.

  35. Operational Mitigation

  36. Production Test Tubing Mitigation • Production Test Tubing • 0-3000’ lowered temperatures, high axial tension & environment conducive to condensation & moisture creating acidic environment causal in “pitting” and hydrogen embrittlement attack of test tubing: T95

  37. Production Test Tubing Mitigation

  38. Production Test Tubing Mitigation • In mitigating the lowering of the surface temperature during a buildup test and the hydrogen embrittlement “attack” on tubing that could fail the ONLY REMAINING BARRIER with cascading failures of casing just under the wellhead we will be balancing a loss in Axial, Burst and Collapse resistance for more H2S resistance as seen in the above figure.

  39. Production Test Tubing Mitigation

  40. Production AFE AFE MANAGEMENT • There are many ways to manage this AFE and they include: • Displace the annuli with appropriately weighted insulated fluid • Bleed the pressure off with a carefully designed pressure schedule to ensure leaks are detected if they develop. • Put a gas cushion designed to displace a minimum of the “Incremental AFE Volume” into each annulus before production. • A combination of 1,2,3
