Brown Fields development, where opportunities emerge

As the crude oil prices are tremendously increasing; jumping above the $100, the development economics are totally changing. Minor, and mature or Brown Fields assets have considerable economic value evolved dramatically. Given the fact that technology is evolving exponentially enough to support non traditional hydrocarbon assets development, and to extremely pushing the recoveries to the highest limit.

New technology for well bore clean up and completions

MI SWACO Specialized tools has through the acquisition of SPS International (2006) being able to bring to Egypt the vast experience of Wellbore Bore Assurance and introduce for the first time in Egypt the Wellbore assurance practices in conjunction with MI SWACO DF and the Operator.

Evolution of hydraulic workover units to sidetrack drilling capability

Nowadays, several of the world’s oil and gas regions are in a mature development phase, with many installations experiencing a decline in hydrocarbon production. Still, they offer the potential for significant reserves from untapped, bypassed or previously noncommercial pockets if there were an economical way to access the reserves.

Improving the Performance of Drilling Fluids in the GOS of Egypt; saving two Casing Strings and completing a stable hole

A Case History A challenging well in the Gulf of Suez of Egypt where the offset wells indicated numerous problems experienced throughout all the wells sections. The Well was drilled where both the 18 5/8” CSG & 7” Liner were saved and the wire-line logging ensured the stability of bore hole against the hydrostatic for more than 3,000psi differential pressure. DFT accepted the challenge and strived to be committed to High Quality Services.

TOPTECH Egypt IBM Business Partner - with its broad proficiency in implementing storage solutions in Egypt was the winning partner dedicated to work with Apache in order to achieve the project objectives.

Filtration of Completion and Workover Fluids

Weighted brines are commonly used to prepare oil and gas producing wells for completion and the initiation of production. These brines are often referred to as completion fluids. The proper type and concentration of brine is required in order to prevent blowouts and ensure well safety by balancing the formation pressure. If the system is under-balanced, when the formation pressure is greater than the well bore, oil and gas will enter the "hole" endangering the rig and crew. As a result, most work is performed in a slightly over-balanced situation, where the fluid pressure in the hole is slightly greater than the formation pressure. When over-balanced, large volumes of expensive brine may be lost to the formation. Since these fluids will come in contact with the formation, perforation and gravel pack, it is important that they be free of suspended solids so that they do not damage or reduce the permeability of these production zones.

Simple, Reliable and Cost-effective Annular Isolation Using Swellable Elastomer Packer Technology

Reliability, simplicity and operating time are key considerations in designing any drilling and completion program in the oil and gas industry. This is especially true in offshore operations because of the considerably higher daily rig rates and operating costs. But it is also true on land and at remote locations where improved efficiencies are also desired.
