Reflection: How much time has those who provided the comments spent ?
Reflection: Was it worth it?
Macondo
Norsk Olje & Gass issued a
report with specific
recommendations of what
should be revised in D-010
-> these were tracked
separately and published in the
industry hearing
Main changes
•
Rev.3 normative references has
become informative references
•
WBS are demoted to EXAMPLES only
•
Common WBE requirements moved
to EACs
•
9 new EACs
•
Harmonized with :
– D-001 Drilling Facilities
– D-002 Well Intervention Equipment
– D-007 Well Testing
•
Recommendations from Norsk Olje
og Gass’ Macondo report is included
Potential for increased cost
•
Kill with (1) relief well -> more
casing strings?
•
2 barriers to prevent escape of
gaslift gas -> ASV in subsea well?
•
Logging of critical cement,
tagging & drilling of cement plugs
-> more time?
•
Formation integrity -> deeper
plugs?
•
Injection rate pressure < cap rock
fracture pressure -> reduced
injection rates?
4. General
+
How to make WBS
+
Inflow testing
+

+
1+(1) relief well(s), cont. plan & well
capping eq.
+
Well design pressure, design principles
&factors
+
Structural integrity
+
Personnel training
+
WI management system
-
Removed: Well program content,
reporting of well control incident to PSA
5. Drilling activities
+
Casing hanger lock-down capabilities
+
Risk analysis, procedures and training to
centralize pipe prior to closing shear rams
+
The surface casing shall be installed before
drilling into an abnormal pressured zone.
+
Well control action procedures and drills
expanded with new scenarios.
+
Relief well & PA should be addressed in
casing design
+
Conductor design
+
Potential for shallow gas well if no relevant
offset well exists

2 casing float valves – autofill OK no sources
of inflow exposed.
-
Model for minimum separation between
wellbores replaced with generic requirement
Annex A is updated.
BOP testing frequency
unchanged!
6. Well testing activities
+
Able to close two sets of BOP rams on
slick joint (sub sea wells)
+
Evacuated test string load case
+
UB annulus fluid wells; Inflow test values
should include a safety margin
+
SST able to cut wire / CT
+
UB annulus fluid wells; Use of retrievable
packer OK - pressure test packer from
below
-
Removed «HPHT Well testing» section
-
Well Test string equipment -> D-007
-
Surface flow lines /connections -> D-007
7. Completion activities
+
XT, DHSV & packer in all wells with HC / flow pot.
+
Monitoring of production bore, A&B annulus all
wells. Pressure gauge on all accessible annuli.
+
2 more WC action procedures (sand screens,
anchoring failure) and 2 more WC drills (kick drill
RIH completion and emergency disconnect)
+
All gas lift wells shall have two barriers to
prevent release of the A-annulus gas volume
+
All platform wells shall have a ASV
+
ASV can be replaced by GLV
+
CAL IV connection for tubing exposed to gas
+
Injected media to be contained within the
targeted formation zone (reservoir) without risk
of out of zone injection. Requirements to logging
and packer location.
X
8. Production activities
+
All wells to have an updated WBS
+
Wells shall be well integrity categorized as
per GL 117
+
Handover of well documentation
+
How to react to anomalies -> evaluate,
risk assess, MOC
+
Casing & tubing annuli pressure operating
range
+
Safety critical valve failure rates exceeding
2% /12 month period -> root cause
analysis -> actions to reduce the failure
rate.
9. Abandonment activities
+
Simplify by use of examples to support
text
+
Re-defined Suspension to only include
wells under construction, Temporary
Abandonment,- with monitoring (indefinite) and without monitoring (max. 3
years)
+
Examples on placement of plugs/casing
cement (permanent P&A)
+
Relevant EAC tables have been edited
where necessary
+
Decision support for section milling and
placement of cement behind casing
+
Cement plug verification – tag or drill
+
XMT removal requirements added
10. Wireline operations
+
Risk analysis focus - two additional
sections with discussion on reducing
probability and consequences of
compromised WBE
+
Riserless Light WI:
– New section summarising minimum
vertical bore elements in well control
stack
– New WBS example
– New EACs (x3 following Statoil structure)
+
Toolstring deployment:
– New section outlining some alternative
deployment options
– New WBS example for bar deployment
13. MPD/UBD operations
+
Added Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD)
for platforms – does not exclude subsea
operations.
+
Introduced well control action matrices
for MPD and UBD.
+
Introduced ” Additional Common WBE
Criteria” in EAC tables: 2 (Casing), 4
(Drilling BOP), 5 (Wellhead), 22 (Casing
Cement), and 26 (High Pressure Riser)
+
New WBS: MPD
+
Table 53: UBD/MPD choke system
+
Table 54: Statically Underbalanced Fluid
column
+
RCD shall be qualified as per API 16RCD
The other sections
11. Coiled tubing operations
12. Snubbing operations
14. Pumping operations
-> only some minor changes

15.12 Casing Cement
Verification method
The cement length shall be verified by
one of the following:
1.
Bonding logs: Fit for purpose,
azimuthal /segmented data,
verified by qualified personnel
2.
100 % displacement efficiency .
Actual displacement
pressure/volumes vs. simulations
Losses, -> loss zone to be above
planned TOC (ref. similar loss
case(s) -> sufficient length
verified by logging.)
3.
Losses: PIT/FIT or LOT is OK only
for drilling the next hole section.
Acceptance criteria
Actual cement length shall be:
• above potential source of inflow/
reservoir
• 50 m MD verified by displacement
calculations or 30 m MD when verified
by bonding logs. Formation integrity
shall exceed the maximum expected
pressure at base of interval.
• 2 x 30m MD verified by bonding logs
when the same casing cement will be a
part of the primary and secondary well
barrier.
• Formation integrity shall exceed the
maximum expected pressure at the
base of each interval.
• Injection pressure exceeding formation
integrity at cap rock: Cemented from
injection point to 30 m MD above top
reservoir verified by bonding logs.


Cased hole plugs tested either in the direction
of flow or from above.

Shoe track: bleed back volume = calculated
volume; pressure tested + supported by
overbalanced fluid or inflow tested.

Check surface samples + cure at downhole
temp.& pressure.

Installation verified through evaluation of job
execution

Plug in open hole: Tag (no pressure test)

Plug in cased hole: Tag + pressure test to 70 bar
above LOT below casing/ potential leak path, or
35 bar for surface casing plugs. Exemption: If set
on a pressure tested foundation, no pressure test is
not required -> verify by tagging.

If one continuous cement plug (same cement
operation) is a common WBE, it shall be verified
by drilling out until hard cement is confirmed.
A standard is worth nothing
unless it is referred to!
