Definitions
- This invention relates to a method of well construction and completion. More particularly, this invention relates to a method for placing a means of communication between a productive formation and a well borehole without perforating and gravel packing the well borehole at sites of production. The method also relates to minimizing formation damage caused by conventional drilling, perforating, and gravel packing. The method combines and integrates elements of well drilling and construction with the well completion in a manner to reduce time, improve safety, and maximize productivity.
- One common method of well construction and completion is to drill a borehole with conventional drilling fluids, run casing into the borehole and cement the casing in place, displace the conventional drilling fluids with a clear brine, filter the brine and clean the borehole, run perforating guns in the well and perforate the casing, remove the perforating guns and re-clean the casing, re-filter to the clear brine fluids, run in the well with a gravel pack screen assembly, use high-pressure pumps place gravel pack sand between the gravel pack screen assembly into the perforation tunnels and against the formation face. This is a costly, time-consuming process.
- U5-A-5.505,260 discloses a wellbore completion system which includes extendable pistons projecting outwardly from the casing. Each piston contains an explosion charge, which is detonated when the pistons have been extended.
- Formation damage is also a problem during conventional well construction and completion.
- Conventional drilling fluids can allow filtrate and solid particles to invade the formation causing restriction in the productive pore spaces.
- Another source of formation damage is the shaped charges or explosives used in perforating. The energy from these explosives pushes the casing, cement, and formation aside when creating the perforation tunnel. This causes crushing of the formation matrix reducing the permeability and flow potential of the formation.
- Additional damage can come from the polymer gels used for controlling fluid losses after formation perforation.
- One method currently used to over come formation damage is hydraulic fracturing or frac packing. Frac packing is an attempt to use high-pressure pumping and hydraulic horse power to frac beyond any damage.
- Another method for formation damage mitigation user acid stimulation to try and remove or dissolve formation damage caused by polymer gels or mud particle invasion.
- most mud weighting materials are solid mineral particles such as barite and bentonite that cannot be readily dissolved.
- the gravel pack assembly itself can serve as the restriction in the well borehole. This may cause unnecessary pressure drops which restrict production. Also, the gravel pack assembly may need to be removed for remedial operations. The process of removing an object from a well borehole is called fishing. These operations are costly and time consuming and not always successful resulting in a need to re-drill a portion of, or possibly the entire well.
- Drill-In-Fluids Another common method of well construction and completion is to drill a borehole and not run casing across the productive formation. This type of well construction is termed barefoot or openhole. Openhole completions are generally utilized after horizontal well construction. The most common practice is to run a screen assembly in the openhole section and not gravel pack on the outside of the screen between the screen and the formation. However, there has been an increasing number of openhole horizontal gravel packs performed. Formation damage is mitigated by the use of special drilling fluids termed "Drill-In-Fluids.” A common problem with this type of completion is the inability to isolate areas in the completion that produce water. Water production can increase to a point that limits hydrocarbon production rates.
- the screens run in the horizontal openhole generally contain a sand control filter media.
- the horizontal openhole section can act as a gravity separator during production. Because the unconsolidated formation material is not kept in place with gravel pack sand in the annulus between the screen and formation, it is free to move during production. The produced fluids having a certain velocity will carry smaller formation particles more easily and at a higher velocity than the larger formation particles.
- the filter media is usually designed on the midrange particle size based on the overall particle size distribution of the formation, the smaller formation particles tend to plug the screen's sand control filter media instead of bridging on the surface of the filter media with the larger formation particles. This plugging restricts the production potential of the well and may cause a workover or loss of hydrocarbon recovery from the reservoir.
- the present invention provides a method for drilling and completing a well, where the method achieves improved formation productivity without the need for well perforation and gravel packing.
- the method includes the steps of drilling an interval of a well into or into and through a productive formation in the presence of a fluid system adapted to control fluid loss, to be substantially non-damaging to the productive formation, and to form a filter cake having substantial flow back properties minimizing adverse affects on formation productivity.
- a casing string including at least one and preferably a plurality of laterally extendable members having a sand control medium associated therewith is run into the well so that the members can be deployed to contact sites in the productive interval, i.e., the extendable members are positioned and aligned within the productive formation interval of the well.
- the members are extended such that each member comes into contact with the filter cake and/or the productive formation at their associated sites, where the contacting in sufficient to allow productive formation fluids to flow through the member into the casing and out of the well.
- the members Once the members are deployed forming production conduits between an interior of the casing and the formation, the casing is cemented in place. After casing cementing, production tubing/equipment is run into the well borehole and the well is placed on production.
- the method includes the steps of drilling an interval of a well into or into and through a productive formation in the presence of a fluid system characterized by having a hydrostatic pressure equal to or less than the formation pressure to minimize or eliminate the formation of a filter cake on the formation face, so called under balanced or near balanced drilling.
- a casing string including at least one and preferably a plurality of laterally extendable members having a sand control medium associated therewith is run into the well so that the members can be deployed to contact sites in the productive interval, i.e., the extendable members are positioned and aligned within the productive formation interval of the well.

- Embodiments of the present invention also broadly relate to a producing oil and/or gas well including a casing having at least one, but preferably a plurality of, extendable member formed within sections of the casing, where the sections of the casing are positioned in productive formation and where the extendable members are extended to form production conduits or permeable elements at desired sites within the productive formation.
- the extendable members include a casing fitting adapted to secure the member to a portion of the wall of a casing section, an inner sleeve, an inner sleeve stop, an outer sleeve, an outer sleeve stop and a sand control medium disposed in a distal section of an interior of the inner sleeve, where the sleeves are designed to move from a retracted state to an extended state to form a telescoping conduit and a distal end is designed to contact a site of a productive formation forming a production conduit with the sand control medium interposed between the formation and an inner of the casing.
- the productive formations can be identified during well construction by utilizing logging while drilling tools or openhole electric logs. These tools identify the productive formations depth and thickness of the productive formations.
- the extendable members which will replace the perforation and gravel pack completion are spaced out on the casing string to allow them to be aligned with the productive formations as determine by the well logs. Depending on the expected productivity of the formation generally between 1 and 12 extendable members per foot (per 30.5 cm) may be required to effectively drain a reservoir. In many cases 4 extendable members per foot (per 30.5 cm) will be adequate.

Depending on the type of "Drill-In Fluid" used in the drilling process, the well may be placed on production or solvents pumped to remove the filter cake. If the well has been drilled in an under balanced or near balanced condition, there should be little if any filter cake to remove.
- Suitable fluid systems for using in drilling the intervals of a well that penetrate into or into and through a productive formation include, without limitation, any fluid system comprising a fluid carrier and particles, where the particles have a particle size distribution for forming a low permeability filter cake on a formation face as the well is drilled and where the particle size distribution is designed so that a majority of the particles in the filter cake flow back into the casing through a sand control filter medium associated with the extendable members and minimizing adverse affects on formation productivity.
