Production Technology for Subsea Development Wells
Abstract This paper provides a discussion of the many points which should be considered when planning the engineering aspects of subsea development wells. The multi-discipline issues in a subsea project are presented together in order to emphasise the requirement for effective project management and close teamwork. Drilling activities including well design and rig selection are considered along with downhole completion design. This includes the differing requirements of exploration wells and development wells with respect to subsequent well utilisation. The requirements of the subsea completion, installation equipment and subsea facilities and their impact on other well design issues are presented. Recent industry efforts on subsea equipment standardisation through API 17D and other North Sea initiatives and the potential for further industry standardisation are discussed. The paper should form a useful reference for those involved in subsea projects by way of highlighting the issues which must be considered, without always presenting solutions. Information has been drawn from many references reflecting primarily North Sea operations in addition to the author’s own experience.
