optional “slimhole“ sidetrack from existing “bighole” sidetrack
Key Factors for CTD Success 1) Cost savings potential and/or need UBD 2) Relatively stable formation 3) Use proven tools 4) Multi-well campaign 5) Management commitment MOJ 7/8/05

Cleveland Re-Entry CTD Project Scope of Project: 1. The Coil Tubing Drilling (CTD) Pilot strategic intent is to provide a low cost option for re-developing mature gas fields by utilizing existing wellbores for horizontal sidetracks. We will use wells slated to be P & A or marginal producers and drill 1500+’ horizontals in the Cleveland formation. 2. The pilot program is 10 horizontal sidetracks at projected cost of $0.89 to $1.08m with an average of $.98m. Dry hole ~.$56m 3. The initial production expectations are 1.5+ mcf/d and reserves of 1.50+ bcf Pre-rig activities: 1. P/A existing zone of production by setting a CIBP w/ cement. 2. Run log suite of USIT, CCL, and GR. (Cement tops/Casing quality) 3. Pressure test casing. 4. Set Whipstock Sidetracking Operations (w/CT) 1. Mill widow. 2. Drill the build section (35 degree per hundred)and land at 90+ degrees. 3. Drill 1500+ horizontal section. Completions: 1. The wells will be hydraulically fractured using methods currently being employed with the ongoing horizontal well re-development program in the Cleveland that enables pin point fracs. Goals: 1. Reduction of cost compared to grassroots wells by 40+% 2. With a successful program help expand CTD application throughout the NAG SPU (thousands of potential opportunities). Target Start Date: August 2005
High Level Project Risks •
New technology application to onshore U.S.
•
Personnel and equipment availability.
•
New rig and crews (Performance & Safety issues)
•
Low pressure in targeted reservoir area away from wellbore
•
Lost circulation/Differential sticking
•
Low reservoir pressure near wellbore due to depletion from existing frac.
•
Drilling through an existing frac.
•
Setting whipstock
•
Trouble milling window
•
Casing integrity problems – Exposed casing to Brown Dolomite.
