 DEEP TREK WORKSHOP

EXECUTIVE S UMMARY

The National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and Sandia National Laboratories hosted
the Deep Trek Workshop on March 20-21, 2001. The purpose was to gather stakeholder input on
technology gaps and needs for drilling and completing deep oil and gas wells, and to determine
how the DOE can collaborate with industry to meet these needs. Specific technology challenges
and opportunities focused on drilling and completion fluids, completion-based well design,
advanced smart drilling systems, and drilling diagnostics and sensor systems. These workshop
proceedings include all speaker presentations, the breakout session products, and the participant
list. The proceedings are publicly available at the NETL website: http://www.netl.doe.gov/. CD-
ROMs can also be ordered from this site.

During the workshop, 96 participants from 53 organizations shared ideas through presentations
and through facilitated breakout sessions. In addition, industry presenters gave detailed lists of
their drilling needs for an R&D program. The breakout sessions featured structured
brainstorming and critical analyses to identify barriers and technology opportunities, and to
prioritize collaborative actions. The workshop is expected to aid in developing strategic industry,
academia, and government alliances.

Background
The limits of conventional well construction technology are tested in drilling and completing
deep wells. The rock is typically hot, hard, abrasive, and highly pressured. The fluids produced
are, in many cases, corrosive. Control of well bore trajectory and placement of casing and
cement are difficult problems. In addition, because of weight limitations, there are a limited
number of rigs available to drill deep wells. This increases drilling costs. Today, it is
tremendously expensive to drill at depths greater than 16,000 feet, and in deep wells, as much as
50 percent of drilling cost can be encountered in the last 10 percent of the hole length. It is not
uncommon to encounter a penetration rate of only two to four feet per hour, at an operating cost
of tens of thousands of dollars a day for a land rig. If this low penetration rate is encountered on
an offshore location, the cost becomes millions of dollars daily. In deep formations, the driller
spends significantly less time on a percentage basis “making hole” than in shallower wells. Some
ways to keep a driller “making hole” include: reduce the number of “trips” out of the hole,
increase bit and drilling assembly life, reduce corrosion/erosion effects, and increase the driller’s
knowledge of what is happening downhole in real time.

Program Goals
The Deep Trek initiative is designed to develop technologies that make it economically feasible
to produce deep oil and gas resources. Deep Trek will focus on increasing the overall effective
rate of penetration (ROP) for deep drilling. This work will include high performance “smart”

Deep Trek Workshop March 2001

systems and materials for deep, harsh environments. Smart systems will include advanced
sensors, capable of withstanding high temperature and high pressure operation to enable logging-
while-drilling and measurement-while-drilling systems to operate. These systems will allow the
driller to anticipate problems and significantly reduce the need to pull the drill string. New
systems will be developed that will allow data to be transmitted to the surface in real time. High-
speed data transmission is a difficult venture in the drilling environment and is much more
problematic in high temperature, high pressure conditions. Advanced materials development will
be aimed at reducing weight, increasing resistance to corrosion/erosion, and integrating the data
transmission system. One of the goals of this work is to develop lighter, erosion resistant drilling
and casing strings, which would extend the depth capabilities of the existing rig fleet rather than
requiring fabrication of new rigs. Individual components will be developed first and then
demonstrated together in a deep drilling system. Perhaps the greatest need is to view the well
construction process from a total systems perspective and to incorporate new information
technology in the process.

Public Benefit

In a recent National Petroleum Council gas study, one of the leading frontiers for gas resource
development is in deep formations. EIA estimates that 7 percent of U.S. gas production in 1999
came from deep formations; this is expected to increase to 14 percent by 2010. Without
additional improvements in drilling technology, this deep gas resource will be developed
primarily because of increased gas prices. The situation is aggravated by the escalating costs
associated with deep drilling. Currently, there is no technology-based hope for a future solution.

Because lower gas prices are essential for economic growth, investing in deep drilling
technology will have an order of magnitude payoff in future economic benefit. Pressure for this
benefit is seen with escalating supply costs and an increase in gas demand. Gas demand is
expected to continue to increase, because gas is the fuel of choice for environmental impact
mitigation associated with electric power generation. Current gas demand estimates could prove
conservative should international agreements, currently under consideration, lead to additional
environmental legislation.

Workshop Breakout Sessions

Five parallel breakout sessions were held on the afternoon of March 20 and the morning of
March 21:

♦ Advanced Smart Drilling Systems – Group A

♦ Advanced Smart Drilling Systems – Group B
♦ Drilling Diagnostics & Sensor Systems
♦ Drilling & Completion Fluids
♦ Completion-Based Well Design

The scope definitions for these technical areas were bounded by the following target goals
(temperature aspects were noted in some of the groups):

♦ Greater than 16,000 feet

♦ U.S. onshore

Deep Trek Workshop March 2001

 ♦ Gas & oil
♦ Next 5-year action plan
♦ Drilling completion & stimulation (DCS)

Through the breakout group sessions, participants identified:

♦ Key barriers and issues to meeting Deep Trek initiatives,

♦ Technical opportunities to overcome these barriers, and
♦ Action plans identifying objectives, actions and products, resources and timeframe, and
collaboration opportunities.

A short summary is provided for each technical area and its top priority opportunity-action plan.
Actual storyboard products for barriers and issues, opportunities, and action plans are in
Appendix A. Although only the top opportunities were scrutinized in detail, many other
opportunities were noted. Each breakout group presented its results in a concluding plenary
session, but to avoid repetition, these presentations are not included. Participants are listed in
Appendix B.

Results

Advanced Smart Drilling Systems – Group A

Two of the highest priority opportunities were real time data transfer and real time data
instrumentation. Their action plans were identical, calling for a committee of government and
industry personnel to spearhead the plan, and then study the state of the art and previous
accomplishments in this area. The “next steps,” as identified by the group, were to define the
problem and goals, perform a gap analysis, re-evaluate the economics of existing technologies,
and consider the end user needs. Additionally, determination of the value-added is necessary,
along with identification of potential solutions followed by request for proposals (RFPs).
Industry should define the problem while government should hold workshops for data collection.
An equal partnership of government and industry is needed, with additional assistance from
universities. The government was identified as having connections for team formation.

Advanced Smart Drilling Systems – Group B

The highest ranked priority for this advanced smart drilling group was the development of a rig
operator decision support system, with an open architecture applicable to all wells. Four tasks
were identified: develop higher data rate telemetry systems, form consortium to define standards
for open architecture information standards, develop logic algorithms for drilling applications
that fuse real time downhole and surface data, and upgrade temperature and pressure
performance for sensors and electronics while looking for other markets to support. All of these
tasks will involve some sort of industry and government collaboration.

Drilling Diagnostics & Sensor Systems

The highest ranked opportunity for drilling diagnostics and sensor systems was downhole
diagnostics drilling parameters including data validation, weight torque on bit, and state of bore
hole analysis. Actions focused on developing a low cost, reliable, high accurate, and retrievable
tool while preventing bit damage. Resources needed include better seismic while drilling,
Deep Trek Workshop March 2001
downhole processors, and better materials. Lead roles focus on service companies via JIPs with
lab and university research development. Leveraging of funds will be essential.

Drilling & Completion Fluids

In order to optimize the fluid performance, the industry needs economic tests and simulators
developed that will aid in determining drill fluid contribution to well-bore stability. These tests
would also help evaluate the mechanical/chemical interaction of rock/fluid. Development could
be accomplished through a collaborative effort with industry, the government, and universities.
Actions suggested for reaching a solution include defining the problem, developing a
fundamental understanding of the mechanisms, defining the constraints, developing test
procedures and equipment, and field validation.

Completion-Based Well Design

The highest ranked priority for completion-based well design was the development and
application of information tools for drilling and completion processes, as well as high-
temperature, high-pressure sensors. Field tests of sensors, data delivery systems, and data
collection and analysis systems are necessary. For example, current measurement while drilling
(MWD) needs to be robust. Expertise needs include high-temperature and high-pressure
electronics, micro devices, data transmission, and information technology. A neutral but
inclusive JIP consortium should lead this effort with service company involvement and a clear
path to commercialization.
This group also noted a number of general issues and crosscutting topics. There is a concern
about the availability of technical expertise to apply advanced technology. What may be termed
the “expertise pipeline” for new talent, as measured by university programs and the flow of
students, continues to shrink. There is also a tendency for industry to focus on the short-term
benefits of reducing up-front drilling costs. This comes at the expense of maximizing the long-
term payoffs of long well life and greater total production from improved completion tools and
techniques. In a generally risk-adverse environment, it is difficult to promote the use of new
technology in field operations. The cost of failure is prohibitive, particularly in costly deep wells.
Another group mentioned technology test underwriting, performance pricing, and exportability.

Next Steps

NETL is already taking steps to analyze the workshop results and formulate a solicitation for
immediate release should funds become available for this activity. Further details and updates
will be available at NETL’s website.

three areas: Ron Sweatman Halliburton Energy Services
*Report out presenter
♦ Barriers to cost-effective deep well
systems, FACILITATOR: Jim Carey, Energetics
♦ Technology opportunities to
overcome these barriers, and
♦ Action plans for five priority R&D topics.

The group first brainstormed on the barriers to achieving cost-effective systems. The issues were
then grouped into logical categories. Three major technical areas were identified: well integrity,
data acquisition and quality, and drilling processes and equipment. In addition, three non-
technical areas were identified: regulatory issues, the availability of technical expertise, and
technology risk. The complete results are shown in Table 1.

Based on these barriers, the group brainstormed on technology opportunities. The topics
identified and grouped into six general topic areas: simulation, materials and fabrication, tools
and techniques, sensors and data management, human resources and expertise, and risk
management. The group then voted on priority topics and the complete results are shown in
Table 2.

After voting, the top topics were aggregated into a set of five priority topics for which action
plans would be prepared. A sixth topic, risk analysis and risk sharing, was deemed a critical
cross cutting issue for the other five.

The five topics were as follows:

♦ Develop and apply high-temperature, high-pressure sensors and information tools to

drilling and completion processes.

♦ Accelerate development of tubular solutions.

♦ Develop downhole solutions to surface production problems.

♦ Optimize longevity of wellbore through numerical analysis of wellbore and completion

systems.
Deep Trek Workshop A-18 March 2001
 ♦ Develop low cost enhanced sealants and placement techniques.

For each topic, the group identified products/deliverables, resources (knowledge and expertise),
who leads/collaborates, schedule, and dollars. Table 3 presents the complete results for the
action plans.

In addition to the products shown in the tables, a number of general issues and crosscutting
topics were noted during discussions.

♦ It is critical to view completions as an integrated part of well planning and design in order
to assure productivity over the entire well life-cycle.

♦ There is a general tendency to focus on the short-term benefits of reducing up-front

drilling costs, as opposed to maximizing the longer-term payoff of longer well life and
greater total production from improved completion tools and techniques.

♦ In a risk-averse environment, it is difficult to promote the use of new technology in field

operations. The cost of failure is seen as prohibitive, particularly in very costly deep
wells. For example, new tools and techniques have been developed but not applied.

♦ There is concern over the availability of technical expertise needed to apply advanced
technology. What may be termed the “expertise pipeline” for new talent, as measured by
college and university programs and the flow of students, continues to shrink. For
example, in one of the companies represented in the group, only 9% of the technical
workforce are less than 30 years of age.

♦ There is the need to consider “blue-sky” technology options that could provide
revolutionary approaches to completion tools and techniques. Part of developing these
options would be to examine and adapt developments (e.g., in electronics and
information technology) from outside the oil and gas industries.

♦ Bringing in technical expertise from outside the “typical” oil/gas world capabilities (e.g.,
reservoir engineering, geotechnical) can both facilitate the use of new technology and
prevent “reinventing the wheel.”

♦ Perhaps most importantly, in any technology development there is the necessity for
technology developers to understand the real-time needs and problems of field operations
and personnel. This particularly true for any “blue-sky” efforts to be successful.

Tables 1 through 3 follow.
