Abstract A maximum reservoir contact (MRC) well with a 10,000-ft horizontal completion interval and a 20,000-ft measured depth was recently drilled and completed in a major carbonate oil field offshore Abu Dhabi. This paper will describe the integrated drilling, completion, and stimulation approach taken for planning and executing this well. The well is completed with 38 inflow control device (ICD) subs containing 55 ICD nozzles along with 16 swellable packers. The placement of the packers and ICDs was based on reservoir inflow modeling and advanced acid modeling to ensure that adequate stimulation could be achieved through the ICDs. A specially-formulated drill-in fluid containing a pH-activated filter-cake breaker was used to minimize formation damage. To fine tune the ICD settings and locations, reservoir pressures were measured along the open hole using a formation-pressure-while-drilling tool. The 10,000-ft, 6-5/8-inch completion liner was run to TD without difficulty. A tapered drill string was run inside the liner and stabbed into a pre-installed permanent packer located in the shoe joint of the liner. The breaker system was activated by circulating a weak acid through the drill string inside the liner. To facilitate future stimulation through the ICDs, a plug was pumped through the drill string and landed in a profile located in a short tail pipe attached to the permanent packer. The well has been put on production and is one of the best producers in the field. Production logging tool (PLT) data indicate that the entire 10,000-ft completion interval is contributing. Although further analysis is ongoing, the preliminary evidence suggests that little or no formation damage was caused by the drilling and completion process. This paper points out the importance of an integrated drilling, completion, and stimulation approach for planning and executing MRC wells in carbonate reservoirs.
