Abstract An adventure is something that is exciting and associated with the taking ofrisks. Pazflor project has certainly been an adventure and a huge capital andtechnological investment for Total. The stakes were high with 65% of the production being a heavy viscous oil fromMiocene reservoirs using worlf first technologies, combined with thesimultaneous production of a lighter oil from a deeper Oligocene reservoir andover a very extensive development area. Pazflor is a truly global project with a worldwide control organization and avery demanding schedule. The First Oil achieved on 24th of August 2011, onemonth before the initial planned date, showcased Total's ability to managehighly technological huge international projects.

Abstract This paper will summarize the concept selection, concept definition, and modifications for a two-stage upgrade of a 35-yr old platform rig on a production platform to extend the drilling radius from 15 to 25 kft (Cutt 2007), the maximum working pressure (MWP) from 5 to 10 ksi, and how combined projects enabled the development of new fields which could not support subsea infrastructure. The paper will highlight the lessons learned at each stage of the upgrade and the drilling programs, focusing on how the legacy limitations of the original rig design and inherited constraints of 200% well slot utilization were mitigated to enable the drilling of a next generation of wells. The upgrade of the rig in two separate projects allowed the lessons learned from the first extended reach drilling (ERD) upgrade (Cutt 2007) to be applied to the second 10-ksi upgrade.
