LIST OF POTENTIAL TOPICS FOR FORCE MEETINGS

FORCE - Advanced Wells Technical Committee
_________________________________________________________________

  

1

 

Evaluation of Multilateral-Horizontal-Conventional Well Performance
(Seminar held Jan 1998. Follow-up workshop later) 
2 Low Cost Laterals (coiled tubing drilling, open hole completions, rock mechanics,
well stability)
3

Remote Control (how to use, benefit from)
(Intelligent Wells seminar held Sep 1998. Follow-up workshop later)
4

 

Sensors Reservoir Monitoring / Permanent Downhole Gauges (which sensors should be used/developed, development performance, data transfer,standardised data format) 
(Intelligent Wells seminar held Sep 1998. Follow-up workshop later)
5 Sand Control (maybe further "failure seminar" planned in FORCE 1996)
6 Environmental Wells, zero emissions (cuttings-, CO2- and produced water injection)
7 Exploration Wells (to plug or not to plug, monitoring option during field life, add value)
8

 

Well Intervention (multi-lateral monitoring, autonomous tractors, sub-sea)
(Intelligent Wells seminar held Sep 1998. Follow-up workshop later)
9 Downhole/Sub-sea Processing
(Seminar held March 1999)
10 “Functional” Production Management System (integration, communication, real time, latest technology, application of intelligent/smart infill wells,  identify business cases (economic framework))
11 Experience of AWT. What has been the value and what did we expect? How to demonstrate value and which tools do we still miss.
12 Light intervension vessels
13 Review of DIACS ready for the market
