    The document discusses Sperry's M/LWD tools being used in a Gulf of Mexico well exceeding 30,000 psi. The tools successfully operated at over 32,000 psi and provided real-time data. Pre-planning and monitoring allowed efficient drilling of the salt section at 80-100 feet per hour, proving the tools' reliability in harsh environments.

    Case History

    Measurement/Logging-While-Drilling

    Sperry M/LWD Tools


    Perform in Environment
    Exceeding 30,000 psi
    Location: Gulf of Mexico

    OPERATORS CHALLENGE In this deepwater Gulf


    of Mexico well, preliminary planning indicated that vigilant
    monitoring of a long salt run and 30,000 psi equipment at well total
    depth would be required. Sperry Drilling services was challenged
    to provide measurement- and logging-while-drilling (M/LWD)
    tools capable of operating in the estimated 30,000 psi or higher
    pressure environment, drilling a 10,000 foot (3,048 meter) or
    longer salt section with a 16 -inch bit while mitigating vibration
    without sacrificing rate of penetration. The application also
    would prove the theoretical pressure limit of the M/LWD tools
    prior to a 40,000 psi pressure chamber being put in place.
    HALLIBURTONS SOLUTION Sperry deployed the
    M5 integrated LWD service, directional probe and negative
    pulser. The M5 service provides formation evaluation answers
    from resistivity and azimuthal gamma ray sensors as well as
    drilling optimization answers from vibration and pressure
    sensors. These fully digital sensors are bundled together in one
    short, integrated collar, reducing the number of connections
    and yielding a significantly more reliable design. The service
    includes the third generation Sperry EWR-M5 resistivity sensor.

    With pre-run and real-time data


    communicated to the field staff, Sperry
    drilled the long salt section efficiently and
    achieved all objectives, with ROP for the
    hole section averaging between 80 feet
    (24 meters) and 100 feet (30 meters) per
    hour. In the final hole section, the M/LWD
    tools were exposed to internal pressure of
    32,433 psi at a depth of 35,055 feet (10,685 meters)
    measured depth and were still able to provide
    real-time surveying and logging data.

    ECONOMIC VALUE CREATED


    Dynamic
    In this challenging application, Sperrys
    Motion Sensor
    M/LWD tools were proven reliable and
    Azimuthal
    durable in the harshest of environments,
    Gamma Ray
    performing beyond the 30,000 psi operating
    Pressure
    limit without failure. Strong communication,
    While Drilling
    pre-planning and rigorous monitoring
    between field and ADT service personnel
    resulted in the successful, long salt run which was executed as
    planned without issues or concerns, and ROP was maintained
    without inducing unnecessary vibrations. As per plan, nearly 60
    percent of the 16,887-foot (5,147-meter) salt body was drilled
    in a single run with minimal vibration and ROP of 80 feet (24
    meters) and 100 feet (30 meters) per hour. Based on success of
    Sperrys M/LWD tools, the operator was able to drill and evaluate
    a record well within all government regulatory requirements.

    HAL18706

    Sperrys ADT drilling optimization services team used all


    pre-planning data and incorporated it into MaxBHA modeling
    software. From MaxBHA modeling data, predetermined
    critical rates of penetration (ROP) and weight-on-bit (WOB)
    parameters were identified along with torque and drag analysis.
    The pre-planning models were updated as the well progressed
    and all parameters were monitored real time.

    Sperry also incorporated M/LWD engineers


    and office Remote Operating Center
    personnel to successfully mitigate vibration,
    and monitor development of 30,000 psi
    equipment with Houston Research and
    Development as well as Lafayette Drilling
    Equipment Maintenance teams.
