    CASE STUDY

    Well Construction Performance


    Shaves More Than Eight Days Off
    of Plan in Rumaila Field
    SOLUTION OPTIMIZES DRILLING TIME WHILE LOWERING COSTS
    RUMAILA FIELD, IRAQ

    CHALLENGES OVERVIEW
    Solution Saves
    Design and execute a main pay In southern Iraq, in order to maintain production in the Rumaila
    well, delivering it on time and within oil field, one of the largest in the world, the Rumaila Operating up to 8.5 days of
    budget. Organization (ROO) turned to Halliburton to drill turnkey wells in the
    »» Manage geological risks continued development of this asset.
    »» Minimize nonproductive time (NPT)
    Well No. 21 of the current development campaign in Rumaila was
    »» Lead and coordinate project
    drilled to 10,949 feet (3,338 meters). In the field’s Zubair formation,

    HAL120473
    between Halliburton product
    service lines and third parties the objective was to safely and effectively deliver a production well
    in the main pay reservoir, within the specified budget and with
    effective hydraulic isolation. The total planned time for well construction was 40 days.
    SOLUTION

    Developed an optimized well drilling CHALLENGES


    program based on field experience
    Halliburton was challenged to design, drill, and deliver wells in the Rumaila field – and
    and lessons learned to date
    to do this safely, efficiently, on time, and within the allocated budget. The geology in the
    »» Reduced frequency and severity field presented significant obstacles, including losses within naturally vuggy or fractured
    of losses in Dammam and Hartha
    formations formations, challenges of drilling through highly reactive shale sequences with borehole
    »» Increased rate of penetration (ROP), instability issues, and depleted formations at critical points within the well geometry. These
    and reduced tripping time conditions, which tend to slow drilling with associated problems and historically increase the
    »» Optimized sliding/rotary drilling, total well time, required proper engineering to overcome these challenges.
    using field experience and
    formation tendencies
    SOLUTION
    »» Coordinated the plan with all PSLs
    and third parties to deliver services To reduce drilling time and well costs, the Halliburton Project Management team developed
    and materials on time plans and procedures, implemented from lessons learned on previous campaigns, that
    would deal efficiently with anticipated downhole issues. Halliburton Consulting and Project
    RESULTS Management (CPM) created a synergy between all groups involved in the well construction,
    including Halliburton product service lines (PSLs) and third parties, in order to deliver the

    of planned time, while still meeting all
    client objectives.
    RESULTS
    »» Completed well in 31 days, the
    fastest S-shaped well with a Through proper planning and efficient execution, Halliburton CPM safely delivered an
    step-out < 500 meters (1,640 feet) S-shaped well 8.5 days ahead of the planned time. The plan was based on best practices
    »» Saved approximately 8.5 days and field experience gained by all the Halliburton PSLs involved in the well construction.
    against the planned time of 40 days
    Effective pre-planning in advance of drilling the well played a major role in having a
    »» Entire operation completed with
    zero NPT smooth, seamless operation. The coordination of those same services, along with clear
    »» Zero overall well NPT communication between the Project Management team and the PSLs, created a strong
    team that pushed for performance, educated all involved on the importance of reducing
    operation time, and continually raised the awareness of cost – all aligned with the client’s
    requirements and criteria for well acceptance.
