Horizontal Drilling Well Proposal in West Qurna Oil Field (Iraqi Oil Field)

Abstract

ABSTRACT:Depending on the information of some drilled wells in West Qurna oil field (WQ-404 vertical , WQ416directional and WQ-271 directional high angle deviated well) and horizontal well (HF-69) in Halfaya oil field and studying all the factors affecting the hole cleaning beside the field observations with experience , a horizontal drilling program for West Qurna oil field was prepared. This study aims to introduce a plan to drill a horizontal well in West Qurna oil field due to absence of such well type. This proposal consists of complete drilling plan start by bottom hole assembly (BHA design), casing seat with cementing operation, and mud properties. The available geological information was taken into consideration during the design of the present proposal. .
