Abstract:Today many exploration, appraisal, and development well test operations are performed in new frontiers, remote locations, deepwater offshore environments, and complex gas-bearing reservoirs. Deepwater welltest and well cleanup operations are presenting unique challenges related to flow assurance aspects that are beyond the standard welltest playbook. Several failures and operational issues related to flow assurance such as the plugging of pipelines and/or tubing by wax or hydrates have hindered the interpretab… Show more
