Abstract:In the mature Cuu Long basin, offshore Vietnam, the dynamic reservoir model projected the pore pressure's depletion as high as 4,723psi countering virgin pressure (up to 8,500psi) for one particular "gas-condensate" well. Coupling with expected deviation of 38° inclination and un-disturbed temperature of up to 170°C, posed a considerable challenge for this well.
High bottom hole pressures can potentially exceed the formation fracture gradient resulting in tensile failures and well fractures. Wel… Show more
