Modular Reservoir Casing Driller (MRCD) for Reservoir Evaluation

Burlington Resources Canada Energy Ltd., Big Horn Resources Ltd. and Schlumberger of Canada invite you to attend an information session on a new technology (Modular Reservoir Casing Driller) for evaluating reservoirs in cased wells.  This tool can be used to selectively drill through casing, gather formation pressure data formation, fluid samples and then plug the drilled hole in the casing.

Date:       Thursday, May 10, 2001
Time:       12:00 - 2:00 PM (lunch provided) 
Location: PanCanadian Amphitheatre, Room 260, Tower Centre, 2nd Level
                131-9th Ave. SE, Calgary, AB

Background
A new downhole tool has been developed which allows wireline formation testing in cased wells without having to perforate, or squeeze.  This tool provides new capabilities for cased hole formation testing and includes functionality offered in open hole formation testers.  This tool has been developed for the following applications:

  • Acquire pressure information to confirm if a zone may still be commercial.  Also confirm if a pool is being drained by a nearby well or if well down-spacing should be considered.
  • Retrieve formation samples to confirm fluid type in zones where log results are inconclusive.  Fluid samples can be taken in hostile environments like H2S zones where conventional testing may be prohibited.
  • Determine permeability from pressure transient analysis to mitigate frac risk and determine production potential.

Tool Description
The tool is called the Modular Reservoir Casing Driller and is deployed on electric wireline.  This tool is set in casing, drills a hole through the casing and cement to access the formation, takes multiple pressures and samples, and then seals the drilled hole at the end of the operation.  Multiple layers can be tested on one trip in the hole.

Tool Specifications:

  • Casing range for this service is 140mm - 244 mm
  • Tool OD is 108mm
  • Temperature and pressure rating is 175°C and 138 Mpa
  • H2S service
  • Both PVT and Fluid ID type sampling
