MAX-BRIDGE bridging solution improved wellbore stability on historically troublesome wells
MAX-BRIDGE bridging solution improved wellbore stability on historically troublesome wells Results • Downhole losses reduced from an average of 2,200 bbls per 121/4 in. section to zero losses • Reduced overall NPT by eliminating differential sticking and decreasing drilling torque • Wellbore stability increased by allowing higher fluids density up to 0.4 ppg Challenges • Historically troublesome 121/4 in. section • Highly depleted formation • Wellbore instability • Unsuccessful attempts with several advanced LCM applications BHGE solution • The MAX-BRIDGE advanced bridging solution designed a system to isolate the transmission of fluid and pressure • Maintained the system despite overbalance conditions up to 5,000 psi (433.73 bar) during the operation In a matu
