MAX-PRIME solution stabilized well, minimized formation damage Results • Drilled and conditioned well without formation losses • Reduced overall drilling NPT • Increased wellbore stability by allowing higher ECD values • Performed gravel packing operation without formation losses • Avoided reservoir damage • Custom particle size distribution minimized skin damage • Maximized reservoir production (productivity index was greater than offset wells) Challenges • Ultradeepwater well at 5,079 ft • Sandstone reservoir with high permeability of 5-6 darcies and porosity at about 38% • Narrow operational window with high risk of lost circulation and formation collapse • Unsuccessful attempts in two offset wells with severe fluid losses, resulting in high skin damage and
