Case Study Two SET ® Systems Used in Malaysian Deepwater Attain TD Objective Challenge An Operator was hesitating to deploy conventional solutions to stabilize a problem shale section. The ID at total depth (TD) had to be maintained in order to properly deploy the tools and technology needed to accurately evaluate the target. Three casing strings were needed between the 13-3/8 in. casing and the top of the reservoir to not only cover unconsolidated formations but also allow drilling an 8-1/2 in. hole for running a 7 in. production string. Added Value Conventional approaches to addressing the trouble zone would have been counterproductive in terms of overall well economics. Restricting the ID would have necessitated deployment of slimhole equipment, which is more e
