XACT service enabled openhole screen running in tight margin wells Challenges • Monitor downhole pressure and weight downhole and along the string in real time • Run screens in openhole with high-angle reservoirs, tight mud weight Results • Transmitted data gave precise downhole activity • Delivered 99% uptime transmission • Installed openhole screens safely and efficiently in a well considered by many to uncompleteable Deepwater wells drilled into shallow reservoirs continue to be a particularly challenging pressure environment. By necessity, these wells are high angle to achieve reservoir contact, with high build-up rates due to the shallow depth below the seafloor. In addition, these wells have challenging mud-weight windows, typically less than 1 ppg. Due to the
