Abstract

Summary

Retrofit multilateral application has been applied for the first time in Barents Sea and on Norwegian continental shelf. This technology has unlocked potential, enabled fast track drilling (reduced time to market) and reduced capex in otherwise sub-economic targets. The conversion of single producers in multilateral, as retrofit application, allowed to accelerate production with limited additional required sub sea material.

The integration of Ultra Deep Azimuthal Electro-Magnetic tool with standard LWD technologies has helped the landing of the wells in the reservoir sections and has delivered the valuable geological information to successfully guide the navigation of the oil producers through the reservoir layers.

The presented two case studies are focusing on the operations while drilling, infill well results, main lessons learned and the way forward for the application of multilateral retrofit technology in other assets.
