History of Expandable Technology
  • 1865 Patterson Sheet metal formed into a
    tube
  • 1910 Mettler Repair Patch, ductile
    pipe/rotary expansion
  • 1917 Leonard Corrugated pipe/solid cone
    expansion against formation
  • 1940 English Ductile pipe/fluid pressure
    or explosive charge expansion against
    formation or casing
  • 1962 Vincent Corrugated pipe coated with
    fiberglass saturated with liquid resin 1980-
    present Corrugated pipe expanded by pressure
    and roller cone
    Tatneft/Russia Patching of troublezones (1,500
    wells installed)
  • 1992 Lohbeck Slotted Completion Liner using
    solid cone (Shell)
  • 1995 Donnelly Expandable Sand Screens
    (Shell)
  • 1992 Worrall Solid cone expansion of ductile
    casing (Shell)
  • 1992- present Exponential growth of patents

RD Challenges
  • Launcher assembly Improve Deployment process
  • Increase post expanded Collapse Pipe material
    selection
  • Connectors Gas Tight connector with high
    expansion ratios
  • Pipe Reduce cost with new materials or relax
    specs.
  • Cone Reliable multiusable Collapsible and or
    Compliant Fixed cone
  • Contingency Systems How to recover from
    unwanted events

14
PART 2 - FROM LAB TO FIELD How to accelerate
implementation
15
Hurdles to innovation the Blockers
50 penetration
Commercial
Idea
Prototype
Field test
  • Lack of stability in funding
  • Limited patent protection
  • Multiowner decision structures
  • Fewer elephant fields to sponsor development
  • "Not invented here" syndrome
  • NPV techniques undervalue optionality of field
    testing
  • Traditional BU performance metrics fail to
    capture company value
  • Cannibalization concerns
  • Underdeveloped risk-sharing models
  • Lengthy deployment processes
  • Declining academic consortiums
  • Limited funding
  • Declining flow of top talent to industry

(McKinsey analysis)
16
Industry Tension
  • EP companies- reduced RD budgets- unwilling
    to share value- high cost of failure- scorecard
    driven
  • Small Innovators (SMEs)
  • - Ambitious, nimble
  • lack funding
  • limited market access
  • Big Service Companies- lack of incentives -
    limited innovation
  • - bitter past experiences!

17
Skill sets across the Technology Process
Major Operator
Major Service Provider
Joint Venture
18
Conclusion Some Form of Technology Partnership
is required
Options
  • Joint Venture- where both parties provide
    services, expertise and funds with a shared Board
    of Directors
  • Licensee where one party has secured the
    rights (sometimes on an exclusive or semi
    exclusive basis) via payment and/or royalties
  • Contract - where one party simply pays another
    for RD delivery

Note They all have pros and cons and all require
clear guidelines on exclusivity, IP ownership,
transfer of technology and payment structure

Main Benefits of Solid Expandables
NOTE Even non users can benefit by being able
to slim down wells with a SET as a contingency
string

Note A few stating no application probably
have some.

PART 4 - THE MONO-DIAMETER WELL Is it a dream,
a reality, a con trick or a white elephant ???
34
Monodiameter Well Concept
The Vision
35
Business case for the MonoDiameter well
  • It can lower Unit Operating costs by
  • Faster drilling / cheaper rigs
  • Lowers costs of casing, bits, mud, cement,
    wellhead, cuttings cleaning etc.
  • Lowers logistics costs (helicopters, supply
    boats)
  • Helps the environment
  • Always gets well to TD
  • Increases Near and Far Field Potential

36
Application of Monodiameter wellsfor Extended
Reach Drilling
offloading tanker
  • Long Sidetracks become feasible
  • Apply conventional maintenance
  • Good Flow assurance
  • Can avoid costly sub sea templates
  • and pipelines on sea bed


37
Concept is already proven
16" Surface Pipe
1600'
11-3/4" Conventional
  • Thomas Rife-15 (Sth Texas)
  • MOD Concept was field proven in 2002
  • Used 2 trip process ie bottoms up expansion
    followed by top down expansion
  • Did not provide zonal isolation
  • Provided the impetus to start RD work on a
    commercial single trip MOD system in 2003
  • New MOD Technology has been developed and is
    presently being tested

Monodiameter Test Well - 2004
16 casing to 40 ft
  • Test Objectives
  •  
  • Verification of 3 single trip MOD sections
  • Creation of 2 bells downhole
  • Deviation (15deg) and DLS (3 deg/100)
  • Repeated jacking cycles (instead of hydraulics)
    as contingency
  • Test MOD zonal isolation using elastomers without
    cement
  • Expansion against formation
  •  
  • Timing before year end 2004

11 ¾ surface casing

2500 ft
3 MOD sections (ie 9 5/8 pre expanded casing
with post expanded ID of 10.4) Lower 2 bell
sections formed downhole Lowest section using
elastomers without cement

Circa 4500 ft
40
  • Monodiameter (MOD) Development Summary
  • Monodiameter Technology was successfully tested
    in Sth Texas in 2002 (2 pass system)
  • New single trip MOD system has been designed and
    tested in test rig in Duncan (Oklahoma)
  • Ready to be field tested in well Nov/December
    2004
  • Should be commerically available to the industry
    in second half 2005
  • 7 5/8MOD to follow if there is Customer demand

41
Expandable Presentation Summary
  • Fundamentals Simple BUT only when you know how
  • How to accelerate global implementation
  • Review of products/companies/industry opinions
  • MOD Not a dream anymore

Conclusion As field sizes go down and costs go
up, expandable technology can help you add value.
Thank you all for coming .and thanks to the
