Slim Hole Drilling and Completion – The Way Forward
Oil prices have gradually increased and stabilised towards the end of last year and the industry is getting ready to steadily move forward e�ciently and be more cost-conscious. Among the lessons learnt from the low oil price environment is that some not commonly applied but proven techniques can be further explored and optimised in search of even lower well cost. One of the techniques is working with small diameter boreholes.
Slim Hole Drilling and Completion is not new. Its application historically has been largely driven by e�orts to capitalise on a number of advantages, mainly to attain cost savings. This technique involves wells that are designed, constructed and completed with slim borehole sizes and cased-o� with not only smaller sizes of tubulars but often with reduced number of casing strings and fit-for-purpose completions. When properly planned and executed, the savings can come from many sources without compromising HSE and well or operations integrity. This technique has the potential to reduce impact on the environment if the footprint, equipment and operations can be scaled down, and well drilling e�uence minimised. It can o�er an economical way to drill and test exploration wells but the envelope has been pushed to also include producing and injection wells thus enabling cost-e�ective development of marginal o�shore fields.
This workshop will cover the philosophy, experiences and best practices for this technique. In addition, some focus will be directed on various existing and new methods and designs to overcome the technical challenges inherent to Slim Hole Drilling and Completion. Recent development and technology advancement will also be discussed to help address well design complexities, completions intricacies, operational risks, e�ciency enhancement and maximise benefit realisation.
There will also be spotlight on applying intelligent and fit for purpose completions that minimise intervention and also exploring the completion options to potentially prevail over issues related to well life, recovery factor and more.

the Distinguished Lecturer programmes, and SPE’s energy education programmes Energy4me are just a few examples of programmes that are supported by SPE.
Sponsorship support of the event helps o�set the cost of producing workshops and allows SPE to keep the attendance price within reach of operation-level individuals, those who benefit most from these technical workshops.
Supporters benefit both directly and indirectly by having their names associated with a specific workshop. While SPE prohibits any type of commercialism within the workshop room itself, the Society recognises that supporting companies o�er valuable information to attendees outside the technical sessions.
SPONSORSHIP CATEGORIESSponsorship categories are o�ered on a first-come basis. Please contact SPE to enquire and verify the availability of categories. Existing supporters have the opportunity to renew the same level of support for annual workshops.
SPONSORSHIP BENEFITSIn addition to onsite recognition, SPE will recognise sponsors on the SPE website and in all printed materials for the workshop. Based on the category selected, supporting companies also receive logo visibility on promotional workshop items.

0800 – 0900 SPE Registration / Networking Breakfast0900 – 1100 Session 6: Case Studies: Exploration Drilling and Testing
Session Managers: Noorazmah Yuso�, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, Mohd Hafiz Mohd Makri, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, Fauzi Abbas Abbas Shari�, Vestigo Petroleum Sdn Bhd Slim hole drilling and testing may be the easiest way to attain cost savings when reservoir management and production are always of concern. This session will demonstrate how some companies saved millions of dollars by simply reducing the borehole sizes and cased-o� with smaller sized tubulars and reduced number of casing strings. As exploration often deals with huge subsurface uncertainties, additional smaller hole size is always planned as a contingency. Slim hole testing is also an area that requires careful planning. This session will address those issues and the mitigation aspects that has taken place without compromising HSE and wells or operation integrity.

Solutions including sand control methods, future intervention strategy, slim hole completion accessories not limited to gas lift mandrels, packers and inflow control devices will be covered. The successes and failures and lessons learnt will also be shared to enable better planning and more faultless execution.
1315 – 1415 Networking Luncheon
1415 – 1615 Session 8: Case Studies – Development Drilling and Completions
Session Managers: Norjusni Omar, PETRONAS; Muhammad Fadzli Abdul Rahim, Baker Hughes, a GE company
Drilling and completion well designs play important roles to achieve slim hole and fit-for-purpose well objective for a development project. Although the cost may always be the driver, other considerations on well design and techniques need to be taken into account in order to ensure well integrity, safety, flexibility, accessibility, and more, would not be jeopardised.
This session will illustrate slim hole drilling and completion techniques that will contribute towards meeting the slim hole well objectives. Case studies include new technology application, experiences, lessons learnt, limitations and challenges faced in various phases i.e. planning, engineering, operations and intervention/workover.
The experience and knowledge sharing in these case studies are very valuable and beneficial for new projects aiming to utilise this proven concept.
