STUCK PIPE INCIDENTS IN MIDDLE EAST WELLS DRILLED TO LIMESTONE AND SANDSTONE RESERVOIRS

Abstract

Drilling for natural gas and oil resources is not an easy task, and requires careful planning, and instant implementation of necessary actions when a trouble is faced. The occurrence of stuck pipe incidents are inevitable in some occasions if lessons are not correctly implemented. The stuck pipe incidents when encountered especially in offshore wells while drilling operations are very costly and time consuming. Examples of differential and mechanical stuck incidents are examined together with the respective lessons learned. Analyses indicate that stuck pipe incidents are due to the sloughing within the wellbore, and drilling across highly permeable shale formations. Common risks to be encountered during drilling due to the stuck pipe occurrences are not limited to having a damaged poor quality well that is not designed up to the required needs. In history of drilling numerous stuck pipe events have occurred, with considerable amount of time and money loss, the question now is to see whether the industry has learned from its past behaviours? Study reveals that the most powerful ways to prevent occurrence of stuck incidents is implementing the lessons learned in case of getting stuck with a sound drilling plan already in place
