Olinger, Research Assistant Introduction Regulatory Environment Current Market Trends Technical Barriers to Trade and More Competitive Landscape Upcoming Events Best Prospects for U.S. Exporters Industry Resources Introduction Oil and gas have long been the backbone of the Algerian economy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, favorable geology, and new opportunities for both conventional and unconventional discovery/production. Unfortunately, the collapse in oil prices beginning in 2014 and the transition to spot market pricing for natural gas over the last three years revealed the weaknesses of this economic model. Because Algeria has not meaningfully diversified its economy since 2014, oil and gas production is even more essential than ever before to the government’s revenue base and political stability. Today’s conjoined global health and economic crises, coupled with persistent declining production levels, have therefore placed Algeria’s oil and gas industry, and the country, at a critical juncture where it requires ample foreign investment and effective technology transfer. One path to the future includes undertaking new oil and gas projects in partnership with international companies (large and small) to revitalize production. The other path, marked by inertia and institutional resistance to change, leads to oil and gas production levels in ten years that will be half of today's production levels. After two decades of autocracy, Algeria’s recent passage of a New Hydrocarbons Law seems to indicate that the country may choose the path of partnership by profoundly changing its tax and investment laws in the hydrocarbons sector to re-attract international oil companies.

  • On the Dynamic Effects During Under-Balanced Drilling Operations
    ON THE DYNAMIC EFFECTS DURING UNDERBALANCED DRILLING OPERATIONS AND THEIR PREVENTION Z. Wang, R. Rommetveit, RF-Rogaland Research; R. Maglione, Agip; A. Bijleveld, KSEPL, Shell; D. Gazaniol, Elf Aquitaine Production RF-- *\~IJois rbceiveo SEP 29 938 OSTt DISCLAIMER Portions of this document may be illegible electronic image products. Images are produced from the best available original document. ABSTRACTS In most underbalanced drilling (UBD) operations, the underbalanced condition must be generated artificially by injecting gas into the well. Due to the high compressibility nature of gaseous phase and interruptions to the system, the flowing system is a non-steady state one, especially when jointed pipes are used. This is experienced by the varying liquid and gas flow-out rates, and spikes in the bottomhole pressure. These dynamic pressures have been observed and documented in field UBD operations. This paper will first present an extensive examination of the dynamic effects during an underbalanced operation. The dynamic effects are often associated with drilling operations, like starting/stopping circulation, gas injection kick-in, changing fluids circulation rates, making connections, tripping, and deployment of BHA and downhole tools. Secondly, we discuss measures that are necessary to avoid the excessive peak loading of the surface facilities, the excessive wellhead pressures, and accidental overbalanced situations downhole. These are developed based on the field experience and simulation results from a dynamic underbalanced drilling simulator. We also demonstrate how a dynamic underbalanced drilling simulator can be used to improve the understanding of the physical process involved and be useful in designing operations. 1 - INTRODUCTION Underbalanced drilling has been used increasingly to address many field and operational problems during the last several years.

  • 'Drill-In' Fluids and Drilling Practices Drilling More Productive, Less
    GRC Transactions, Vol. 40, 2016 ‘Drill-In’ Fluids and Drilling Practices Drilling More Productive, Less Costly Geothermal Wells John D. Tuttle and Renan Listi Sinclair Well Products & Services, Inc. [email protected] • [email protected] Keywords Drilling, drilling fluids, stability, production, formation damage, geothermal drilling, mud, inhibition, potassium, fluid loss ABSTRACT GRC presentations on drilling fluids and formation damage was presented in 2007 and 2010. This current paper exists as an update, and introduces some of the recent developments in geothermal drilling fluids and drilling practices, with specific emphasis on minimizing formation damage and optimizing well producibility, During the past numerous years since the previous paper presentations, mud additives and drilling operations have evolved, and geothermal drilling fluids programs have typically moved away from the conventional hi-temp claybased systems of the past, in favor of minimally-damaging ‘Drill-In’ fluids. These new fluids use little or no Bentonite and conventional LCM, providing benefits which may include enhanced lubricity, superior wellbore stability and inhibition, reduced potential for formation damage, and reduced stimulation requirements. Recent Geothermal Drilling Fluids and Drilling Operations Advancements Non-damaging fluids rheology modifiers (viscosifiers, suspension agents) Non-damaging sweep additives Use of inhibitive base fluids (supported with lab/field testing) Applied Hydraulics Increased mud pump (circulating) capacity Brief History of Geothermal Drilling Fluids As the renewable energy industry ‘gained steam’ and interest during the Arab Oil Embargo of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, many large O&G companies (Chevron, Unocal, Mobil, Phillips, Occidental, etc) attempted a diversification into the geothermal industry. They brought conventional O&G drilling technologies and drilling fluids, and implemented limited research on high temp drilling fluids systems for this new application.

  • Guidelines for Fluid Selection for Underbalanced Drilling
    International Association of Drilling Contractors IADC UNDERBALANCED DRILLING COMMITTEE “Fluid Selection for Underbalanced Drilling Operations” presented at the UB Technology Conference 2001 by the Fluids Subcommittee Rosalvina Guimerans, PhD., Workover/ Production Fluids, PDVSA Fred Curtis, Global UBD Project Manager, Halliburton Robert Urbanowski, Engineering Manager, Grey Wolf Drilling Bill Wilson, Training Manger, Chevron Sid Ruiz (Chairman), Manager of Engineering, MI Initial fluid selection for underbalanced drilling operations is classified into five major fluid types based primarily equivalent circulating density (gas, mist, foam, gasified liquid, liquid). Further delineation within these groups is dependent upon considerations outlined in the IADC-UBO Classification System for Underbalanced Wells (Level 0,1,2,3,4,5) that further delineates selection based on well flow characteristics, well fluid type, surface operating pressure, fluid containment, well control, and applicable health, safety, and environmental issues. Final fluid selection for underbalanced drilling operations can be extremely complex. Key issues such as reservoir characteristics, geophysical characteristics, well fluid characteristics, well geometry, compatibility, hole cleaning, temperature stability, corrosion, drilling BHA, data transmission, surface fluid handling and separation, formation lithology, health and safety, environmental impact, fluid source availability, as well as the primary objective for drilling underbalanced all have to be taken into consideration
