  • Iran Eyes $4B in Developing Two Oilfields: Minister
    Iran eyes $4b in developing two Oilfields: Minister 4/9/2018 5:23:00 PM Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh says Iran expects to generate a total of 4 billion dollars by developing Aban and West- Paydar oilfields that it shares with neighboring Iraq. Addressing a ceremony to sign a contract to develop the two fields here in Tehran on Wednesday, the official said oil recovery from the two fields is pretty difficult but once the envisaged 67 million barrels of crude is produced from the fields, the country will have generated 4 billion dollars given the current oil prices. Aban oil field is located 38 kilometers southwest of the city of Dehloran, and Paydar-e Gharb field is situated 150 kilometers northwest of the oil-rich city of Ahvaz and 35 kilometers from Cheshmeh-Khosh processing facility in Ilam Province. Both fields are jointly owned by Iran and Iraq. Their current production together stands at 36,000 b/d. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed with Zarubezhneft on July 12, 2016 for the Russian company to study the Aban and Paydar-e Gharb fields under the newly developed model of contracts (IPC) with a view to accelerating oil and gas fields Iran shares with neighboring countries. For the purpose of improving recovery and increased production from these two fields, the current agreement is signed between the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) on one side and Zarubezhneft and its Iranian partner Dana Energy on the other for a period of ten years. “By implementing this contract, crude oil production of Aban and West-Paydar fields will increase 67 million barrels from currently 38 million barrels to 105 million barrels,” Mr.

  • G-SC-9 the Safe Drilling of Wells Requires a Detailed Pre-Drill Prediction of Pore Pressures, Fracture Gradients and Potential Wellbore Instability
    Iranian Petroleum Geomechanics Association- Training Section www.IRPGA.com Pore Pressure, Wellbore Stability and Casing Failure Prediction Instructor: Dr. Yousef Abbasi Asl Course Description (3 Days, 24 Hours) G-SC-9 The safe drilling of wells requires a detailed pre-drill prediction of pore pressures, fracture gradients and potential wellbore instability. Accurate pore pressure prediction is vital for several aspects of well planning, such as casing and cementing design, as well as the prevention of potentially disastrous kicks, losses and blowouts. Pore pressure analysis represents a key part in reducing drilling costs and optimizing drilling, both in the planning and operational stages of drilling a well. Another serious concern to well completion design and production management is the casing integrity. Many factors can negatively affect the integrity of a well’s casing. The most common culprits are hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which is highly corrosive, and mechanical failures due to geomechanical influences. Mature wells, especially those undergoing secondary recovery, are particularly susceptible to integrity problems. The casing may simply leak in which case formation water can intrude in to the casing. The influx of external water increases the water-oil ratio of the produced fluid. Another casing failure phenomenon is severe casing deformation and the resultant difficulties in working over the well. The workover tools will have difficulty passing through a certain section of the casing that is significantly deformed. In the worst case scenario, a sidetrack may be required. This 3-day course will start with the fundamentals of pore pressure measurement, overpressure generation, overpressure analysis, and pore pressure prediction in order to provide attendees with an understanding of the core components of pore pressure prediction.
