Historic 1950’s
• Rising development costs are recognized as one of
the major problems facing the oil industry today. To
combat this situation, several new concepts designed to improve
drilling techniques have been advanced within recent years. Among
the ideas proving most effective is slim hole drilling.
• Carter's slim hole experience has been in both exploration and pool
development wells. In addition, slim hole practices have been
successfully applied to water injection wells. In comparison with
standard operations, both penetration rate and bit life decreased
using slim hole methods. No difficulty was encountered in coring,
logging and testing in reduced diameter holes. Actual slim hole
costs indicated a significant economic advantage over conventional
practices. Savings in dry hole costs ranged up to 25 per cent,
primarily from reductions in footage and day work rates. Additional
savings accrued in producing wells from economy in tubular
goods. Slim hole methods may not always be applicable, as
consideration should be given to specific drilling problems and
objectives. In many cases, however, slim hole drilling provides
significant economic advantages over conventional practices.

Problematic and challenges
• Drilling
– Ad-equation hole diameter tubular dimension
• Pulling torque
• Hydraulic ECD (monitoring/ mud window)
– Monitoring of drilling parameters
• WOB especially
– Kick detection
– Kick control
• Data acquisition
– Coring, logging, testing
• Environment
– Waste treatment on site, surface lay out reduced as much as
possible
• Production
• Reduced crew, Service integration

• Procedure
– Same as conventional (driller’s method ..)
– Upon alert (pit level, KDS.. Close immediately
well
– Major kick was controlled as procedure with
no problem

Analysis Conclusion
• Drilling
– ROP similar to conventional, even in some
occasion better
40
Analysis Conclusion
• Geological evaluation
– Satisfactory (except for RFT and side core)
• Production
– Up to 500 m3 slimhole wells can be used as
producer, versus a standard well the production
is reduced of 10%
• Economy
– Up to 50 % see next dia

Conclusion
• What went wrong ???
– Technical success
– Viable economically
– No commercial development !!!
