Abstract

Horizontal well technology can effectively increase the flow area of oil and gas wells, which in turn increases the production per well. However, horizontal wells also bring serious sand-out problems while increasing oil and gas well production. Offshore oil and gas wells are more expensive to develop and in order to provide production cycle they all carry out prior sand control to prevent the well from being scrapped due to sand out. At present, the horizontal well gravel filling process is mostly used offshore, which is a complex process and involves the cooperation of many parties. The process of horizontal well gravel packing operation is less standardized due to the influence of drilling platform, well condition and marine environment. This paper analyzes the advantages, disadvantages and adaptability of the operation method of vessel support and the operation method of platform support. The study of standardization of processes such as equipment arrangement, equipment fixation, and construction process under the two operation modes is proposed. The focus is on the equipment arrangement and fixation under the ship operation mode, while the standard practice of emergency evacuation of ships is proposed. Without considering the variability of the marine platform, the design of equipment arrangement under the horizontal well gravel fill dependent platform operation mode is studied. The application in the field and the analysis of the timeliness prove that the equipment arrangement standard under the platform-dependent operation mode meets the requirements of offshore oilfield construction and can provide a reference for the standardization of gravel packing and sand prevention completion.
