Talk Outline
When UBD succeeds, it works wonders; Discovering hidden production zones, improving drilling by eliminating lost circulation and differential sticking & increasing rate of penetration, improving production by reducing formation damage, and providing real time reservoir evaluation. The result is Enhanced Oil Recovery and Improved Net Present Value. Yet too often, UBD fails to live up to its potential either because unsuitable reservoirs are drilled or inappropriate drilling technology is applied. The key to selecting appropriate reservoir candidates for UBD is achieving a balance of technical, safety and economic factors.
