Title: Procedure to Complete EE-2A

Abstract

This report details the general procedure for testing well EE-2A. Well EE-2A was side-tracked off of a whipstock set at 9,748 ft within section milled in the 9-5/8 in. casing from 9,688 ft. to 9,748 ft. The well was then directionally drilled to 12,360 ft. A number of in-flow zones from well EE-3A have been determined. The shallowest in-flow zones occurs at approximately 10,800 ft.

  • Three logs were performed at Fenton Hill during the week of October 11th. All were Temp./Gamma/CCL (Casing-Collar Locator), logs. Each were similar, yet presented different procedures and problems due to well conditions, etc. These logs were performed according to the "Operations and Safety Plan", that was distributed prior to the logs. This report is written to point out deviations from those procedures, problems encountered during the logging operations, and results of the logs.

  • During the latter part of Expt. 2074, the EE-3A annulus above the cemented in liner -- between the 4-1/2-in tubing and the 9-5/8-in casing -- began to flow, with this outflow increasing to about 5-1/2 gpm near the end of this experiment. Although the available evidence strongly suggests that the annular flow was coming from the high-pressure Phase II reservoir through a fracture network that bypasses the cemented-in liner in EE-3A, this conclusion needed to be verified by a temperature (with collar locator) log. This log was run on Jan. 21, 1988, 44 days following the end of the pumpingmore » phase of Expt. 2074.« less

  • The purpose of this memorandum is to present a formal plan for the pressure testing of the EE-2A completion, prior to releasing the drill rig. As presently planned, this pressure testing will be done with the BOP stack in place, which necessarily limits our surface injection pressure at EE-2A to 5000 psi.

  • It appears that there is a non-flowing hydrofracture from 10,200 to 10,285 ft; the features that are prime candidates for flowing fractures all appear to be quasi-horizontal. These results are at variance with expectations.

  • During the redrilling of EE-2A through the Phase II reservoir region, the reservoir will be pressurized through EE-3A to provide flow connection information. Primarily, we will be looking for indications of fracture intersection during redrilling.
