OSTI ID:160719
The Auger TLP well system has successfully employed novel features to satisfy challenging design requirements of drilling, completing, and producing nearly four miles deep geopressured wells in deep water Gulf of Mexico (2,860 feet). The well system is based on a unique combination of deepwater drilling technology and existing completion technology similar to bottom supported platforms. This proven well system technology will increase the industry`s confidence in safely and cost effectively developing the future deep, geopressured wells in the deepwater environment. An overview of the Auger TLP well system will be presented with emphasis on: Predrill program, design and installation of the production riser system, and re-entering the predrilled wells and tieing back the production liner to the TLP to prepare the wells for completion operations.
