OSTI ID:205523
This paper gives a short introduction to the Statfjord field and background for extended-reach-drilled (ERD) and horizontal wells. The authors reviewed experiences with completion and workovers of horizontal and ERD wells on Statfjord. Ten horizontal wells with horizontal sections of up to 2,150 m and four ERD wells with a horizontal reach of up to 7,290 m were completed. Several wells were recompleted, and they performed interventions for logging purposes. They describe the development of the completion and workover techniques since the first horizontal well was drilled in 1990 to April 1994.
