Batch setting of surface casing strings produced substantial efficiencies in extended reach drilling for British Gas Exploration and Production in the Armada field by reducing down time. In addition, effective hole cleaning techniques and reductions of torque and drag effects substantially improved drilling efficiencies. Lessons learned on the project will be beneficial to future operations. The paper describes the Armada complex, the development plan, drilling targets, borehole stability, equipment specification, drillstring design, cementation, directional drilling and surveying, batch setting, combination casing, formation evaluation, the liner and solids control.
