Gas recovery on the Bongkot field has increased by 5% and well costs have decreased by 50% over a 4 year period. This was achieved by modifying the production strategy, and evolving well designs from classic multizone completions to tubingless monobore designs. Tubingless well designs have allowed a more aggressive perforating strategy, which taps gas reserves that were previously lost. Reduced consumable requirements and elimination of completion operations have contributed to lower overall well costs. This paper describes the process that led to the development of the tubingless design.
