Review of operational experience drilling wells through an underwater manifold center

· SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) Drill. Eng.; (United States)
Drilling techniques required for such developments as the Shell/Esso Central Cormorant development-which is now more than halfway through its drilling and completion phase-differ substantially from normal drilling practices. These differences are reviewed, and the constraints and procedures required to ensure safe and parallel drilling/completion operations in conjunction with the Underwater Manifold Center (UMC) production are explained. Other areas of experience discussed are the weather influence on operations, deviated drilling from a semisubmersible, rig anchoring, and underwater surveillance.
