13 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERGravel is pumped and placed between the reservoir and the screens to prevent sand production. This technology has the advantages to be rather simple to implement and to be more robust than alternative solutions.

13 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERThis technology allows a very good trajectory control that is managed from the surface, based on downhole information (ie formation or fluids detection) in order to optimize hole placement in a thin oil reservoir.
Combined with the pilot hole correlation, the vertical accuracy is in the range of 10 cm. -

13 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERMPD technology uses a rotating Blow Out Preventer and a choke system driven in real time by downhole pressure measurement in order to keep a constant downhole pressure and avoid hole sloughing or losses.

12 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERTo cope with these challenges, some of the latest techniques have been implemented. In close cooperation with its Contractors and its Expert’s network, Foxtrot chose the following technologies.
"In-Field Referencing" technology
Measurement of the local magnetic field in order to improve the well trajectory and be able to hit a small target at drilled lengths > 6000 m. -

12 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERThe oil rim in Marlin reservoir led to choose horizontal drains technique. The small thickness required very accurate positioning of the landing depth and geo-steering through the drain. Drilled length : 3 900 m TUnconsolidated reservoirs requiring sand control Small oil thickness Pilot hole prior to side-track and landing the horizontal drain at a very accurate depth Horizontal drilling and geosteering

12 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERDuring this campaign, the objectives were quite complex to achieve:
• Producing both Marlin and Manta reservoirs from the same platform generates long horizontal departures and drilled lengths as well as complex 3D profiles. Installing two platforms in water depth > 100 m was not economical;
• Manta reservoir is located in deep water below the slope of the continental shelf in soils that are increasingly weak and prone to losses due to the decreasing overburden. The combination of (...) -

12 March 2018, by ADMIN-WEBMASTERFOXTROT International LDC (FOXTROT), operator of Bloc CI27 Joint-Venture, is committed to contribute to Ivory Coast Energy growing needs. This ambition requires full Management involvement in order to consolidate long term production, which means drilling exploration and development wells.
Drilling Department main duties are:
– Drilling
– Completion
– Well Interventions (workover, coiled tubing, wireline, slickline)
The activity is mainly related to the Drilling campaigns that (...)
