Water based mud with an organophilic cake FLOTHRU “Maximum Productivity Through Fluid Engineering”

FLOTHRU System concept Create a filter cake that; Is completion and formation compatible - and remains so in the presence of drilling contaminants Requires no external stimulation by acid, oxidizer or enzyme Remains integral thus maintaining a low permeability barrier to water filtration into the formation A rheologically stable, viscoelastic filter cake which generates hydrophobic low interfacial paths for hydrocarbons to flow through from the formation. Eliminates need for clean-up procedures.

Effectively bridge formation face Seal formation face to minimize infiltration Assist in maintaining borehole stability during drilling and completion operations Avoid losses during completion Go away or be destroyed prior to production RDF filter cake requirements

Water based – monovalent salts and CaCl2 Temperature to at least 125 °C Organophilic cake components Carbonate – Very fine Starch Biopolymer viscosifier Properly sized bridging agents – 80% SAFECARB Compatible with shale inhibitors – KLA-GARD, KLA-STOP FLOTHRU Description

FLO-THRU Target applications New RDF system (FloThru) Applications Open Hole Gravel Packs Expandable Screens Seal-N-Peel Prepacked Screens Slotted and predrilled liners Bare foot completions Benefits Higher return permeability through gravel packs Lower flow initiation pressures Not hindered by solids contamination No breaker required

Features & benefits Features Higher return permeability through gravel packs Lower flow initiation pressures with or without a gravel pack Not hindered by active drilled solids contamination No breaker required Benefits Eliminates time and cost of clean-ups Minimized formation damage Reduced clean-up risk Optimized formation face exposure Increased production

Breaker Systems

Why Use Breakers? Exxon-Mobil estimates that if formation damage had not occurred (or could be removed) in their gravel packed wells, they could produce an extra million BOPD worldwide. 1,000,000 x US$ 70.oo = US$ 70,000,000.oo PER DAY

RDF filter cake challenges RDF filter cake uses properly sized bridging agents to form on formation surface RDF filter cake permeability is low (0.001md) Open-hole completions do not have perforations or fractures to bypass the filter cake Filtercake may become trapped in the system causing potential flow restriction Filtercake can collapse - plugging screens Sandface can collapse - intermix with cake Cake may be trapped at gravel / sandface Filtercake solids & debris may invade & plug the completion during later production

RDF filtercake is designed to be external to the formation Formation heterogeneity may result in some near wellbore invasion Drilled solids contamination may alter bridging agent PSD Filtercake is tenacious Drilled solids, in particular may make cake more “rubbery” Completion equipment may plug Bridging agent required to bridge formation may be coarser than what is required to flow through screen and/or gravel pack Flow initiation pressure insufficient to remove filtercake Small pores Heterogeneity Low Pressure Why a Breaker?

Breaker Selection Factors that effect Breaker Selection BHT Length of open hole Fluid Density RDF formulation Completion assembly Condition of RDF Completion design Desired Result pH Salinity Metallurgy RDF components - Lubricants / Shale inhibitors What to use, when to use it & how do you get it there?

How Does Filtercake React?

Current Methods for Breakers External Breakers in the Well Bore Oxidizers Acids Enzymes Internal Breakers Deposited in the Filter Cake Oxidizers Acids Polymer Degradation Mechanisms Thermal Biological Radiation Mechanical Chemical

Factors Affecting Filter Cake Removal Drilling Fluid Components Size and Concentration of Insoluble Solids Bottom Hole Temperature Hole Angle Type of Completion Fluid Electrolyte Concentration of Electrolyte Clean-Up Technique pH Time of Exposure to Breaker Method of Displacement Length of Time Over Which the Filter Cake Was Formed

Factors Affecting Filter Cake Removal Compatibilities Between: Breaker / Soak Solution Base Brine of Breaker / Soak Solution Iron Sequestering Additive Corrosion Inhibitor Formation Rock Matrix Reservoir Fluids Completion Assembly

Measuring Breaker Effectiveness Return Permeability Fluid Viscosity Lift-Off Pressure “Lift-Off Pressure” is the differential pressure between the well bore and the formation that will be needed to generate a return flow of oil after the drill-in fluid filter placement.

Factors Affecting “Lift-Off Pressure” Core Plug Permeability Flow Rate Viscosity of Displacing Fluid Water Saturation Changes during treatment with the drill-in fluid. Wettability Water Wet Oil Wet Intermediate Case Capillary End Effect Capillary pressure is the difference in pressure across the interface between immiscible fluid phases jointly occupying the pores of the rock

External Breaker Treatment Options Multiple Stage Process Chemical Breaker Soak Polymer Starch Wash or Dissolve Solution for Bridging Agents Dissolve Sized NaCl Dissolve Sized CaCO3

Internal Breakers The rate of oxidation, and subsequent polymer degradation at these sites, is limited by the amount of oxygen present Therefore... The more oxygen available, and the greater the surface area contacted, the better the filter cake polymer degradation

Advantages of An Internal Breaker Deposited in filter cakes and thus provides greater surface area contact. Filter cake removal efficiency is significantly improved Complete uniform filter cake removal is assured Extensive treatments with a high strength acid are not required Exposure time for soak and wash solutions is reduced Plugging of pre-packed screens or gravel with polymer residue is prevented Damage to productive zone is minimized
