Wild Well provides Relief Well Operations services to intercept and kill a blowout well when surface intervention or capping requires an extended period of time and/or when such efforts may not succeed.
PROJECT ENGINEERING & DESIGN
With the world’s foremost team of Relief Well Experts, Wild Well offers unparalleled Project Engineering and Design services to ensure proper planning and oversight for the safe and successful execution of the Relief Well Operation.
RELIEF WELL INTERSECTION MANAGEMENT
Wild Well provides on-site management of:
Relief Well Intersection Process
Intercept depth(s)
Constraints on relief well surface location(s)
Target and adjacent well position uncertainties
Hydraulic communication method(s)
Target ranging strategy
Subsurface drilling and well control hazards
Relief well(s) trajectories
Casing design
Drilling program
Kill program integration
HYDRAULIC KILL MANAGEMENT
During a hydraulic well kill, our team of engineers will provide on-site management of:
Operator and service company technical support personnel
Blowout and kill simulation specialists and software
High pressure pumping personnel and equipment
Kill fluid storage and transfer personnel and equipment
Mud plant and kill fluid personnel and equipment
Specialty reactive kill fluids and polymers personnel and equipment
WELLSITE SUPERVISION
Supervision of Drilling, Testing and Completion Operations for relief well intersections including the on-site management of:
Operator and service company technical support personnel
Directional drilling and MWD personnel and equipment
Borehole surveying personnel and equipment
Homing-in (electromagnetic ranging) and wireline personnel and equipment
Milling and perforating (to gain hydraulic communication) personnel and equipment
Daily and final reports for specialty intersection services
PLUG & ABANDONMENT USING A RELIEF WELL
When there is no surface access, plug and abandonment of blowout wells has become a more prominent use of relief wells.
RANGING SERVICES
Ranging services use passive-magnetics or active-electromagnetic ranging, which both depend on steel, such as casing or drillstring, in the target well. Wellbore positioning is critical in reducing risk and increasing value in well construction. It impacts the entire life cycle of the well, including the ability to efficiently plan and execute a relief well. An understanding of the full cycle of wellbore positioning activities is critical for intercepting geological targets, avoiding adjacent wells and geological hazards, planning relief well trajectories, and managing trajectory positional uncertainty to improve subsurface modelling correlations. It’s important to verify that grid, magnetic declination, and convergence are correct by surveying surface locations directly.
