Managed Pressure Drilling Projects
- Gulf of Mexico. Signa provided deepwater Managed Pressure Drilling engineering design, HAZID/HAZOP and logistics for Shell Exploration (SEPCO) on the Auger A-8, A-13 and A-18 tension-leg platforms.
- Algeria. Signa prepared drilling plans/procedures for wells being drilled using gasified fluids and foam in Hassi Messaoud Field for SONATRACH.
- Offshore Malaysia. Signa designed MudCap Drilling project for Shell Malaysia in East Sarawak. Overcame total losses while drilling from a moored semi-submersible.
- South Texas. Signa served as project manager for ConocoPhlliips project in Lobo Field using a new Managed Pressure-Casing Drilling hybrid.
- Caspian Sea. Signa engineered MudCap Drilling project for AGIP/KCO in Kashagan Field. Implemented the first multi-stage cement job in a high-pressure Managed Pressure Drilling operation.
- Argentina. Signa engineered UnderBalanced Drilling project by utilizing produced hydrocarbon gas and water-based liquids as drilling fluids in Huamampampa and Santa Rosa Fields for Pluspetrol.
- Gulf of Mexico. Signa completed a Managed Pressure Drilling study for a deepwater (6,000’) Thunderhorse development project for BP America.
- Venezuela. Signa provided UnderBalanced Drilling field execution for Shell (SVSA) in highly fractured, sour reservoir in Lake Maricaibo. Record time through entire fractured carbonate using annulus pressure.
- Kazakhstan. Signa provided Managed Pressure Drilling field execution for TCO (Chevron) in Tengiz Field. Drilled the highly fractured, sour, abnormal-pressure (15.5 EMW) oil reservoir using MudCap Drilling.
- Austin Chalk. Signa executed over 20 wells using Flow Drilling in Texas for Chesapeake. Pore pressure ranged from 10 ppg to 16.5 ppg.
- Colombia. Signa provided field execution for Harken de Colombia for high-pressure, horizontal project using concentric casing gas injection.
- South Texas. Signa provided operations consulting to Apache for drilling the Buda and Georgetown formations using Managed Pressure Drilling.
- North Sea. Provided field execution for PowerChokes on a Managed Pressure Drilling directional well in offshore Norway. The well was drilled from a platform in the Kvitebjorn Field, Brent Group.
- Gulf of Mexico. Used Dynamic Annular Pressure Control equipment to drill though several problematic hole sections for Shell Exploration (SEPCO) on MARS A-14.
