Review of Radial Drilling Technology and Viable Prospect in Mature Field Development in the Niger Delta
Abstract: A review of some Niger Delta oil field reservoirs indicates that most of the reservoirs are at the mature stages, thereby vulnerable to challenges such as; coning due to reduced size of the oil column, low oil production and lack of access to the residual oil trapped between existing wells of the mature field. Due to coning occurrences in the Niger-Delta oil field, most wells have been shut-in and a …

A Model Approach of Controlling Coning in Oil Rim Reservoirs
Abstract: Water and gas coning in oil rim reservoirs poses serious hindrance to optimizing oil production in the thin oil beds as unwanted fluids tend to replace oil in the production stream. This invariably limits the ultimate oil recovery. In this study, semi-analytical models of estimating critical rate and optimum horizontal well placement were developed to control coning tendencies in oil rim reservoirs. The models were developed through semi-analytical analysis of …

Estimation of Drilling Waste Generation for Effective Waste Management
Abstract: Drilling operations remains the second generator of oil and gas waste after production activities. They are prominent among the primary sources of exploration and production waste. Wastes from drill cuttings and mud, and obnoxious gas emissions are the major contributors of these drilling wastes. These have direct and indirect impact on both humans and the environment. Poor estimation of waste may lead to solid and or liquid loadings at the …
