RCD (Rotating Circulating Head) use to drill in losses scenario
Dear Forum Members,
In Kuzey Marmara Gas Storage Project while drilling the carbonate reservoir section we experience heavy losses up to 650 bph through large fault or fracture that cannot be cured with non-damaging reservoir LCM materials.
One of the solution to drill ahead with accepted losses is to use RCD.
Typical well data:
9-⅝@ casing set at 1300 mMD/1150 mTVD, incl 65 degree
8-½” hole TD at 1700 mMD/1210 mTVD, incl 83 degree
Reservoir pressure: 10 ppg EMW, carbonates
MW: WBM 10.8-11.0 ppg
What is your experience good and bad for using RCD while drilling with accepted losses?
Can you please share with procedures for drilling reservoir section with constant losses using the RCD?
Many thanks
