Description

A recent well in the Green Canyon area of the deepwater GOM required drilling through more than 15,000 ft of salt formations. Offset wells with BHAs, including hole opening devices, were challenged by excessive vibrations that resulted in drillstring twist-offs and fishing. In addition, episodes of low ROP were observed. This presentation describes the well planning, BHA selection and lessons learned while drilling.
