Well Design
Liner Drilling Application – Bucharest, 28th April 20164
Well Design Casing objectives:
1) 13 3/8” Surface Casing @ Sarmatian formation top:
1- Support unconsolidated top formation
2- Isolate active shale in Meotian formation
3- Implement CwD Technology
2) 9 5/8” Production Casing @ Salt formation top:
Case off long Sarmatian formation open hole section.
3) 7” Production Liner @ T2 formation top:
Case off and isolate Salt formation section.
4) 6” OH Section
Drill 6” hole through T2, T1 and Paleozoic formation with mud weight 1.20 - 1.25 SG
NADF to avoid losses in Paleozoic formations.

What happened? (1 of 2)
Liner Drilling Application – Bucharest, 28th April 20167
• Drilled through Sarmatian and Badenian formations; encountered aggressive salt layer @
4238mMD.
• Bit got stuck in salt @ 4239mMD. Jarring and pumping fresh water pills didn’t work. MW
1.35sg (NADF).
• Cut and retrieve string; 20m fish left in hole. TOF @ 4219m.
• Pump and set cement plug above fish. Dressed down top of cement to 4150mMD, then ran
and cemented 9 5/8” casing above fish.
• Drilled out shoe-track, kicked-off from 4163m, 56m above TOF, to perform side-track #1.
• Drilled through salt with 1.73sg to section TD @ 4326mMD; MW limited by losses in
exposed sand layers below 9 5/8” casing shoe. POOH.
• Ran 7” liner, equipped with reamer shoe; stood up at 4245mMD (HUD).

What happened? (2 of 2)
Liner Drilling Application – Bucharest, 28th April 20168
• POOH liner to perform wiper trip.
• RIH dumb iron BHA, accidentally side-tracked from 4245mMD in open hole (side-track #2)
while trying to ream obstruction; POOH, switch to directional BHA and drilled ahead through
salt to casing point at 4326mMD.
• RIH 7” liner; could not pass salt layer. POOH and set another cement plug @ 4022mMD.
• Drill out cement to 4157mMD.
• RIH directional BHA, side-track hole again from 4157mMD (side-track #3). Drill to top of
salt, POOH BHA.
• RIH 7” liner with casing bit and rotating liner hanger system. Drilled through salt successfully
from 4238mMD – 4255mMD (17m); average ROP 5 m/hr. No further progress possible.
• Cemented liner in place.

Conclusions and Recommendations
Liner Drilling Application – Bucharest, 28th April 201614
• Drilling with liner (DwL) helped to cross the problematic salt layer and
facilitated drilling ahead to the targeted reservoir.
• It was first such application in Romania; promising technology to case
off problematic formations.
• Stronger bit could have drilled further; bit selection can be improved.
• 7” liner and Liner hanger system worked fine; no issues encountered.
• Some pressure fluctuations were observed while drilling, could be from
bit nozzles washing out but cannot be confirmed.
