Alhamdulillah pak sehat
semua.
Pak, saya kebetulan lagi di
Rig Pertamina EP di Aceh
daerah Rantau Pak.
Semalem baru make up
BHA, terus kepikiran dulu
pas pelajaran Bapak ada
Top drive, kelly bushing,
cuttings dsb nya Pak.
Akhirnya bisa melihat
langsung yang bapak
ceritakan waktu kelas
dulu Pak 😁

Oilwell Drilling” chapters 10
& 11

Hydrogeology Drilling – intended to study groundwater
behavior for water supply or monitoring program. Depth
~ 20 – 350 m
Geotech Drilling – intended to gathering and evaluating
earth materials in order to design and monitor
construction projects (buildings, bridges, highways,
dams, etc)
Mineral Drilling – intended to probe the contents of
known ore deposits by drawing small diameter core of
rock from the ore body
Oil/Gas Drilling – serves to bring oil/gas to surface
(deepest in Soviet Union: 40,502 feet / 12,345 meters)
Pressure Temperature
 Conductor (24-1/2”)
Keeps loose soil / sediments out of hole
Bit
Enable drilling fluid circulation and diverter
Depth Size Casing Size
system
Usually driven into place
Surface Casing (18-5/8”)
Protects fresh water aquifers
Prevents loss circulation into weak permeable
zones
Supports the weight of all casing strings and a
place to set BOP
Intermediate Casing(s) (13-3/8” and 9-5/8”)
Separate normal, transition and over-pressure
zones
Isolate zones that cause problems (heaving,
sloughing shales)
7”
Production Casing (7”)
Isolates pay zones
Protects production tubing
Techniques used to determine the ability of a wellbore to
economically produce hydrocarbons:
Wellbore cutting examination
Mud logging – hydrocarbon gases recording
Coring
Wireline logging
Well testing

Collect, Evaluate and Record all geological data
and report to the Operation Geology Supervisor:
Describe and record lithology and HC shows
encountered in the well
Witness & QC mud logging and wireline
operations
Core point selection and description (include
SWC)
Liaising closely with Rig Manager
Shown:
•Drilling Rate (ROP)
•Oil Shows
•Core Interval
•DST Interval
•Lithology
•Description
•Total Gas
•Gas Chromatography

Cuttings & HC
take time from the
drill-bit to reach to
the surface (lag-time)

Notice: similarity of
ROP with GR/SP
Cutting & Gas
Lag-time recording

Geolograph
Real-time recording
Lag Time: time interval required for pumping
samples (cuttings, oil, gas) to surface –
measured in pump strokes or minutes
Depends on:
Mud volume in the hole
Mud flow rate
Calculation needs regular check using calcium
carbide
Look at the description!
There are:

• 3 different shales
• 2 different limestones
• A consolidated sand
• Loose sand grain
Rock Type Accessory mineral
Color Fossil & Unusual Features
Hardness Visual Porosity & Permeability
Grain size and shape Hydrocarbon Show Indication
Sorting
Cementation and Matrix
 Oil Shows
Oil show description under ultra-violet light
microscope
Gas Shows
Total Gas readings using hot-wire unit (gas
detector)
Gas Chromatography (C1 – C5+)
Beware that some minerals have natural fluorescence under UV light
Sandstone with around 40% yellow fluorescence
Using UV light

Sandstone with oil staining

Under normal light
• Gas released from rocks due to
bit action
• Mud circulation carries the gas
to surface
• Gas trap positioned at Flow Line
to capture it
• A Gas Detector Unit (Hot-Wire
Unit) reads the amount of gas
(Total Gas)
• Gas Chromatograph separates
readings of C1, C2, C3, C4 and
C4+
Gas Chromatography Interpretation

 • Correlate with existing
well logs → identify a
marker above the core
point
• Stop at drilling break
→ circulate-out
samples
• If confirmed → POH
to change with Core
Mud (Lithologic) Log Barrels
• Lithology
• Sedimentary structures
• HC shows
Oil bleeding from the cores
Inform Logging Engineer with:
Logging program as stated in the Drilling Program and
number of rush copies
All Log Header Data (Well Name, Location, Elevation etc)
Provide mud samples and witness the measurements of Rmf,
Rm, Rmc
If Shop Calibration older than 3 months – reject
Minimum two thermometers for Bottom Hole
Temperature measurement
Repeat Section – 200’ over zone of interest
Inspect tool calibration procedures
Compare Before Survey and After Survey Calibrations
Compare logs to:
Repeat Sections
Offset wells and previous runs
Monitor depth control procedures and verify tieback to
previous run
Monitor logging contractor operating and recording
procedures (logging speed, tool settings, etc.)

mengapa sumur migas dibuat dengan ukuran
dari besar di atas lalu makin ke dalam
diameternya makin kecil
Setelah selesai, kirim via email ke bu Narulita
untuk dinilai – semoga dapat menambah nilai
