The CEO of Petropars Group announced the continuation of drilling operations for the thirteenth well on Platform B as part of the Southern Pars Development, Phase 11. He noted that after the completion and commissioning of twelve wells in this area, drilling the thirteenth well was included in Petropars' plan beyond contractual obligations, and currently, the drilling of a 16-inch bore is underway.
According to an IRNA report from Petropars, Hamidreza Saghafi, commenting on the continuation of work on the Southern Pars general field development, Phase 11, stated that drilling of the thirteenth well on Platform B has begun with the aim of maintaining production and helping to compensate for the gas deficit in the country.
He added that the first two bores, with diameters of 32 inches and 24 inches, were drilled to depths of 186 and 933 meters, respectively, over a period of 15 days. Currently, the drilling of the 16-inch bore continues at a depth of 1010 meters.
The CEO of Petropars Group, speaking about the completion of work on the twelfth well on this platform, explained that it was drilled to a depth of over 4400 meters at an angle of 65 degrees. The perforation process in the K1, K2, K3, and K4 reservoir layers was carried out in two stages (TCP). Considering the sensitivity of the operation, petrophysical data from neighboring wells were used to increase perforation accuracy.
Saghafi continued that after perforation, more than 190,000 gallons of 32% hydrochloric acid (HCl) along with appropriate additives were pumped into the well across 20 stages. This operation was conducted at the first suitable opportunity based on weather conditions, and a method using a viscous directing agent (VDA) suitable for the temperature and pressure conditions was developed to ensure uniform distribution of the acid across the entire perforated interval, especially in the final sections of the well.
