Maersk goes horizontal in Qatar Horizontal drillings have made diffi cult fi elds in the North Sea attractive, a technology that can also be exported, among other countries, to Qatar Horizontal drillings have been solidly established in the Danish part of the North Sea, and Maersk Oil and Gas’ refi nement of the technology will increasingly become a Danish export. - We realize that the technology is an effi cient competitive parameter in other countries. Only a few companies showed interest in our actual license area in Qatar, but due to the methods developed by us we anticipated the opportunity for an effective development, the Vice President in Maersk Oil and Gas’ new department for Innovation and Technology Development, Anders Damgaard informs. Maersk owns the license and is the operator in the Al Shaheen fi eld, which in the next couple of years will be extended by approximately 170 horizontal wells, in order for the oil production to reach an expected number of 525,000 bbl of oil a day in 2009. In Al Shaheen the oil is located in thin layers and is extracted by up to 8.2 km world record long horizontal wells. Refi nement in the North Sea Before employing the technology abroad, Maersk Oil and Gas has refi ned the technique in the North Sea via the PSI system, that enabled Maersk Oil and Gas to Perforate, MARGINAL FIELDS Stimulate and Isolate individual zones in horizontal drillings, and later via Controlled Acid Jetting (CAJ) in order to stimulate long, horizontal well sections. The limit for the length of horizontal wells has gradually been moved. The CAJ liner makes it possible by means of e.g. acid to stimulate wells without using coiled tubing, a tube of 7-8 cm in diameter, which with a length at 4-5 km winded up on a large drum. - In Danish Underground Consortium’s (DUC’s) fi elds I believe that 85-90% of the actual oil production originates from horizontal wells. In Denmark we have also been working actively on the development of the drilling and completion technologies, which has had great importance for the development Offshore Center Danmark Yearbook 2008 15
