1 GENERAL DATA
The main objective of MSSM-01 well is to test the hydrocarbon bearing potential of
the Upper and Lower Sihapas Formation. The trap of this section is dependent upon
fault seal. In addition to that, the stratigraphic trap is exhibited by the strong
amplitude anomaly and “a cup of palm arm” reflections character of 3D seismic in
PSTM volume also in PSDM volume. The secondary objective was to test the
Transition and Menggala Formation. The MSSM-01 well will be TD at depth of
3,250 ft on Basement Section.
The well will be drilled vertically with common drilling practices in the Malacca
Strait PSC with specification is similar with MSCM-01 well or any other wells in
Melibur Field. An access road is around 0.3 km from the Melibur-Kurau junction
road to MSSM-01 Drilling Site.
Based on the technical and economical evaluations it is concluded that the MSSM-01
exploration well is feasible to drill. The MSSM-01 Well would provide a recoverable
oil of 0.832 MMSTB, produced at initial oil rate of around 400 BOPD.
1.1. Structure
The prospect is a fault dependent three way dip closure within the Padang Thrust
Fault Complex. The sub-thrust fault throw in the Sihapas level is seen to be effective
in the trapping hydrocarbon along this trend. The Padang Thrust Fault System which
is trending northwest-southeast, strongly controls the trapping mechanism in the
prospect.
Mapping exercises show that the closure remain observable down to the Menggala
level. The presence of intra-formational shale within the targeted zones, support the
MSSM structure to be an effective hydrocarbon trap and it has been proven in The
Melibur Field. MSSM-01 prospect is predicted to have different OWC with the other
compartement in Melibur.
Detailed predicted section for the proposed infill well MSSM-01 can be seen in
Figure 1.3.
1.2. Objective
MSSM-01 well is a vertical exploration drilling well in Kurau Field with target to
find gas and oil in Lower Sihapas Formation. The primary objectives are Lower and
upper Sihapas sands and secondary target is Menggala formation. The well will be
vertically drilled with proposed TD about 3,252.7 ft MD.

WELL MAP
1.1. Introduction
The offset well of MSSM-01 is MSCM-01, MSJ-57 and MSCN-01. The casing
design of offset well will be different, Minas formation will be covered early by 13-
3/8” casing due to its uncosolidate sand properties. The 13-3/8” casing was set bellow
top Petani formation, 9-5/8” casing was set on top of Upper sihapas and 7” liner will
set on TD of the well.
MSCM-01 Summary
The well was spud on 7 January 1991 and rig was released on 27 January 1991.
Reached a total depth of 3,070 ft in 8-1/2” hole section of Menggala formation. The
primary objecetive of this well is to test the “Melibur A and B” also “Juliet” sands.
The well was also planned to test the sands of Menggala formation.
The 14” casing was pre driven and set at 149 MD. The 12-1/4” hole drilled to 1272’
(9-5/8” casing point) using 8.5 ppg mud. IEL-LSS-SP-GR-UGR log was run in the
well. Unable to pass 275’. R/D HLS. RIH with bit for wiper trip. Circulate and ream

tool. Same result. R/D HLS. RIH with bit, wash and ream from 270’ to 380’ (unable
to wash down without reaming). Spot hi-vis pill in hole. POOH to log. R/U HLS.
Unable to pass 275’. R/D HLS. RIH w/bit for wiper trip prior to run casing. RIH to
1272’ (no fill). Circulation hole clean, POOH. Run 9-5/8” casing 40 ppf, K-55 to
1264’. Necessary to wash casing down from 350’-470’ and from 510’ to 590’. Break
circulation and attempt to reciprocate without success. Circulate well clean with full
returns. Pump 50 bbls fresh water spacer followed by 540 sxs class “G” neat cement
(60% excess) at 15.8 ppg. Displace cement with 98 bbls mud. Plug did not bump at
theoretical displace at 93 bbls. Had full returns throughout job and 15-20 bbls cement
to surface.
Drill 8-1/2” hole 15 ft new formation to 1287’. Perform LOT with result is 14.1
EMW. Continued drill to 1547’ (coring point) using 9.1 ppg mud. Nine coring job
were perform at range depth 1547’ to 1783’. Trip gas was occur 565 units at 1605’
and 50 units at 1635’. Continue drilling to 2711’. Bit torquing up. POOH to 2051’.
Well swabbing RIH to 2667’. Wash fill to 2711’, circulate clean hole. POOH to
1841’. Well swabbing. RIH to 2711’. Circulate clean hole and POOH. No Swabbing.
Continue drilling to 3070’. Four wire line logging were run in the hole. They are
DLL-MSFL-GR-CAL-SP, CDL-CNL-GR, LSS-GR, and SHDT.
The well was Plug and Abandoned. The plug cemented from 2450’ – 2200’, set
balanced cement plug from 1365’ to 1065’, and 400’-200’ with 15.8 ppg cement
slurry.
During drilling, shows were encountered at several levels, but on log and sidewall
cores no indication of significant hydrocarbon accumulation were encountered in the
primary target. However, the thin oil zone was encountered in the basal part of the
lower sihapas formation. The oil is trapped in the fault-independent closure on the
chrest of fault block.
MSCN-01 Summary
The well was spud on 5 January 2006 and the rig was released on 25 January 2006.
Reached a total depth of 2,984 ft in 9-5/8” hole. The main objective of this well is to
test hydrocarbon content at Sihapas and Menggala reservoir.
The 20” casing was pre driven until 147 ft MD. The 17-1/2 hole begin to drill using
KCL PHPA mud with 8.6 ppg until 487 ft, and increased the weight to 9.1-9.3 ppg
until reach 13-3/8” casing point at 1505 ft MD. the drill was stop due to geological
reason and decided to set casing at depth 1470 ft MD. The 13-3/8”, K-55, 54.5 ppf
casing run and set at 1470 ft MD and cemented with 12.5 lead sllury 280 bbls and 69
bbls 15.8 ppg tail slurry.
The 12-1/4” hole section begin with drilled to 1515 ft or 15 ft new formation. The
leakof test was perform using 8.8 ppg mud and resulted 12.99 ppg EMW. Continued
drilling 12-1/4” hole using KCL-PHPA mud until reach depth 2357 ft MD, the top
transition zone was found at 2308 ft. Drilling continued to 2460 ft MD using KCL
PHPA with mud weight 8.8 to 8.9 ppg and found ROP slow (25-30 fph) expected
menggala formation was drilled, stop the drilling and circulate and flow check. Static
loss 0.45 bbl/mnt, mix and pump wall nut to the circulating system until mud loss
stop. The LCM was spoted before POOH string to surface and the stabilizer should
cleaned from cutting. After make up new BHA drill continue to TD at 2984 ft MD
using KCL-PHPA 8.8 ppg mud and flow check-static loss = 0.07875 bbls/min. Mix
and pump wall nut to the system, circulate and spot wall nut around the annulus
before POOH bit. Four kind of logging tools were running in MSCN-01 well:
1#Super Combo (SP/GR/CNL/LDL/MSFL/DT/LLD-LLS), 2#MDT-LFA to take
pressure and sampling fromm E-1, E-5, E-12, D2B and take pressure only from E-4,
E9 sand. 3# CST Tools, and 4# VSP.
Different casing setting depth will be applied on MSSM-01 from previous MSCN-01
well. The 13-3/8” casing will set at top of petani formation (+/- 10 ft intrusion) at
estimate 694 ft MD to cover minas formation. The 9-5/8” casing will set at top of
upper sihapas estimate at 1793 ft MD to prevent explosure reactive clay formation.
The 8-1/2” hole The 7” casing will set at TD 3495 ft.
The MSSM well program assumes 19 days will be required from spud until the well
is completed. A proposed drilling time versus depth curve for MSSM-01 is shown in
Figure 2.2. The casing program is shown in the Figure 2.1

The well program assume there is no shallow gas sand pressure in Minas Formation,
however the proper diverter will be installed prior to drilling this formation. The next
sands formation will be encountered after set 9 5/8” casing where the BOP has been
installed. The drilling crew should be ready for any gas kick/potensial gas flow in this
well.
The shale sections in offset wells were drilled with 5% KCL-PHPA without any
significant hole problems. Minor problems with tight hole wiper trip were
experienced which was corrected with an inrease in mud weight.
The leak-off test (“LOT”) at each casing seat is critical for the well design. If the
LOT does not meet minimum casing design requirements consideration will be
given to squeezing the shoe until an adequate LOT is achieved or the maximum
available LOT is determined. The next casing setting depth will be dependent on
the LOT achieved, the ECD and the mud weight required.
The loss circulation may be encountered. The treatment of loss circulation should be
depending on the type of losses. The drillers have to be prepared to pick up
immediately if losses occur and commence filling the annulus with reserve mud. The
drill string should be reciprocated and rotated to avoid packing off. Extreme care to
prevent getting stuck if total losses occur. The drilling supervisor and Mud Engineer
should ensure the availability of LCM on-site.
There may be problems with tight hole that is caused by the swelling clays or
unconsolidated shale. The potential of sticking the drill-string is high so if tight hole
is encountered while wiper trips and increased mud weight will be used. The
utilization of Black Magic/MillFree/EZ Spot mud chemical has been recommended to
get free pipe.
There is no significantly hazardous levels of H2S and CO2 have been recorded
during testing the Pematang sands formation, but Operations will be suspended /
terminated in the event that conditions are considered unsafe due to toxic gas.
The Drilling Procedure is to be used as a guidance only. Changes can and should be
made in respond to actual drilling conditions. Proposed changes to the program should
be made only after consultation with the Senior Drilling Supervisor, Senior Drilling
Superintendent with the approval of the Drilling Manager/KPSA Well Service
Manager.
1. Inspect and ensure the Rig equipment has been completed and in good condition for
drilling the all section based on the contract equipment list.
2. Well Control refresher is a mandatory for Drilling supervisor, Rig Superintendent,
Tool pusher, Driller and Assistant Driller. It will be conducted by DSS on KPSA
behalf.
3. The 21 ¼”-2M Diverter or 21 ¼”-2M Annular Preventer shall be tested on the
supplier workshop and withness with Company Representative prior to send to
rigsite.
4. Hold Pre Job Safety meeting prior to rig move from previous well.
5. Mobilize the rig to MSSM-01 surface location.
6. Ensure the supply of drill water from the water wells or river to mud pit is
sufficient, at minimum 8 bpm.
7. Ensure enough stock of mud chemicals, barite and cement at rigsite.
8. Ensure physically the complete of wellhead equipment including test tool, wear
bushing and its retrieve/running tool, adapter spool, seal, ring gasket, etc are
available on the rig.
9. Ensure with Rig Superintendent the wellhead drawing or BOP stack up for wellhead
flange/clamp sizes and pressure ratings. Ensure all BOP related equipment, spools,
adaptors, ring gaskets, etc required for BOP stack up are available on the Rig.
Ensure on the required space below rig floor the maximum height of BOP stack up.
10. Ensure the integrity of the well site including its drainage, water wells and cutting
pits.
11. Ensure float valves of all sizes of BHA are non ported types. It will be the policy of
this well for all BHA’s to use a non-ported float.
12. Rig up and conduct proper function test for rig pumps, pump lines, mud pits and its
lines, mud mixing system, all solid control equipment (shale shakers, desander,
desilter, mud cleaner and centrifuges), rotary table and top drive. Calibrate the rig
pump and calculate its efficiency.
13. Pressure test rig pump, pump lines, stand pipe manifold, rotary hose, swivel, Kelly,
Kelly cock (upper and lower) to minimum of 3,000 psi – 10 minutes.
14. Mobilize 13 3/8” casing and its accessories from the yard to rig site.
20. A 20" conductor pipe has been driven approximately 150-175’ deep.
21. Cut 20” conductor above the ground, do not cut below the ground. (cut based on
calculation maximum height of BOP’s).
22. Weld on casing swage 20” SOW x 21 ¼”-2M Flange to accept 21 ¼”
Annular/Diverter system.
Note: All item above need to be done before rig move to location
23. Nipple up the 21 ¼”-2M Annular Diverter System complete with min 150’ of 2 x
10” diverter lines equipped with pneumatic/automatic valves. Function test diverter
bag, and all associated valves for automatic operation. Pump water through both
lines to flush. After making required rig inspection, fill in D.M.G.B. Rig Safety
Check List. Record times of closing Preventer and opening Diverter valves.
NOTE: Prior to drilling any section of hole, the Senior Drilling Supervisor, Contractor
Rig Superintendent will hold a safety meeting with the mud engineers,
cementer, mud loggers, toolpushers, drillers and rig crew in attendance. The
drilling hazards, casing point, anticipated formation pressure, mud weights
and the operational procedures to be followed will be reviewed.
Note:
Drilling will penetrate 40-50ft below top of petani formation. Petani
formations are known as predominantly reactive shale/clay and probably over-
pressured. Offset wells experienced sloughing shale and significant rheology
increase due to characteristic of these formations. The first few hundred feet to
drill will most likely be sand.
No indication of shallow gas possibility on seismic interpretation for Minas
Sand formation.
Be ready with 120 bbls 11.0 ppg Kill Mud.
Never close the well or never close 21 ¼” Diverter and diverter line at the
same time at any condition. During killing procedures, if required, must
continues pump kill mud/mud/water and divert the flows thru opened Diverter
Line to the air/cutting pit.
If the gas presence, stop drilling and circulate until all gas circulated out. Stop
pump and observe for flow.
o If no flow: continue drilling.
o If there is a flow;
Open diverter valves, close diverter, and pump kill mud with
higher rate, 500 GPM min.
Continue drilling with kill mud.
If the well kicks, open Diverter Valves and close Diverter and pump kill mud
with 500 GPM min until the well is dead. Mix additional 11.0 ppg kill mud if
required. If the kill mud is run out, continues pump water with 500 GPM min
until the well is dead.
Use 2 pumps to drill with mud and line up 1 pump to water pits in case
continues killing or pumping water to the well with 500 GPM is required. Fill
up all unused pits full with water before spud.
During the trip out of hole, pump out of hole and pull slowly to avoid
swabbing.
1. Make Up 17 ½” Rock bit and 60’/90’ Pendulum BHA consisting of 17-1/2” Rock

1. Introduction
Lost Circulation can be the caused by Natural Losses or Induced Losses. Natural losses are
where whole fluid is lost to formations that are highly permeable, unconsolidated, fractured,
cavernous or vugular. Induced losses are caused when excessive pressure hydraulically
fractures the formation resulting in the loss of the drilling fluid. The losses can be classified
as seepage losses, less than 10 bph, partial losses, up to 100 bph, and severe losses, over 100
bph to total losses.
Any time lost circulation is encountered it will increase the well costs but the incremental
increase in cost is more significant with severe or total losses. In the case of total losses the
sudden loss of hydrostatic pressure can result in a well control situation or well bore
instability which could result in stuck pipe and the loss of the hole.
There are six types of lost circulation material that can be added to the drilling fluid to cure
the lost circulation as follows:
The casing design should minimize the amount of open hole between the casing seat and a
potential lost circulation zone. Also in the case of a cavernous, vugular or fractured
formation a casing string needs to be set just above the zone. The casing design should
include a contingency string of casing for the drilling of abnormally pressured formations.
The drilling program should include lost circulation prevention procedures and the lost
circulation contingency material for the well. Some of the operations that need to be
addressed are:
The effective treatment of lost circulation must consider the following items:
The assumption that the losses are on bottom should be not be applied unless the losses are
combined with a significant drilling break or an interval of erratic and high torque. The
losses could be up the hole if there has been a gradual increase in ROP for 10 to 15 feet
Kondur Petroleum S.A Drilling Program MSSM-01 Rev.00 Page 48 of 64
which increases the ECD such that a weaker zone loses circulation with the additional ECD
from the drilling break.
The first thing that needs to be implemented when seepage losses occur is to stop drilling and
circulate the hole clean at the same pump rate while it is determined if the losses are down
hole or at surface. If it is determined the losses are down hole the required treatment will
vary based on the situation.
The treatment when the seepage losses are due to a weak zone that can develop sufficient
strength with the LCM treatment and the build up of a filter cake to reach the next casing seat
(the next casing setting depth is normally not including abnormal pressure) .
The treatment when the seepage losses are due to micro fractures (ballooning) when drilling
in abnormal pressures attempting to optimize the next casing seat is more complex. The
recommended procedure is as follows:
The first thing that needs to be determined is the depth of the lost circulation zone and the
type of treatment. The following is the recommended procedure:
The method used to cure this type of circulation is similar to the partial returns except the
concentration of LCM material needs to be as high as possible based on BHA and the amount
of LCM pill pumped needs to be larger. The following is the recommended procedure:
There are two drilling operations where total lost circulation occurs. The most critical is
losing total circulation while trying to establish a casing seat at the top of a carbonate
reservoir. Since the bottom hole pressure in the reservoir is normally considerably les than
the mud weight required to drill the shale section just above the reservoir. When the total
losses occur the fluid level in the annulus will drop rapidly which can allow for an influx of
formation fluid into the wellbore or the shale section above the reservoir can slough in and
stick the drill string. This potentially serious situation should be addressed in detail in the
drilling program for the well. The following is the recommended procedure:
If the total lost circulation occurs after setting the casing above the carbonate reservoir the
lost circulation will be handled as per the section on Pressure Mud Cap Drilling.
It is critical that all trips out of the hole are conducted by applying industry accepted tripping
procedures. The following outline covers normal tripping operations for different type wells,
pumping out of the hole and pressure mud cap tripping operations. It is the responsibility of all the
Rig Supervisory personnel to ensure the trips are conducted safely without any incidents. The rig
crews must be informed of any potential hole problems and the if there is any hydrocarbon bearing
zones that can be swabbed in. The hole fill up must be monitored and recorded in the trip sheet and
any time the hole is not taking the correct amount of mud the Company Policy is “to return to
bottom and circulate bottoms up to check for any influx”.
1. Shallow Wells
There is a tendency to not use sufficient mud weight to provide a safe “Trip Margin” for trips
in shallow wells where there are hydrocarbon zones exposed.
For example the following table illustrates the relationship between mud weight, trip margin
and depth for two zones at 2000 and 10,000 ft:
The industry standard for a Safe Trip Margin is 200 psi for the shallow well a 1 ppg increase in
mud weight over formation pressure is approximately 50% of the way there while for a deeper
well the same mud weight is 250%.
This is a safety factor that is over looked in most shallow well drilling programs as it is very
common to see drilling programs with LOT results in excess of 13.5 ppg calling for mud
weights of 9.5 to 10 ppg. The mud weight in the shallower zones should be increased to
provide a higher trip margin to prevent swabbing in shallow hydrocarbon bearing zones and
better hole stability.
The following is the recommended trip procedure for all standard vertical wells:
The following is the recommended trip procedure for high angled (over 35 degrees) holes :
Well control problems can be expected at any time while drilling. Shallow gas and over
pressured horizons are possible. KPSA’s DRILLER METHOD well kill procedure to be
followed, an example well kill form is included. The following guidelines should be adhered
to unless alternatives are specifically approved.
1. After surface casing is set and the BOP stack has been run, the well will be shut-in in
the event of a kick. It will not be diverted. DRILLER’s METHOD will be used,
deviation to this should get DSS and KPSA’s approval.
5. As a guideance, maximum mud weight is 1.0 ppg below leak off test.
6. Make a 10 stand short trip to previous casing shoe before pulling all the way out.
7. A minimum 1000 sack stock barite to weight up the system to be maintained at all
times.
8. Blowout drills will be conducted every shift until supervisor is satisfied with all crews
performance, there after weekly for each crew.

Toolpusher
Communicate all directives from company man to drillers, rig crews, mud engineers,
and mud loggers.
Organize and Supervise preparation of all tools, and equipment required for efficient
operations.
Co-ordinate all work requiring permits with HSE supervisor, and company man.
Monitor Rig Floor Activities while tripping out of hole (until trip parameters normalize)
and during flow check prior to BHA being pulled to surface.
Ensure Well Safety by preparing light weight mud and/or water is available to fill hole
down annulus immediately if total loss circulation is encountered, (direct line from rig
water tank to “Bell nipple” via centrifugal pump or pit of unweighted mud which can be
pumped via mud pump down the hole fill line).
Driller
Ensure choke & kill line manifold valves are lined up & checked at beginning of each
tour. Auto-Choke to be functioned and operation visually confirmed. All pressure gauges
checked on BOP tests. Any problems should be reported to OIM/ Rig Supt. Who should
then inform the Drilling Supervisor.
All down hole equipment measured, & “OD/ID” callipered. Drawing of all tools kept in
driller BHA book in case of fishing job. Overshot and grapple inventory complete and up
to date. THIRD PARTY EQUIPMENT CHECKED IN ADVANCE TO CONFIRM
THAT FISHING TOOLS ON RIG ARE COMPATIBLE. STABILIZER BLADES
CALIPER WITH BIT GAUGE RING OR PROPER CALIPER.
Well control equipment to be checked at beginning of tour. This includes stabbing
valves, inside BOP (dart valve), and any crossovers required. Don’t forget valve
operating handles. Insure all valves intended for stabbing have adequate lifting and
turning handles to enable quick installation and closing.
Mud pit volume & mud properties confirmed with mud engineer for each individual
pit. This data should be posted on white board at mud pit area. Ensure this data is also
available in mud logging unit.
Mud loggers informed before transfers from active system to trip tank
Solids control equipment should be run at least once every week to ensure supply lines
& supply pumps are not plugged and equipment is ready to be used if needed.
Degasser & associated mud supply pump to be run daily, and kept lined up for
immediate use. When in use check & record mud weight in & out. The vacuum on the
degasser chamber checked to confirm that the mud supply to the jet is sufficient for good
gas removal.
When using Saraline based drilling mud ensure all water sources are kept away from
mud pits, shale shakers, and rig floor. Before mixing any water based fluids (cementing
spacers etc.) confirm that the pit, pump, and mixing hopper intended for use is isolated
from OBM pits.
Pump maintenance; Know the hours on expendable items used and ensure an adequate
inventory of spares is available. Hand tools required for pump repairs to be kept close at
hand to enable quick repairs.
Pre-check all rig and service company equipment required prior to the operation taking
place. Casing equipment ready, hawk jaw for tripping checked, rotary slip dies and
keepers in good condition, collar clamps in good condition and sized properly, tubulars
and BHA components ready. Service company alerted ahead of time. Service personnel
waiting on the rig, not the rig waiting on waiting on service personnel.
Delegate ground work (crane operations, roustabout work, shale shaker monitoring,
general house keeping) to others. Make yourself available respond to directives from
driller.
Mud loggers
Constant monitoring of active system at all times while returns from flow line are
directed to active system. Immediately inform rig floor if there is any change in active pit
levels. Know what pits are actually being used as active pits. Set hi level alarm at
approximately ½ of the kick tolerance amount which will allow rig floor personnel
enough time to shut in if necessary. Document in writing on the monitor screen at rig
floor & company man office any gains, losses, change of assigned active pits. DON’T
RELY on verbal directives alone, which may be misunderstood or ignored.
Monitor trip tank when tripping out of hole. Know in advance the steel displacement of
tubulars being pulled. Verify with driller if the string is pulling dry. If wet pipe is pulled
confirm that the mud saver (mud bucket) is returning into the trip tank.
Flow checks on trip tank monitored and displayed on screen to enable crews to readily
see trends of volume verses time.
Communicate with mud engineer at all times to ensure you know what is being done on
mud pits.
Drilling parameters monitored. ROP, Torque, & Stand pipe pressure changes can be
used for possible “kick” detection. Pump pressure displayed on screen time verses
pressure to help crews recognize wash outs in string.
Check & calibrate all monitoring equipment frequently. Relay all findings concerning
equipment malfunctions and failures to company man.
While Tripping in hole log volume increase per stand. Less than theoretical indicates
possible surging. Know if string float is used to calculate the volume per stand.
Check cutting samples and report to company man any indications of sloughing, or over
pressure shale
Mud engineer
Ensure mud weights in & out are checked and recorded every 30 minutes or more often
if requested.
Before transferring be sure mud loggers are notified as to what is being transferred,
where the fluid is being transferred to, and approximate volume of transfer. Mud loggers
notified when transfer operation is completed.
Inform mud loggers of actual pits incorporated in active system. When transferring mud
from another pit it should be incorporated into active system before transferring begins.
After transfer is complete it can then be removed from active system.
When mixing directly into active system calculate amount of gain expected from
chemical additions, and relay this information to mud loggers and drill floor.
Mud checks should be obtained more often than at report times. Especially oil/water
ratios (OBM) and chlorides (WBM) to help determine if mud weight increases are
necessary.
Inform company man of any materials required. Keep sufficient inventory of LCM to
enable operations to continue if losses occur. Barite stock should be sufficient to increase
mud weight 1 ppg in active + hole volume.

Communicate with rig personnel as to expected operations. Sweeps, LCM pills, and hi-
weight slugs prepared in advance.
