 Work over operations

WORKOVER

The term work over is used to refer to any kind of oil well intervention involving invasive techniques, such as wire line, coiled tubing or snubbing. More specifically though it will refer to the expensive process of performing major maintenance or remedial treatments on an oil or gas well. In many cases, workover implies the removal and replacement of the production tubing string after the well has been killed and a workover rig has been placed on location. Through-tubing work over operations, using coiled tubing, snubbing or slick line equipment, are routinely conducted to complete treatments or well service activities that avoid a full workover where the tubing is removed. This operation saves considerable time and expense.

Oil discovered 40 years ago is the basis of current oil production. The search for oil continues but projected oil discoveries will contribute little to projected oil production in 2030. The declining rate of oil discoveries makes it painfully obvious--most of the oil has already been discovered. The technology for finding oil has improved greatly since the major discoveries, yet little oil has been found in recent years. The heyday of oil discovery was from 1950 to 1980. It is difficult to avoid the conclusion that most of the oil has been found. World oil production is running flat out

So in order to meet the growing demand we need to take care of what we have in hand i.e. our oil & gas wells for getting optimum output from them they need to be serviced time to time so that proper reservoir pressure is maintained and optimum oil recovery can be achieved from the known reservoir from here onwards role of work over operations start and this is need of the Hour. In current scenario no Economy can afford to avoid these operations where every drop of oil count Reason to perform a work over Work overs rank among the most complex, difficult and expensive types of well work there is. They are only performed if the completion of a well is terminally unsuitable for the job at hand. The production tubing may have become damaged due to operational factors like corrosion to the point where well integrity is threatened. Down hole components such as tubing retrievable down hole safety valves or electrical submersible pumps may have malfunctioned, needing replacement. ROLE OF CIVIL ENGINEER IN WORKOVER OPERATIONS:Before carrying out various workover operations at the well site it has to be cleared and prepared for Rig deployment it comprises of various operations i.e. a) Clearing approach road to the well site for rig movement b) Jungle clearing in area of 70 x 40 m area for placing Activation tank, Generators, Bunk Houses etc. c) Cleaning of cellar pit d) Levelling of the ground for rig and Men movement. e) Fencing of Cluster well or SRP if either is present at well site. f) Supplying local sand for cleaning oil sludge present at site

Name of work: - Preparation of drill site for LM-150

STEPS IN DRILL SITE PREPARATION: Stacking : -

term referred

for joint Visit of Civil, LAQ, SST, Reservoir

personnel for location of well to be drilled with the help of a GPS receiver, with the help of GPS receiver exact latitudes and longitudes of the well are located on the land and With reference to the well

location required land(i.e. 110 x 110 m in most cases) is acquired with the help of LAQ department . And approach road to the drill site is finalized along with Transportation Deptt. Subsequently. After Stacking of the well on land few landmarks are made on the JM sheet with reference to the well so that it would be easy for Civil personnel to locate exact position of the well to be spudded.
PROPOSAL FOR LAND ACUISITION: -

Once this process of stacking is complete a proposal for Acquiring land is produced by civil personnel for rig deployment and approach road for movement of Vehicles and this proposal is handed over to LAQ deptt by the concerned Competent Authority
Land Acquisition

After getting proposal for the required land LAQ personnel will contact the concerned farmer to get his land for lease to produce oil from that field Normally it is for 20 yrs.

Detailed Estimate

Once the land is acquired a detailed estimate is made for the drill site depending on the Area required and Drilling Rig to be established on the land for drilling purpose . All the item rates are based on the PWD SOR for making detailed estimate of the drill site then this Detailed estimate is sent to Technical cell for checking Technical feasibility and quantity and rate verification
PR Creation: -

After making detailed estimate and getting it checked by Technical Cell a PR is created and sent for AA& ES once getting approval a tender is invited and then tender committee will evaluate tender documents and work is awarded to L1 bidding agency and Letter of Acceptance & Work order is handed over to the concerned agency to start the civil work
Civil works : HARDENING

Hardening at the drill site area is done to assist in easy movement of the heavy machinery involved in the process of drilling process i.e. trailers generators diesel tanks Carrier as most of the land used is farm land which have soft soil strata so proper hardening is required in order to attain a considerable bearing capacity to accommodate vehicle movement without any hindrance It is done in 3 layers firstly a layer of 10 cm of sand is laid to achieve a uniform level over this a 180 mm deep layer of metal of size 90-25 mm is laid in between sand is laid over this layer to fill up the void , this sand also helps in bonding of the metal this layer is properly

compacted with application of water and rolling over this layer 91mm thick layer of 40-63 mm WBM . Blindage is spread over WBM layer.

Rolling and watering is done on this layer too. Total area under hardening is 3800 Sqm.

Rolling: -

Immediately following at spreading of the coarse aggregate, it shall be compacted to the full width by rolling with either the three-wheel-power-roller of 8 to 10 tonnes capacity or an equivalent vibratory roller. Initially, light rolling is to be done, which shall be discontinued when the aggregate is partially compacted with sufficient void space in them to permit application of screenings. The rolling shall begin from the edges with the roller running forward and backward and adding the Screenings simultaneously until the edges have been firmly compacted. The roller shall then progress gradually from the edges to the centre, parallel to the centre line of the road and overlapping
Page | 7

uniformly each preceding rear wheel track by one half width and shall continue until the entire area of the course has been rolled by the rear wheel. Rolling shall continue until the road metal is thoroughly keyed with no creeping of metal ahead of the roller. Only slight sprinkling of water may be done during rolling, if required. On super elevated curves, the rolling shall proceed from the lower edge and progress gradually continuing towards the upper edge of the pavement.
Application of Binding Material

After the application of screenings and rolling, a suitable binding material shall be applied at a uniform and slow rate in two or more successive thin layers. After each application of binding material, the surface shall be copiously sprinkled with water and the resulting slurry swept in with hand brooms or mechanical brooms or both so as to fill the voids properly. The surface shall then be rolled by a 8-10 tonne roller, water being applied to the wheels in order to wash down the binding material that may get stuck to the wheels. The spreading of binding material, sprinkling of water, sweeping with brooms and rolling shall continue until the slurry that is formed will, after filling the voids form a wave ahead of wheels of the moving roller.
FOUNDATION

Size of foundation varies from Rig to rig depth It consist of three parts 1) Carrier Strip 2) Cellar pit 3) Area around cellar pit

Strips for diesel tank, Mud tank, Compressor, Mud pump etc.
