Hand-Over Document

c) To facilitate smooth transitions between operational phases.

c) Company financial reports.

b) Drilling to Production/Completion.

c) Promotes collaboration and reduces communication gaps.

b) The geological formations encountered.

Here's a possible solution for the exercise:

1. Chosen Sections:

• Well Information
• Drilling Data
• Completion and Testing Data
• Production History
• Other Relevant Information

2. Specific Information:

• Well Information:
  • Well Name and Number: Necessary for clear identification and tracking.
  • Location Coordinates: Essential for site access, logistics, and potential environmental impact assessment.
  • Wellbore Trajectory: Understands the well path to determine potential challenges (e.g., tight bends, deviations).
• Drilling Data:
  • Drilling Logs (mud logs, wireline logs): Provides insights into geological formations, fluid pressures, and potential hazards.
  • Formation Tops and Lithology: Understands the reservoir characteristics, including potential production zones.
  • Drill String and BHA Information: Provides information about the equipment used and any technical challenges encountered during drilling.
• Completion and Testing Data:
  • Completion Procedures and Materials: Understanding how the well was completed for production (e.g., casing, tubing, packers).
  • Testing Results (pressure, flow rates, fluid analysis): Evaluates the well's potential productivity and reservoir characteristics.
  • Production Equipment and Wellhead Configuration: Understanding the installed equipment and its operational parameters.
• Production History:
  • Production Rates and Fluid Analysis: Provides a baseline for assessing well performance and potential changes.
  • Reservoir Performance Data: Understanding the reservoir behavior (e.g., pressure decline, fluid properties) is critical for production planning.
  • Well Performance Issues and Intervention History: Identifies any past problems, interventions, or potential risks for future operations.
• Other Relevant Information:
  • Safety and Environmental Data: Ensures compliance with regulations and identifies any potential environmental concerns.
  • Regulatory Permits and Approvals: Confirming the necessary permits are in place for ongoing operations.
  • Existing Well Reports and Drawings: Provides valuable documentation for understanding the well's history and design.

3. Importance for Production Engineer:

• Well Information: Allows for accurate identification and tracking of the well, as well as planning logistics and understanding potential risks.
• Drilling Data: Provides crucial information about the reservoir and wellbore characteristics, essential for production planning and risk assessment.
• Completion and Testing Data: Determines the well's productivity potential and guides operational decisions for equipment and production strategies.
• Production History: Provides insights into previous performance, enabling efficient management, potential optimization, and risk mitigation.
• Other Relevant Information: Ensures compliance with safety and environmental regulations and provides a comprehensive understanding of the well's history and potential challenges.

This is just an example, and the specific information included in a HOD will vary based on the well's stage of development and the specific needs of the transition. However, the key is to ensure that the document provides all the necessary information for a smooth and informed hand-over.
