Instructions: Choose the best answer for each question.
1. What is the primary goal of partial penetration in well drilling?
a) To drill through the entire reservoir, regardless of its composition.
Incorrect. Partial penetration aims to target specific zones within the reservoir.
Correct! Partial penetration focuses on the "sweet spot" of the reservoir.
While this is a benefit, it's not the primary goal.
This is a benefit of partial penetration, but not the primary goal.
2. Why is partial penetration particularly useful in heterogeneous reservoirs?
a) It allows for drilling through all types of rock formations.
Incorrect. Heterogeneous reservoirs have varying rock types, and partial penetration allows for targeting specific zones.
Correct. Partial penetration helps to focus on the most productive zones.
Incorrect. Detailed characterization is crucial for successful partial penetration.
This is a potential benefit, but not the primary reason for its usefulness in heterogeneous reservoirs.
3. Which of the following is NOT a type of partial penetration technique?
a) Single-stage partial penetration.
Correct. This is a type of partial penetration.
Correct. This is a type of partial penetration.
Correct. This is a type of partial penetration.
Incorrect. Horizontal drilling is a separate technique, though it can be combined with partial penetration.
4. What is a major disadvantage of partial penetration?
a) It can lead to increased drilling and completion costs.
Incorrect. Partial penetration usually reduces costs.
Correct. Accurate reservoir characterization is crucial for success.
Incorrect. It usually increases well life by focusing on the most productive zones.
Incorrect. Partial penetration is particularly effective in heterogeneous reservoirs.
5. Which of the following is NOT a potential advantage of partial penetration?
a) Increased production rates.
Correct. Partial penetration usually leads to higher production.
Correct. This is a benefit of targeting specific zones.
Correct. This is a benefit of drilling less.
Incorrect. Partial penetration can actually help reduce the risk of reservoir damage.
Scenario: Imagine a reservoir with three distinct zones:
Task:
1. Identifying the Sweet Spot: Zone A would be the most desirable "sweet spot" to target with partial penetration. It has the highest oil saturation, excellent permeability, and the lowest water content, indicating high productivity and minimal water production. 2. Applying Partial Penetration: A single-stage partial penetration technique would be most suitable in this scenario. This would involve drilling a wellbore directly to Zone A, bypassing Zones B and C. Potential Benefits: * Maximize oil production by targeting the most productive zone. * Minimize water production and potential reservoir damage. * Reduce drilling time and costs compared to drilling through the entire reservoir. Potential Challenges: * Accurate reservoir characterization is crucial to accurately identify the location of Zone A. * Monitoring well performance to ensure efficient drainage of Zone A, as it may not be fully penetrated.
