Comparison to Standard Arun Well (Fig. 3).

The "Big Bore" wells were designed

for maximum gas deliverability and to

number of wells to be drilled to meet
the LNG sales contracts. Fourteen
conventional 7" wells totalling $ 84

totalling $ 75 MM are required.

a 12-1/4" hole is drilled into the
top of the Arun limestone and a full

upper, leaner condensate zone, cased
off to allow only the richer
condensate zones to contribute. This
depends on the relative
permeabili ties of the exposed zones
and the objectives of the well.
A permanent, hydraulically set packer
is run on 7" tubing and set just
above the 9-5/8" casing shoe or 7"
liner top to isolate well fluids from
the production casing. A non-
corrosive, oil based packer fluid is
used in the tubing/casing annulus.

Prototype equipment design, testing,
and manufacture represents a major role
in the success of the "Big Bore"

the development of the project was
required to safely complete the wells
