INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL
HALLIBURTON: TIGHT GAS
Intellectual Capital
Intellectual Capital is an important component in developing tight gas. Because each and every tight-gas asset is unique, that is,
no two are exactly alike, each requires a new investigation to optimize development. The amount of experience a service provider
has in developing tight-gas assets is an indicator of that company’s capability in evaluating these reservoirs and their ability to
quickly identify the most appropriate methods needed to optimize development. In this chapter, we review the industry awards,
technical papers, and patents that comprise Halliburton’s Intellectual Capital in tight-gas development. Many customers come to
Halliburton for innovative solutions after other service providers have failed, leaving tight-gas fields uneconomic or unproductive.
Developing and producing tight-gas reservoirs is not easy, or straightforward, and technical innovation is an essential element in
achieving economic success.
In the first section of this chapter, we present the industry awards presented to Halliburton over the past five years. These awards
represent customer affirmation that the technological solutions are significant and leading edge. Halliburton has consistently
won technical awards, year after year, for solutions in this area. Although some award descriptions may not specify a particular
tight-gas field, this solution has, and can be applied to tight-gas reservoirs.
In the second section, we present the primary method of technology transfer: published technical papers. These papers discuss
both the theory underlying a particular technique or technology and also present case histories describing the practical
application of these technologies. This section contains a list of Halliburton tight-gas-related technical papers, organized by
the tight-gas challenges they address, that were published over the past five years. Due to limited space, only the SPE papers are
listed here. Needless to say, there have been many other articles published by other technical societies and publishing houses.
In the last section, Halliburton’s patents related to tight-gas development are also organized by the challenge they solve.
Halliburton’s global technology research organization supports all nine of of the company’s product service lines and has
specifically targeted research and development for the tight-gas market. The Patent Board, the world’s leading business-based
patent advisor, tracks and analyzes innovation, movement, and the business impact of patent assets on a global basis. Halliburton
has been consistently recognized as a leader in technological innovation within the energy and environmental business sector.
Halliburton is rapidly developing additional solutions as new challenges arise. If you do not see the exact solution in this section
to meet your particular needs, please contact your local Halliburton representative, or refer to www.Halliburton.com, to
discuss your particular tight-gas challenges. Whenever, and wherever your tight-gas challenges require new solutions, we will
collaborate with you to create unique and customer-specific solutions for your fields.

HALLIBURTON: TIGHT GAS
The Swellpacker® isolation system is a packer that uses the swelling properties of rubber in hydrocarbon. The Swellpacker system
will swell to expand and seal the annulus around the pipe either in an open-or cased-hole application. The system provides a
single one-trip solution for effective zonal isolation in the well completion and construction process. It has no moving parts and
requires no downhole or surface activation. Its simplicity, reliability and effectiveness as a complete zonal-isolation solution has
helped operators realize significant savings in well-construction costs.
Traditional cementing and selective perforating techniques are expensive and often fail across multilayered formations. While this
case study is about high gas/oil/water operation, it is also applicable to tight-gas/water operations A major operator in Malaysia
was challenged with the problem of zonal isolation failures on its Sabah field, which not only increased total well construction
costs but also reduced the well’s overall performance. Their reservoirs comprised multilayered, marginal, thin sands, with gas-
or water-bearing sands in between, and were traditionally completed with a 7-in. cemented liner that was selectively perforated
across the individual hydrocarbon-bearing sands. The operator would experience high gas/oil ratio or excess water production
due to interzonal communication. The challenge was to find a more effective zonal-isolation technique and eliminate the
cementing and perforating process to reduce well-construction costs.
The solution developed through collaboration between the operator and Halliburton, consisted of a string of up to ten Swellpacker
systems, spaced out between the perforated and blank pipe. The perforated pipe was spaced out across the oil-bearing sands, with
blank pipe across the gas or water sands. A Swellpacker system was run below and above each oil sand, isolating it from the water
or gas sand. This completion string was then run in a single trip and set with a normal production packer inside the previous 9-
5/8-in. casing. The well was then put on production. The new completion assembly reduced the complexity of the operation and
effectively replaced the cementing of the 7-in. liner and subsequent perforating and completion operations. Significant savings
were achieved through reduced rig time and the elimination of cementing operations, liner materials, perforating runs, scraper
runs, packers and completion equipment.
Total isolation was achieved in the two wells completed to date. Well construction costs have been reduced by more than 30%,
compared with the average offset well. Further cost reductions are expected on subsequent wells. In the first case, total isolation
of the intermediate gas sands was achieved with a lower GOR and higher oil-production rate, compared with offset wells.
In the second case, intermediate water sands were sealed off completely after approximately seven days. The well was initially
put on production with a 95% water cut, which dropped to 0% during the activation phase of the Swellpacker systems.
This verified complete zonal isolation, and demonstrates the Swellpacker system’s ability to swell in high-water-cut
environments during early production.
Swellpacker systems are also used in
tight-gas completions. A case history is
presented in Chapter V, and the technology
is discussed further in Chapter IV.

Placing the well in the most productive part of the reservoir and keeping it there while drilling long horizontals is of primary
SM
importance for maximizing production. The GeoSignal measurement service provides a new visual entity synthesized from
multiple LWD measurements into an easy-to-read vector and map. Invented and developed in conjunction with the LWD
Azimuthal Deep Resistivity sensor, the GeoSignal measurement helps visualize the position of the well with respect to geological
surfaces, in real time. The GeoSignal measurement service points to the nearest boundary of the reservoir and its magnitude is a
strong function of the distance-to-boundary. With the aid of the GeoSignal measurement service, geosteering engineers are able
to visualize in real time the position of the well with respect to nearby top of tight-sand roof, water-gas contact or side edge of a
channel sand. By combining multiple readings from coil arrays operating at multiple frequencies, the GeoSignal measurement
service readily indicates the direction to, and the distance from a conductive shale, a water zone or some other nonprospective
layer or formation. The direction and magnitude of the GeoSignal measurement service, together with the GeoSignal maps,
allows geosteering engineers to anticipate the reservoir boundaries, the gas-water contact and the side boundaries, well before
they intersect the well path.
The method for computing the GeoSignal measurement service is patented. The concept of the GeoSignal measurement service
has the same technological impact on electromagnetic logging of high-angle and horizontal wells as the radial geometrical
factor has had on induction logging in vertical wells. While the radial geometrical factor predicts the signal from cylindrical
layers surrounding the wellbore, the GeoSignal measurement service describes the response of azimuthal deep-resistivity
sensors to layered beds above and below the horizontal wellbore. This helps conceptualize and optimize azimuthal-resistivity
arrays and their response.
From an economic standpoint, the GeoSignal service has a direct impact on the success of geosteering horizontal wells and
achieving maximum reservoir contact, especially in complex geology. Under normal reservoir conditions, the GeoSignal service
can sense an approaching boundary from as far away as 18 ft from the wellbore path. Determination of the two resistivity
components that are normal and parallel to the layering enables determination of electrical anisotropy in laminated reservoirs
and quantification of the associated hydrocarbon content.
The full benefits of the GeoSignal measurement service can be realized in conjunction with the InSite ADR™ Azimuthal Deep
Resistivity sensor, when run as part of
Sperry Drilling services’ StrataSteer® 3D
geosteering service. In recently
conducted commercial jobs, the
GeoSignal service has provided the
geosteering engineer real-time
indication of the direction of, and
estimated distance to the top and
bottom boundaries of a producing zone,
allowing the well to stay in-zone much
longer than it would have otherwise.
During drilling, real-time steering
decisions have far-reaching impact on

The StrataSteer 3D service has been applied in hundreds of wells, for more than 20
international clients, with consistent results.
Horizontal wells have traditionally been drilled to increase production because they
increase reservoir exposure to the borehole. Using the StrataSteer 3D service to
geosteer, clients have increased the percentage of the drilled footage that is in direct
contact with the reservoir. While most production figures are confidential, and
impact varies from client to client, increased production rates ranging from 10% to
over 100% have been achieved. In addition, there has been a significant reduction in
bypassed hydrocarbons, resulting in improved total-asset recovery.
Accurate wellbore placement reduces the need for geological sidetracks. This,
coupled with a faster decision-making process, has led to a significant reduction in NPT. One client with hundreds of wells already drilled
on its prospect realized a 30% reduction in NPT in the 100+ wells drilled using the StrataSteer 3D service.
Small geological faults cannot always be anticipated by seismic data, which often leads to borehole exits from the target zone and the
drilling of nonproductive footage. These nonproductive intervals require changes in the completion design to ensure proper isolation.
The StrataSteer 3D service facilitates rapid and accurate geological correlation so the precise location of these nonproductive intervals
can be determined, and the completion design corrected prior to installation.
The StrataSteer® 3D system seamlessly integrates a wide variety of data sources into a flexible visual environment that enables the rapid
interpretation needed to make critical real-time decisions regarding trajectory changes. Specifically, it integrates a 3D earth model,
directional well planning, a petrophysical engine and dynamic log correlation into a comprehensive well-delivery system.
The geosteering for entire projects is accomplished from RTOCs (Real Time Operations Centers) that are located either in the client’s or
Halliburton’s offices. This allows project teams to control and optimize the drilling operation on multiple assets from a single location.
An operator drilling in the Middle East needed to optimize the productivity of a difficult reservoir without increasing the total
cost of the operation.
Before drilling began on the interval, Sperry Drilling services studied offset data and developed several geologic models using the
StrataSteer 3D service. Challenged with a narrow true-vertical-depth (TVD) window, during the drilling process Sperry used real-time
Stellar™ logging-while-drilling (LWD) sensors, including the ALD™ azimuthal lithodensity sensor, for correlation, calibration and
fine-tuning of predrilling models.
Around-the-clock monitoring of the real-time LWD data in the earth model allowed Sperry’s StrataSteer service specialist to quickly identify
a deviation from offset data and to recommend an adjustment to the well trajectory. This correction allowed the operator to land the well 19
ft deeper than planned, maximizing reservoir drainage. As a result, the StrataSteer service and real-time geosteering capability eliminated
the need for a costly sidetrack. The StrataSteer service and the 6-3/4-in. ALD sensor enabled the operator to successfully hit all four targets.
