09:00 Chairman’s Welcome

09:15 Project Management Fundamentals For The Successful Delivery Of HP/HT Wells

• Selection of project and technology partners: Understand the importance of both the operator and service provider establishing a project management structure that is customised to meet the specific product challenges
• Defining realistic objectives & timescale for execution to overcome current rig & service market constraints
• Understand how the success of the QA/QC process depends on extensive and accurate communication between all project team members

12:00 Interactive Panel Discussion: Advanced Techniques For Working In Depleted HPHT Reservoirs

This interactive panel discussion will give you the opportunity to ask the experts about experiences with drilling in HPHT depleted reservoirs. This is your chance to find out about the techniques and technologies that are most effective and will include discussions around:

• Accurately predicting the pressure in a depleted reservoir
• Managing the risks of infill drilling
• Using reservoir modelling effectively to plan optimum well placement

Interactive panellists include:

13:45 Further Development Of Skua, A Mature Triassic HPHT Field In The Central North Sea

• Hear an overview of the Skua field
• Redeveloping Skua: Drilling through a differentially depleted reservoir, facing highly uncertain reservoir pressure
• Examine the work that has been done to date in identifying the key subsurface uncertainties and challenges in further development opportunities and reservoir management

14:30 Halliburton Sperry Drilling: Pushing The Envelope In HPHT LWD And Drilling Systems

• Understand why LWD formation evaluation is critical to acquiring data for use in evaluating the reservoir
• Reduce the inherent risk and time associated with FE data acquisition in HPHT wells via LWD in HPHT wells
• Recent case histories will outline the benefits and significant cost savings associated with logging while drilling systems for HPHT wells

15:45 Interactive Troubleshooting Discussion: Identifying The Technology Gaps: Classification, Design Methodologies And Technical Challenges In Ultra Deep HPHT Completions

As operators’ limits are being pushed further to 20,000 to 30,000 psi and 400 to 500°F, the technology gaps associated with this new HP/HT frontier are not limited to completion equipment. In this interactive session you will discuss the key technology gaps in the following areas:

1. Testing facilities
2. Safety measures
3. Seals
4. Cement design and performance
5. Polymers and metallurgy
