Case study / Swamp asset, Nigeria
A COMPLETE PATH TO PRODUCTION.
A swamp appraisal and development well was drilled to approximately 7,100 ft using the SDF BR-301 swamp rig. Drilling, casing, evaluation and completion took 75.20 days, excluding rig move.
ENGINEERED ACTIVATION
- Controlled fluid displacement to protect the formation
- Nitrogen lifting to initiate flow through the heavy oil column
- Gradual pressure drawdown to manage sand risk
- Real-time flowback monitoring and well-test stabilization
- Integrated coiled tubing, nitrogen, marine and security coordination
RECORDED PROJECT OUTCOMES
162,420 manhours worked, with zero lost-time incidents, zero accidents and zero spills. A structured cleanup and unloading programme supported the transition from well construction to production activation.
