Triple Wellhead Technology in Sarawak Operations
Abstrak
Abstract There are substantial remaining reserves in most of the matured fields offshore Sarawak. Additional wells are required to access those reserves. However, in most cases there are limited remaining well slots available on the existing platforms to drill the new wells. Putting in new structures is costly and often renders the revisit projects uneconomic. After successful implementation of the Twin Wellhead Technology in its Tukau (ref. 1) and Baram fields, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. (PCSB), has taken a quantum leap in its pursuit for application of innovative new technology. This time it is the implementation of Triple Wellhead Technology in the Bokor field, allows 3 independent wells with 6 production strings to be drilled through 1 shared conductor. This is the first such installation in the world, and significant reduction in project cost has been achieved through reduction in additional conductors to be installed. This paper presents the development and the application of this new technology. The mechanics and methodology of the wellhead system are briefly explained. The design considerations, the actual project execution and some lessons learned from the project are also addressed.
