Presentation Notes

First, I would like to introduce the company that I work for, Altiss Technologies. I would guess that most of you aren’t familiar with Altiss. Altiss is the sister company to Titanium Engineers which was founded in 1986. We are a company which develops unique product solutions, primarily for the oil & gas industry through the utilization of specialty materials such as aluminum, titanium, specialty steel and nickel based alloys. Many of the your companies use our products in your equipment today. Altiss is based in Houston, Texas. We perform design engineering and finite element analysis utilizing Solidworks Simulation and Abaqus. We also engineer aluminum and titanium drill solutions, providing maintenance and rental/sales. It is important to note that Altiss has signed an agreement with Alcoa Oil & Gas to be the Service and Rental provider of Alcoa Aluminum Drill Pipe in the Western Hemisphere.

ALTISS Titanium Drill Pipe for Ultra-Short Radius Drilling

• Test Fixture for Titanium Alloy Rotary Drill Pipe used in a 30’ radius re-entry well simulation

(DLS = 191° per 100’)

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Altiss has developed Titanium Drill Pipe primarily for Ultra-short radius Drilling. Titanium has been recognized as a solution to meet the needs to develop a means to increase the build rates to extend the reach of short radius lateral wells. The titanium drill pipe has a low modulus of elasticity and provides fatigue resistance much better than traditional materials (steel). This means that titanium can have an increased number of rotational cycles which can be withstood during a short radius drilling operation.

Aluminum Alloy vs. Steel Drill Pipe

• ALDP is NOT new technology –• Has been successfully used for 50 years!• Land and offshore drilling

• 50% less weight than Steel• Higher strength-to-weight and lower

modulus of elasticity than steel = greater fatigue resistance

Presenter

Presentation Notes

If I were to ask you when aluminum drill pipe was developed, I would guess that a few of you would correctly answer—in the 1950’s. Since that time, ALDP has seen widespread use—primarily in Russia. It has been used in a variety of applications—including directional, horizontal, deep-water geotechnical, and ERD wells. With this volume of usage over many years, why hasn’t ALDP received widespread usage? In my opinion the answer is Quality. Quality issues in Russia with ALDP were common—combined with the high quality production of steel pipe—why would you want to take the chance? When you think about aluminum—what comes to your mind? ALDP—soft, flexible, unproven? How is it going to hold up in real world drilling applications? The drilling needs that we as an industry did in the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s were met by steel. Steel did a good job—it is still doing a good job. We as an industry have grown used to using steel—for good reason. Today’s drilling is more complicated and difficult than the applications of yesterday. We are constantly looking for new solutions to allow us to drill further, safer, more profitable wells. What do the drilling engineers in today’s world want—in a word, NO RISK. After risk, they will then they look at value, reliability, profitability, etc. So why hasn’t ALDP become mainstream in the drilling industry—if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it—fall back to what you are comfortable with, I have been drilling for 30 years and I am not putting that (new technology) into my well. Until the operator is forced into using a new technology very few will break out of their comfort zone. How is Aluminum different from Steel? It weighs about 50% less—it is lighter weight. Aluminum also has a higher strength to weight ratio and a lower modulus of elasticity. Today, I would like to talk about how those primary differences influence the decision about using aluminum

Aluminum Alloy Drill Pipe

Consistent dimensions & length from joint to joint

• 50% less wet weight than E-grade steel pipe• Seamless extruded with no welds• Anti-corrosive under most drilling environments• Joint lengths & tolerances are more consistent

than steel

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Improvements in aluminum alloys along with a strict adherence to quality programs have changed the aluminum drill pipe world. Today’s 2014 Aluminum Alloy Drill pipe from Alcoa is produced to a very high standard. It is manufactured to NS-1 standards and is inspected to NS-2 standards in the field. A couple of interesting characteristics about ALDP is that it has a taper at both ends of each pipe body. This increase in the pipe wall thickness provides an increase in strength. The tool joints of aluminum pipe are steel—the same API tool joints that you are currently using are used on ALDP. They are joined to the aluminum pipe with a proprietary thermal shrink-fit connection. Aluminum tubes are extruded and have no welds. The extrusion process makes for consistent joint lengths—much more consistent than steel. Aluminum, because of its metallurgical composition is also anti-corrosive under most drilling environments. Much more tolerant to H2S.

Aluminum Alloy vs. Steel Drill PipePerformance Characteristics

• Lower modulus = lower stress & greater fatigue resistance in deviated well profiles

• Greater elasticity means lower reduced lateral wall forces (less casing & tool joint wear)

• Superior horizontal drilling characteristics• 20 – 30% less torque and drag• 20 – 30% less string stretch• Reduced rig weight load• Solution to many drilling problems

Presenter

Presentation Notes

I mentioned earlier about the strength to weight ratio of aluminum. In a comparison with steel, aluminum has a higher strength-to-weight ration. Simply put, this means that the length of aluminum pipe string suspended under its own weight would be about two times longer than steel. The lower modulus of elasticity means that it has lower stress & greater fatigue resistance. One of the basic criteria governing the design of aluminum drill pipe is full-section fatigue endurance. Data shows a significant superiority for ADP over conventional SDP of the same diameter. Under the same deflection in a deviated hole, a rigid steel drill pipe will develop substantially higher bending stresses as compared to the more flexible aluminum drill pipe. ADP provides an attractive solution for directional drilling by reducing drill string torque and drag, increasing fatigue life and reducing wear on tool joints and pipe bodies. The torque and drag is 20-30% less—and in many cases, more than 30%. The drill string stretches 20-30% less than steel while dramatically reducing the weight load on the rig.

Potential Economic Benefits

• Upgrade rig capacities by 30% or more• Lower weight results in lower rotating

torque for underpowered rigs• Improved overpull margin/lower hook load

• Quicker tripping & increased setback capacity on rig

• Smaller rigs can mean higher efficiency and lower day rates

Presenter

Presentation Notes

What this means economically is that by using aluminum, the rig capacities will be increased by 30% or more. There will be reduced requirements from the top drive while improving the overpull margin and lowering the hook load. Tripping with the lighter weight pipe has been show to save time as well as reducing the wear on the rig equipment. The setback area capacity can also be increased by weight because of the lighter pipe. In some cases, using a smaller rig—with a smaller day rate—will be adequate instead of bringing in larger, more expensive rigs.

Shell Brunei

Case Study: Weight/torque/drag reduction benefits at BSP

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The first case study that I would like to discuss is a deployment of ALDP with Brunei Shell Petroleum offshore in Brunei.

Shell Brunei

On shore to off shore drilling:

Longer & More complex well profiles:

Extend reach:

Increase productivity:

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Shell Brunei has reservoirs that are relatively close to shore. The potential of drilling from land to those reservoirs would greatly reduce the costs of drilling—primarily by using land based rigs. By drilling longer, more complex wells through multiple payzones in the reservoir, the increased contact with the reservoir could potentially increase production by thousands of barrels per day. Use of existing rigs to drill ERD wells will produce huge savings in Capex and Operating expenses. The reduction in weight allows the rig to skid the rig platform without laying down the drill string. This saves 2-3 days per well—an increase savings on several million dollars by increasing the productivity.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The well that was planned was extremely complex. It was given a rating of 7.48 out of 8 on the directional difficulty scale. The goal was to connect 4 different pay zones. This well was the most difficult (highest rated) well ever attempted at Shell Brunei. In fact, previous attempts with all steel drill string were unsuccessful and resulted in a lost string and pay zone. Measured Depth of the well was about 7500 meters with a vertical section of 2500 meters and a horizontal section of about 5000 meters. The well had 3 hinge points of 2-3⁰ per 30 meter dog legs. A mixed string of steel and 1800 meters of aluminum drill pipe were used to successfully drill the well.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Torque and Drag analysis was conducted comparing steel drill pipe and aluminum drill pipe on an extended reach well in Brunei. The analysis compared two similar dog legs in a “snake well”. 1800 meters of aluminum drill pipe was inserted in the well to drill from 6179 to TD at 7485 meters. The ALDP was used on the bottom of the drill string, beneath the steel pipe. This 1800 meters constituted about 24% of the drill string.

Advantages of ALDP in Shell Brunei Drilling

•Successfully completed well with 4 integrated pay zones and production targets

•ROP +11 %•WOB +38 %•Torque reduction between 10 and 35 %•A drag reduction of about 10 %•Contact side force is locally reduced by more than 50 % •Avoided sinusoidal buckling while running in the hole•Transfer of axial force down hole to apply WOB was good, even though ALDPs were supposedly buckled while drilling.

•Higher safety margins: +25k lbs margin of over pull and +2200 ft/lbs margin of torque.

•Stretch is similar for the 2 drill strings –could be reduced per modeling (~30%+)

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The results of using ALDP in this well, according to Shell Brunei: First—the well was successfully drilled—remember that the previous attempts were not successful. The well was drilled through 4 integrated pay zones. Increase in ROP by 11% WOB was higher with ALDP over SDP by 38% Field data evidence combined with modeling suggest that a torque reduction between 10 and 35% using ALDP. A drag reduction of about 10% was achieved. Contact side force with ALDP is locally reduced by more than 50% compared with SDP. Avoided sinusoidal buckling while running in the hole. Transfer of axial force down hole to apply WOB was good ALDP, even though the ALDP was supposedly buckled while drilling. ALDP enabled higher safety margins over SDP: +25k lbs margin of over pull (before reaching the tensile yield of the drill string) and +2200 ft/lbs margin of torque (before reaching the limit of the make up torque). The stretch is similar for the 2 drill strings (both SDP & ALDP), but could be reduced per modeling with a larger percent of string using ALDP by about 30%. I would just mention that Shell has moved this drill string into New Zealand to continue their drilling program with aluminum pipe and they have placed an additional order for a drill string for Brunei which will be delivered in the next few months.

Presentation Notes

K&M Technology analyzed drilling several wells for Alcoa. Let’s look at some of those examples.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

In a comparison between all steel drill strings and mixed strings containing both steel and aluminum drill pipe, K&M found some interesting results. Differences will be found depending on the type of well being drilled, the length, etc. They determined that hookloads could be reduced by 16-32%. String tensile Margin Improvement of 5-39%. Maximum overpull capacity increase of 0-100% Torque reduction of 20%-42% Torque Margin Improvement of 3-39% Bending Stress Reduction up to 24% Cantilever Load Reduction up to 28%

Case Study 1 – Long 3D ERD Well

• Existing Unmanned Platform• Relatively small rig• Significant azimuth changes• TD of 24,500’• No over pull margin

Presenter

Presentation Notes

A long 3D ERD well was planned. Most of the well path was horizontal, but there were significant changes in azimuth required to access multiple zones. The well presented an opportunity to access additional reserves from an existing unmanned platform. An already complex well was made more challenging with a relatively small rig and the only remaining slots required the cantilever to be skidded fully out over the platform. Planned TD of the well was 24,500 feet Tension on the string while picking up at TD would have been right at the capacity of 5” 19.5# S-135 There would be no overpull margin at all


Azimuth changesPlanned well length/depth

Presenter

Presentation Notes

With the planned TD of the well at 24,500 feet the tension at the pipe body was at the yield limit, possible solutions were: Run a pipe with higher tensile capacity or- Reduce tension with lighter weight pipe Upgrading from 5” 19.5# to 5” 25.6# pipe was not feasible, as the rig (with cantilever fully skidded out) was limited to 620k lbs hoisting limit Upgrading to 5 ½” pipe would exceed the rig limit, and would also raise ECD Running a tapered 5” x 4 ½” string would reduce tension, but would increase pump pressure.


Presenter

Presentation Notes

Maximizing the benefit of Aluminum pipe requires optimal string configuration There is a trade-off between the weight reduction of aluminum and the increased buckling tendency In this well with the high weight on bit typically run, the aluminum pipe would be helically buckled while rotary drilling While reviewing potential options for placing the aluminum, it was determined that putting the ALDP in the middle portion of the string eliminates buckling and provides all of the benefits of aluminum, without creating a buckling problem In the medium angle tangent, the compressive load is lower. In this well, the best position for aluminum pipe is in the middle of the string.


• Over pull• Increased TD potential• Tensile limit• Make-up torque• Buckling

Presenter

Presentation Notes

With the steel x aluminum mixed string, tension is more than 50k lbs below the limit of the steel pipe, and more than 150K lbs below the aluminum limit With the mixed string, a TD of 30,000 feet is feasible (while staying below the tensile limit and below the rig hoist limit) With a full string of 5” steel, both the tensile limit and the rig limits would be exceeded With a string of 5 ½” x 5” steel, tension would be below limit but the maximum pick up weight would exceed rig capacity With a string of all steel, torque is right at the make-up torque limit. With the mixed string torque is 20% lower and is more than 5k ft-lb below the make-up torque of both the steel and aluminum pipes. For both the steel and mixed strings there is no helical buckling (while rotating) with up to 20k lbs weight on bit. In the combined string, the aluminum pipe is never buckled and bending stress on the aluminum pipe never exceeds fatigue endurance limits.

Case Study 2 – Deep 60° Tangent Well

• A 60° well with a long 12¼” hole section.• Limiting factors

• High string tension and pick-up weight • Limited over pull capacity• Excessive torque (requiring a top drive

upgrade).• Excessive doglegs occurred in the shallow

build section (up to 6°)

Presenter

Presentation Notes

A 60⁰ Tangent well was planned, with a long 12 ¼” hole section. The limiting factors in the well design were high string tension and pick-up weight and limited overpull capacity, along with excessive torque (requiring a top drive upgrade). Pump pressure was also a concern An already complex well was made more challenging when excessive doglegs occurred in the shallow build section (2.5⁰ build-rates were planned, but reached as high as 6⁰ at one point).


• 5 ⅞” drill pipe • Torque and Drag• Make-up torque• Top drive upgrade• Backreaming

Presenter

Presentation Notes

The 60⁰ tangent well was planned with 5 ⅞” drill pipe (for the pressure benefit, compared to 5 ½”) Based on offset wells friction factors, torque & drag modeling predicted torque >60k ft-lbs. This exceeded both the make-up torque of the pipe and the capacity of the top drive on the rig. To mitigate the high torque, a top drive upgrade was required and non-rotating drill pipe protectors were also required. Due too the excessive pick-up tension, backreaming from TD would be necessary. Initial calculations showed torque would slightly exceed the make-up torque of the pipe and would be right at the limit of the top drive (at 120 rpm). However, the unplanned shallow DLS and tortuosity in the lateral caused the torque to exceed both make-up and the top drive limit Running a string of 5 ⅞” steel x 10,000 feet 5 ⅞” aluminum pipe allows the well to be drilled – despite the excessive DLS and without a costly top drive upgrade and without supplemental torque reducing tools.


Buckling of the string was not a serious concern. Tension was a greater risk than buckling. Aluminum pipe (which has a lower tensile limit) is placed at the bottom of the string where tensile load is lowest.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

In this well, buckling of the string was not a serious concern. Tension was a greater risk, so the aluminum pipe (which has a lower tensile limit) is placed at the bottom of the string where tensile load is lowest. With the unplanned severe DLS, pick-up weight at TD would be excessive. With the mixed string, pick-up weight would be in a suitable range for the derrick and draw works on the rig (and it would be 250K lbs lower compared to the full string of steel—a 27% reduction). Pick-up weight with a full string of steel pipe would exceed the tensile limits of the pipe body. With the mixed aluminum string, tension remains safely below the pipe limits. Although aluminum pipe has lower tensile strength than steel, in this case the maximum tension on the aluminum pipe never exceeds 25% of the tensile limit of the pipe. The combined string would also allow longer/deeper wells to be drilled with the same rig, without upgrades.

Case Study 3 – “S” Shaped ERD Well• At TD of the well both

torque and string tension were high

• Torque exceeded the make-up torque of 5” NC-50 steel drill pipe tool-joints

• Tension exceeded the tensile limits of the pipe with zero over pull margin

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Welll #3 is an S shaped ERD Well At the TD of the well (8 ½” hole section), both torque and string tension were high. Torque exceeds the make-up torque of 5” NC-50 steel drill pipe tool joints. Tension would exceed the tensile limits of the pipe, and there would be zero over-pull margin.

Case Study 3 – “S” Shaped ERD Well

Running a steel x aluminum string:• Reduces tension (thereby reducing

brake-band force)• Allows the well to be drilled with

most of the rig’s stock of 5” 19.50#

• Upgrading the 5” pipe to premium tool-joints (i.e. XT-50) not required

• >50k lbs overpull at margin TD• Aluminum pipe was placed on the

bottom of the string – to realize maximum reduction in surface tension

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Running a combined steel x aluminum string: Reduced tension (thereby reducing brake-band force) Allows the well to be drilled with most of the rig’s stock of 5” 19.50# Upgrading the 5” pipe to premium tool-joints (i.e. XT-50) not required >50k lbs overpull margin at TD (overpull margin with the combined string is higher than for either a full steel or full aluminum string). In the well, aluminum pipe is placed on the bottom of the string—to realize the maximum reduction in surface tension.

Case Study 3 – “S” Shaped ERD Well

• Planned TD of 21,000 feet

• Max tension on steel >100k lbs below yield

• Max tension on aluminum >200k lbs below yield

• >50k lbs overpull

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Planned TD of the well was 21,000 feet With the same level of friction as in previous wells, tension on the string while picking up at TD would have been right at (or above) the capacity of 5” 19.5# S-135 There would be no overpull margin at all. With a steel x aluminum string the maximum tension on the steel portion of the string is >100k lbs below tensile yield Tension on the aluminum pipe is >200k lbs below tensile yield >50k lbs overpull is available all the way to TD

Case Study 4 – Vertical Curve with Spudder Rig

Multiple wells were planned at a range of TVD depths• A significant cost savings could

be realized if the vertical (and curve) sections can be drilled with smaller, less expensive spudder rigs

• The TVD of the lateral determines the horsepower and lifting capacity requirements of the spudder rig.

• If drill string tension could be reduced, a smaller rig could be utilized

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Maximum achievable vertical depth is often limited by either string tensile limits or by rig capability Smaller rigs (spudder rigs) have limited hoisting capacity restricted by either derrick hoist capacity or power requirements A significant cost savings can be realized if the vertical (and curve) sections can be drilled with smaller, less expensive spudder rigs Aluminum pipe has a lower tensile rating than equivalent sized steel pipe But, aluminum has a much greater strength-to-weight ratio compared to steel (length of a tubular that can be suspended vertically before the tensile limit is exceeded) The TVD of the lateral determines the horsepower and lifting capacity requirements of the spudder rig If drill string tension is reduced, a amaller (less expensive) rig can be utilized.

Case Study 4 – Vertical Curve with Spudder Rig

• With a conventional steel drill string, pick-up hook loads would exceed 150k lbs at a depth of 5,000’ and would exceed 225k lbs at a depth of 10,000’

• With an aluminum drill string, the pick-up hook load would be less than 120k lbs at 5,000’ and less than 160k lbs at 10,000’

• For any given rig hoisting capacity, aluminum can reachtwice the depth of a steel string

Vertical section is drilled with a full aluminum drill-string

Presenter

Presentation Notes

With a conventional steel drill string, pick-up hook loads would 150K lbs at a depth of 5,000 feet and would exceed 225k lbs at a depth of 10,000 feet With an aluminum drill string, the pick-up hook load would be less than 120k lbs at 5000 feet and less than 160k lbs at 10,000 feet For any given rig hoisting capacity, aluminum can reach twice the depth of a steel string With the lighter weight aluminum drill pipe, the draw works power requirement are reduced by up to 30% With rigs with limited hoist capacity, aluminum pipe takes advantage of aluminum’s far greater strength-to-weight ratio

IADC/SPE 128910Can Aluminum Drill Pipe Extend the Operating Envelope for ERD Projects?

Oil Industry: How to extend the limits from rig capacities without significantly increasing cost?

Objective: Determine whether by reducing string weight and changing the material properties of the drill string, it is possible to extend the operational envelope of the drilling rig; without having a detrimental impact on the drilling process.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Baker Hughes performed a field trial to answer the following questions: 1- Can Aluminum Drill Pipe Extend the Operating Envelope for ERD Projects? 2- How can the oil industry extend the limits from rig capacities without significantly increasing cost? 3- The Objective: Determine whether by reducing string weight and changing the material properties of the drill string, it is possible to extend the operational envelope of the drilling rig; without having a detrimental impact on the drilling process.

Baker Hughes• Derrick load• Weight reduction• Strength-to-weight ratio• Torque and drag• Fatigue life• Dog legs• Casing wear• Drill string axial and bending stresses• Stretch• Flexibility

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Advantages of aluminum drill pipe—according to BH Equivalent derrick load can be reduced. This means an opportunity to reach extended targets from the same locations and without expensive rig upgrades—top drives and pumps Drill string weight reduction and higher strength to weight ration Reduction in drill string torque and drag Tubulars with improved fatigue life Maximum permissible dog legs Decrease of casing wear Drill string axial and bending stresses are less due to larger buoyancy factor and smaller drag forces Stretch under drill string’s own weight is similar or smaller than that of SDP Greater flexibility that allows increased build angles for side tracking.

• Buckling

• High pH

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Drawbacks of Aluminum drill pipe Higher buckling tendency Susceptibility to corrosion with pH values in excess of 11.0 for prolonged periods

Aluminum DP Considerations

• Tapered slips should be used• ALTISS currently engineering slips and/or inserts which

are rentable and may easily swap out for existing equipment

• Pipe exposure temperatures should stay below 300°F/150°C for optimum performance/life

• pH exposure should not exceed 11.0 for extended periods.

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Some important considerations for aluminum drill pipe: Tapered slips which will fit the angle of the taper on the neck of the drill pipe should be used. These slips should have a grit-faced surface on the inserts. Aluminum is susceptible to temperatures in excess of 300⁰ F. It should not be used in high temperature environments The pH exposure should not be above 11.0 for extended periods of time.

Conclusions• Lighter weight aluminum pipe, when properly

positioned in the string, can significantly reduce torque & drag loads as well as reduce tripping time and setback weight.

• This can allow longer, more complex wells to be drilled without expensive upgrades to equipment

• Aluminum Drill Pipe can provide significant savings by permitting use of smaller, less expensive rigs in many well plans

• Aluminum Drill Pipe may be leased to provide direct cost allocation to the well.
