Curtin University- Research Expert competence areas: Subsea infrastructure (particularly ROV/AUV) 3-Phase core flooding IFT and injectivity analysis Drilling engineering Composite pipes.
Key infrastructure and laboratories: Corrosion Centre Centre for Marine Science and Technology National Geosequestration Centre with 2- CO2 injection test sites Pawsey supercomputer centre
Important local partners in addition to industry: DnV, FMC, Shell, Woodside, BHPB, Intecsea, GE O&G, Baker Hughes, SUT, SEA, Technip,
Chevron, Fugro, Henderson fabrication facility
• 8 year project developing automated Coiled Tube drilling rig with $170 million industry funds (DETCRC) over 8 years- current proposal for $200 million to develop over 10 yrs
• Rig has drilled 2 test holes to 500m • Coiled tubing has turbine on end and drills at 4,000 rpm, 48mm (2”) • Micro-holes drilled for sampling, water circulation and separation on-board • To be developed for offshore exploration
Curtin University- Research
Conventional deep work-over Shallow work-over
• Rig control remote- 2 men- Casing over top 50 m • Tubing using composite materials 3 times greater fatigue life than steel • Composite with embedded logging sensors- no wire-line logging
required • Automated sampling of cuttings • Water separation at rig minimises water loss to formation • Automated mud circulation with polymer drilling fluid system
A reminder of composites
Field trial central Australia
Backup test labs: Drilling and mud flow, bit testing, particle tracking
• Flow loop testing mud circulation and cuttings transport • Polymer slurry replacing steel casing • Particle tracking and drill scratch testing • 4 international patents- auto sampler, auto sonde/sonde, cementing • Logging truck, 1Km cased test well 8”
Curtin University- Research
Resin development- must be elastic Proven design for carbon/glass composite with fatigue life 3x more than steel- to be
used as conventional drill pipe with no corrosion, potential for unlimited life. Embedding electronics for wire-line logging
Composite drill rod
Composite pipe development
Curtin University- Research
Using ICs, built into prototype embedded sensor pad Fibre optics communications/sensors (temp, pressure) Embedded ICs in coiled tube pipe for continuous LWD & condition monitoring
IC chip containing x,y,z
alarm thresholds
Curtin University- Research
• Exploration drilling rig acts as platform • ROVs or AUVs do seabed and site surveying for real time geotech
assessment prior to drilling next hole- provides data for soil drilling and any hazards in the proposed location
