Study on Drilling and Completion Techniques of Horizontal well for Coalbed Methane

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to the unique reservoir characteristics of the coalbed methane (CBM) in China, many technical problems have to be studied and solved in the development of horizontal wells for CBM. In this paper, based on the V-type wells, we have summarized the many techniques involved in Drilling and completion of horizontal well for CBM in Binchang mining area, such as leakage protection and sealing, geosteering while drilling, remote connection, variable density cementing, Coal seam cavitation, fiberglass casing running into the well, and etc. It is pointed out that the air foam under-balance drilling will be the development direction for coalbed methane drilling technology.
