Abstract

Formations encountered in the Kutch & Saurashtra Basin exhibits diverse drilling, logging, cementing and completions related challenges. Data scarcity in the region, demands rigorous planning for the upcoming wells with detailed analysis of hazards associated with the overburden and reservoir rocks. These challenges are identified with solutions associated with three distinct geological sequences. Integrated geomechanical analysis incorporating geophysical, geological and drilling parameters is conducted for the improvement in drilling performance, well condition and ROP.
