Case Study: PTTEP Onshore Drilling Operations saves 12 rig hours with SLB TeleScope ICE ultraHT MWD service

PTTEP Eliminates BHA Trip and Gyro Run, Saving 12 Rig Hours in 204-degC Well Offshore Thailand

PTTEP Onshore Drilling Operations worked with SLB to drill a deviated ultra-high-temperature well offshore Thailand, where static reservoir temperatures exceeded 200°C. The challenge was to reach total depth in one run while using real-time surveys and formation evaluation data to place the well accurately and avoid collision risk.

SLB recommended TeleScope ICE ultraHT MWD service to deliver real-time downhole measurements in the harsh environment. The service performed reliably at 204°C, enabling PTTEP Onshore Drilling Operations to eliminate one BHA trip and one gyro run, reach total depth in a single run, save 12 rig hours, and reduce operating costs by USD 167,000.
