Major progress has been achieved over the years in the drilling and development of extended-reach wells. Targets in the range of 50k ft MD previously considered unachievable are now a reality in the Middle East and will soon require suitable means of well intervention to guarantee long-term economic viability.
In addition to numerous downhole-related challenges during the intervention phases, there are critical compromises to be managed at the surface in terms of operating capabilities, space constraints, logistics, and general equipment installation requirements.
The purpose of this session is to provide case histories and innovative ideas to address the various aspects required for successful interventions in extended-reach wells. A combination of engineering studies, software modeling, equipment selection, and innovative solutions that continue being developed over time while leveraging lessons learned from previously completed field operations.

Operators in the Middle East continue to challenge intervention thresholds. In the production enhancement arena, engineered stimulation fluid placement methods, advanced fluid chemistries, and real-time downhole measurements for guided decision making, have become essential for optimising well uplifts, achieving well conformance, delaying fluid invasion, and minimising pockets of unswept oil in extended reach and multilateral wells.
This scenario is even more demanding in wells with reservoir heterogeneity, leading operators, and service companies to jointly pursue new avenues for enhanced acidising and conformance techniques.
This session will delve into recent case studies for stimulation operations, whereby optimising the stimulation design for the subject wells which plays a key role in addressing the intervention challenges and achieving production targets.

Today, operators are demanding to increase the level of certainty on intervention operations with higher success rate in execution, so they can better estimate the associated resources, time, costs, and assess the capital budgeting and investment planning. The development of downhole tools technologies will continue to introduce advanced techniques to improve efficiency and deliver the highest real-time data that can provide the ability to adapt to the operation. A variety of technologies developed recently in the Well Intervention domain—Coiled Tubing, Slickline, and Wireline, have improved safety, reduced time and cost, and helped to overcome obstacles conventionally associated with well performance.
Advances in tool design, engineering, instrumentation, and connectivity beyond the well site are all enabling a measured and controlled scope expansion. The future of well intervention technology in the oil and gas industry is poised to be progressive due to economic needs and cost-reduction goals.
This session will focus on the advancements in Downhole Tools which will play a valuable role with smarter processes and innovative technologies bringing improved task and cost certainty, optimising cash flow in a responsible manner, and improving the way well interventions are conducted.

Carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas that traps heat close to the Earth, is helping the Earth to hold some of the heat it receives from the Sun, so that all the heat doesn't escape back into space. But CO2 is only good up to a point, beyond that point the Earth's temperature warms up too much.
Lowering the emissions sent to the atmosphere, from activities such as industrial processes, power generation, and transport, has become a major objective to remove the greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.
Managing the carbon footprint in well intervention offers opportunities for all stakeholders, as the paradigm shift to low-carbon emission goes hand in hand with low-cost operating. This gives competitive and economic benefits.
Our workshop is focused on technologies and intervention workflows enabling the reduction of CO2 and other fugitive emissions.
There is a very wide spectrum of contributors enabling lower emissions. For example: different fuels for higher energy efficiency, the use of low-emitting engines, maintenance practices guaranteeing no leaks, new equipment for packings avoiding fugitive emissions, and procedures for the elimination of venting of annuli, monitoring KPIs, and improvement programs. The committee is very eager to facilitate the sharing of best practices for much wider implementation by our well intervention community. Your best practices presentation or e-poster is another valuable step towards achieving net zero in well intervention. Bring this value to the conference and feel valued for sharing.

In this session, we will explore the impact of conveyance methods on data analytics of distributed sensing in the well intervention field. The wireline and digital slickline are known for their reliability and precision. However, the advent of telemetry technologies with hybrid cables in coiled tubing intervention has opened new avenues for seamless, real-time data transmission. This integration ensures that downhole measurements are not just isolated data points but part of a cohesive, evolving suite of technologies. In essence, downhole measurement technologies are a sophisticated and interrelated portfolio actively shaping the distributed sensing in the oil and gas intervention niche.
