Heavy Oil SOLUTION SUMMARY HAL1491Industry HAL1491 Industry Challenges – Halliburton Solutions Heavy Oil Classifying Heavy OilHeavy oil is characterized by: Classifying Heavy Oil Heavy oil is characterized by: Asphalitic content and usually with sulfur and metals en- trained in the oil molecules Gravity below 22 API, and in the case of extra-heavy oils, below 10 API Viscosity of 100 centipoise to greater than 104 centipoise Reservoirs often have low pressure at some time during the value cycle Heavy oil is different. Dense and viscous, heavy oil difficult and costly to develop and produce. As a result, the price of heavy oil is typically discounted in the market. There are also vast differences among heavy oil deposits from field to field and recovery factors vary greatly. Recovery methods that work well in one area may not work in another. After production begins, operators may see a wide range of results from individual wells. Such differences among individual heavy oil deposits make it necessary to customize solutions that maximize the value of the hydrocarbons while overcoming issues associated with drilling and producing heavy oil. At Halliburton, our approach integrates advanced planning, modeling and evaluation capabilities with industry-leading technologies for drilling, completion and production, to deliver the right heavy oil solution for the application at hand. Heavy Oil Challenges/Issues Despite the differences among individual heavy oil deposits, most are found in poorly consoli- dated sands. This type of formation imposes specific technological challenges, requiring extra pre- cautions to maintain wellbore integrity and manage sand production and disposal. Identify Plan Viable economic development of heavy oil requires a well-engineered drilling and completions plan, including determining appropriate production technique. The most common techniques employed today are either steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) or cyclic steam simulation (CSS). Fro
