Operator saves $24 million in reduced NPT.
Isolate two deep pressure regression zones where low fracture gradients had resulted in high non-productive time (NPT) due to lost circulation and hole stability problems in offset wells.
Solution:
Install two solid expandable strings (without an upper hole size increase) to isolate the problem zones.
Value:
Dramatic reduction in NPT saved ~$24M (USD) over previous wells
