Avoiding Mud Losses Using Seismic Attribute in Sisi Nubi Field

SUMMARY

Mud losses have occurred while drilling several Sisi Nubi wells. Losses experienced vary from Partial Loss, Severe Loss and even Total Loss. These losses are potential hazards for drilling, therefore a better understanding of loss cause, carbonate distribution and how to avoid these losses will enable safer and more efficient drilling operation, especially in view of the next development campaign of Sisi Nubi in 2007.
