Champion is the largest oil and gas field in the Sultanate of Brunei representing 40% of the
reserves of the country. The Champion Oil and Gas Field is located 40km north-west of Bandar
Seri Begawan, at a water depth of approximately 30m in the South China Sea. It was
discovered in 1970 by drilling the Champion-1 well and currently has more than 300 wells,
drilled by 40 different platforms.The offshore field is owned and operated by Brunei Shell
Petroleum Company (BSP), a company equally owned by the Government of Brunei and Shell.
Champion-11 Field is located offshore Brunei in Kuala Belait Delta Province, approximately 100
km from Kuala Belait in some 80 water depth and was discovered in 2016. The field is a simple,
low relief, dormal structure bounded by two E-W trending, north heading growth sealing faults,
covering an area of 6km x 3km.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
The C-11 2.80 reservoir has a sizeable gas cap and the original reservoir pressure is assumed
as at bubble point pressure. The main drive mechanism of the reservoir is depletion drive
supplemented by a weak aquifer and the gas cap whereby the energy for the transport and
production of reservoir fluids is provided by the expansion of gas either in the gas cap or inside
the oil phase, or from water moving in from the aquifer below and displaces the oil. The aquifer
and gas cap drives become strong at the later stage of the reservoir life due to water injection
scheme and thus become the primary drive mechanisms. However, due to continuous
depletion, both water injection and gas injection will be exercised to produce 300 MMstb stock
tank oil initially in place (STOIIP) with expected recovery of 120 MMstb. From a survey
conducted, the properties of C-11 Rx 2.80 are stated in Table 1.

The Champion field is highly compartmentalised, characterised by large areas of fault / dip
closures, from the seabed downwards. Combined with the multilayered nature of the
stratigraphic succession, striking sub-parallel to most of the faults, the numerous hydrocarbon
traps are relatively small and generally stacked. Block widths range from 100- 450 metres

TYPE OF DRILLING RIG
There are many considerations that need to be taken in choosing the right type of drilling
rig to be used in a drilling project. We should consider the aim of drilling well, the trajectory and
price, the geographical location of well, the depth of well, movement flexibility and others. The
objective of choosing the right drilling rig will ensure a smooth drilling operation and minimize
the cost.
The rig selected to drill Champion-11 Rx 2.80 is jack up rig. Jack up rig consist of barge
shaped hull with retractable leg that can move up and down by means of gear and jacked onto
the seabed. Jack up rig is a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) suitable for shallow water
depth. Since the field has water depth of 80m, jack up rig is the most suitable type to be used
compared to another mobile offshore drilling unit type. A jack up rig is less expensive to build as
compared to other type of offshore rig […]. The jack up type used is Trident IX Jack-up rig as
shown in Figure. The advantages of jack up rig includes […]:

Wellbore Trajectory
Champion-11 is to be drilled for six (6) producing wells and two (2) injection wells. The
producing wells will be deviated and vertical wells while the injection wells are to be drilled
vertically. Each of these wells has deliverability of 2650 bbl/d.
The first two (2) production well will be drilled as vertical well, decision make as the
production become lower the production well will be operated to change it to an injection well. J-
shaped directional drilling will be used to the remaining four (4) production wells as it is the most
common and simple deviated drilling. The reason for drilling directionally for the production wells
is mainly to allow better well coverage from a central location. The decisions make will reduce
costs of having multiple platforms for different production and injection wells. Other than that,
potential for casing damage can be reduced to minimum as C11-Rx 2.80 is located on a fault.
Build up rate for deviated well is chosen not to be set above 4° per 100 ft to reduce dogleg. The
kick off will start at the point of which the formation is stable and do not cause drilling problems.
For injection wells, the wells are to be drilled vertically. This is for the purpose of
secondary recovery by waterflood or gasflood to maintain the reservoir pressure depletion and
to sweep oil from the point of injection towards the production well.
Drilling mud chosen for this project is Water Based Mud. It is due to water based mud is easy to
make, less difficult to maintain and the most important thing is it is relatively low cost. Besides
that, modern formulations of water based mud are non-toxic, it has minor effect on marine life
and fast recovery. When water based mud is discharged from an offshore platform, it disperses
quickly and its concentration diluted to below toxic level.

Casing Design
Selection of Bit Size Based on the size of Casing. Referred to API Table
11
1) Production casing 7 in ; coupling size = 7.656-in
2) Bit size to drill a hole in which this casing can be run, 8-5/8-in
4) The intermediate casing size through which the above bit would pass, 9-5/8-in
5) Bit size to drill a hole in which the 9 5/8-in casing can be run, 12-¼-in
7) The surface casing size through which the above bit would pass, 13-3/8-in
8) The bit size to drill a hole in which the 13 3/8-in casing can be run, 17-½ -in
10) The conductor pipe size through which the above bit would pass, 18-5/8-in
11) The bit size to drill a hole in which the 18 5/8-in conductor pipe can be run, 24-in.

Listed below is the specification of casing design for C11-Rx 2.80 based on formation pore
pressure, casing setting depth, casing grade selection and costing.

Casing Properties
There are three basic loads/forces which the casing is subjected to:
1.Collapse
2.Burst
3.Tension
Casing needs to withstand loads applied during installation, drilling process and production.
Based on the calculation of for the loads above , it is wise to choose K55 casing grade for this
project by referring to the API Casing grade table. K55 oilfield casing pipe is very similar to J55,
there is no significant difference in the chemical composition and yield strength, however the
ultimate tensile strength of K55 is higher than J55 steel, K55/J55 are 655MPa and 517MPa
respectively.
K55 has better mechanical and thermal fatigue resistance and crack resistance than K55. For a
thermal production well, the heavy wall K55 casing is appropriate instead of J55 casing. The
former has a better thermal fatigue resistance property than the latter.
In present sales, the selling price of theses two types is generally kept the same, their
application is very similar. In the oil drilling, K55 casing or tubing is a relatively common type.
Cementing Design
The casing cementation will follow the requirement set out in drilling operations manual, drilling
engineering manual and well design manual as well as local guidelines. The casing grade
chosen is G-grade as it is very effective for this type of well. Class G Oil Well Cement, as one of
basic oil well cements, is one of special hydraulic binding materials. It can be used together with
accelerator for setting or set-retarding admixture, which can be suitable for the larger range of
well depth and the bigger range of temperature. The other reason is also this cement type has
good impermeability, stability and corrosion resistance when its concretes are solidified.

Facilities Design
Selection of Platform
For Champion field, the best selection would be jacket platform. This is because the
offshore Brunei is shallow which is only 80m water depth and does not need any rig to drill the
field.
Helipad
lifeboat
The platform structure must be strong and are stable to withstand the rig’s pressure. The
jacking units are more robust, and the bending moment is sustained mainly at the rack and
pinion mechanisms mounted on the three vertical legs call chords. By this way, the bending
moment can be sustained by increasing the distance between the chords to 60 ft. This will
contribute to lower cost rig. The legs only weigh for 1.74 tons per foot. The system also provides
increased lifting capacity, making for speedy and safe operation. For stability, we must ensure
that the rig is able to withstand the horizontal forces of wind, waves and ocean current. Due to
shallow depth and calm sea waves and current at Brunei offshore, we only consider the wind
forces. This is because the wind provides most of overturning moment. The wind will affect
primarily on the legs above the hull, and the load increases as the square of wind speed. As a
safety measurement, 20 lifeboat are placed at each side and corner of the platform, in case of
emergency and where evacuation is needed.
18
Type of drilling technique and well
Drilling technique choosen to be used in this project is directional drilling by using directional
wells. From the production forecast and others relate data, the number of production wells that
should be operated is six (6). Directional drilling have advantages which is can allows multiple
wells from the same vertical well bore.
Directional drilling one of the way to cut cost development project. It is not economical to drill a
lot of vertical wells because it would not optimize reservoir target in comparison to directional
wells. Some offshore platforms can have several wells. With this development technique, it
greatly improves the economics of field development.

c) Option 2 (CPP + FSO)
This option uses central processing platform (CPP) augmented with floating, storage and
offloading vessel (FSO). An addition of FSO in this option will increase the capacity of
storage of the hydrocarbon before it is transport to onshore terminal. FSO will replace the
pipeline that connecting the CPP and onshore terminal. Other facilities on the platform
remain unchanged as this option only affected the connection between CPP and terminal.
The unprocessed oil, FSO can offload the oil to tanker and then transport it to the client. This
type of option can only be used if there are clients that want unprocessed oil.

31
Transportation
There are two types of transportation that is used to transport the hydrocarbon. First is via
pipelines and second is through tankers.
a) Pipelines.
Pipeline is a long series of Pipes usually of large diameter on the seabed with few fittings
& equipment's mostly Pumps & Valves mainly to control the flow that are laid as this
pipeline is an oil pipeline which carries oil to onshore facilities over long distances. This
mode of transportation is by connecting CPP and onshore terminal. Pumps are installed
to give the oil necessary pressure (energy) for oil to move, it will go to Crude Oil
Terminal.
b) Tanker.
It used in combination with use of FSO and FPSO. Tanker is used to transport
hydrocarbon to onshore terminal or to client’s harbour. Single buoy mooring (SBM) also
known as single-point mooring (SPM) is a loading buoy anchored offshore, that serves
as a mooring point and interconnect for tankers loading or offloading oil products. Since
FSO is a supporting structure that connected to CPP, it cannot move anywhere except
when the field has been abandon. Tanker will move near to FSO/FPSO and connect to
tanker SBM (offloading buoy) to transfer oil and gas to the tanker. After oil has been
transferred, tanker will move to its onshore destination.
32
Supporting Structure
The supporting structure that is use in this field are fixed platform Type of fixed platform used is
jacket platform.
a) Jacket Platform.
For Champion field, jacket platform was choosed because the water depth located
above the well is only 80m. In these areas and where the water depth does not exceed
500 meters, jacket platform is commonly picked as suitable platform as it is cheaper
compared to other platform. It is also a good platform structure that come from a stable
and strong base. The piles are to be concrete-filled and extended from 15 ft. above to 85
ft. below the mean low waterline. The weight of the tower without piles or concrete, with
all storage tanks empty am with all installed equipment, is approximately 900 short tons.
Steel is the main component of rigs, and material prices impact newbuild costs. On a
proportional basis, jackup steel is usually a larger component of cost (10 to 20%) than in
floaters (<10%). Steel prices are specified on a per ton basis and vary regionally with
steel quality and shapes. Rigs are constructed using a variety of steel strengths, and no
single steel price reflects costs for all rigs. However, the vast majority of rigs are built in
Asia, and the Asian steel price index is a reasonable proxy for the rig construction
market. Both rig prices and the steel index grew over the course of the decade at
approximately the same rate, and are correlated. The steel price index explains 70% of
the variation in average jackup rig prices.
