Abstract:Fularchi oilfield in Qiqihar is rich in heavy oil resources with shallow and thin reservoir. Because of the restriction of surface conditions, vertical wells can not be applied in the development. 7 shallow horizontal wells were constructed in this block by 3rd drilling branch of Great Wall drilling company. Due to the short distance from the ground to the target layer in shallow horizontal drilling, some specific technical problems will be showed up during the process of drilling and completion. The difficulties during the construction are analyzed; safe, high quality and efficient drilling are achieved by the design of BHA, geology steering technology and optimized design of drilling fluid.
