Abstract

In February 2012, Hoang Long JOC (HLJOC) faced problems when running a wireline formation tester (WFT) in an 8½-in. hole. The borehole was severely enlarged just below the 9-5/8-in. casing shoe, making it impossible to align the WFT string and run to total depth. HLJOC decided to deploy a formation pressure while drilling (FPWD) tool and tested 93 depth stations in one run; the largest in a single run in Asia Pacific.
