Oilfield operators have always looked for ways of reducing the costs of oil and gas development projects and especially when investment costs were critical to project economics. Tubingless completions have evolved over the last 30 years in North America to fill the need for reduced investment costs particularly in the case of fields with either limited reserves or limited profitability.Tubingless completions basically utilise small diameter tubulars to function as both production casing and flowstring. The tubulars are cemented in the borehole, not to be removed or recovered until the field is depleted and/or the well abandoned. The technique is limited in application to those fields with no corrosion or wax or hydrate problems and with a limited requirement for reservoir stimulation and workovers. The greater the number of operations performed within the tubingless well bore the greater the risk of losing the well.The main benefits of tubingless completions are as follows:Reduction in development well completion costs.Marginally productive hydrocarbon zones can be completed and tested.Completion of individual gas zones of multi-pay wells within their own permanently segregated flowstrings at much lower capital and operating costs.The experience this far with Kincora gas field development wells indicates the tubingless completion method to be completely feasible for gas wells drilled in the Surat Basin and possibly in other areas of Australia.

Significance Some significant field development projects are moving ahead in 2018, especially in Kirkuk. There are further plans to award new exploration and development deals, as well as to develop additional pipeline capacity. Impacts Higher exports and a solid oil price will boost federal government revenues. The oil sector will face continued structural problems and political challenges, despite growth in capacity. Iraq’s rising production capacity will strain its already-weak adherence to the OPEC agreement. Gas supply boosts could free for export oil currently used for domestic power generation.

The article considers а mathematical model of analyzing the feasibility of an upstream project (correctional resistance model), including the formation of redundancy for correction’s implementation aimed at increasing the probability of project execution within the target efficiency metrics to the desired value of the project realization probability, as a result it allows to speak about the transition to a qualitatively new level of cooperation between stakeholders of the project, including through partnerships. This approach is applicable at all stages of oilfield development project lifecycle, for the accumulation and improvement of the project knowledge base, which is valuable for each of the project participants and significantly increases with an integrated approach to the project management.
