Abstract: A process for preparing a well for use in recovery of hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-bearing formation is provided. The process includes injecting mobilizing fluid through the well and into the hydrocarbon-bearing formation, producing fluids from the hydrocarbon-bearing formation to a surface and directing the fluids into a produced emulsion line coupled to a facility for separation, discontinuing mobilizing fluid injection into the well for preparing the well for well kill, discontinuing directing produced fluids to the produced emulsion line and directing further produced fluids to an additional line as pressure in the well decreases, and pumping the further produced fluids from the additional line into the produced emulsion line for separation at the facility.

Abstract: A process for preparing a well for use in subsequent recovery of hydrocarbons from a hydrocarbon-bearing formation wherein (i) mobilizing fluid is injected into the formation and emulsion fluids are produced to surface and directed to a high-pressure produced emulsion line, reducing pressure in the well, (ii) mobilizing fluid injection is terminated while emulsion production continues at reduced pressure, (iii) redirecting a portion of the reduced-pressure emulsion fluids to an additional low-pressure line instead of the produced emulsion line, and (iv) pumping the portion of the emulsion fluids at an elevated pressure from the additional line into the produced emulsion line.

Abstract: A method and system for logging a wellbore. A logging tool is tripped into the wellbore on a service string with a service rig. The service string is assembled from tubing joints. The logging tool may be used to receive variable wellbore data of variable wellbore conditions, which would be subject to variance when the wellbore is disturbed by tripping in a work string for use with previous methods of coiled tubing-based or wireline-based logging. The variable wellbore data may be logged while tripping the service string into the well, out of the well, or both. Data of the depth of the service string as a function of time is also received for correlation with the variable data along a common timeline to map the variable data to locations in the wellbores.
