... dynamics (CFD) for laboratory scale and field scale to assess the potential use of the standalone screen in completing the cased and perforated wells. The aim is to design a fit-to-purpose sand control method in cased and perforated wells and provide guidelines in perforation strategy and investigate...

... shifting via a shifting tool run on coiled tubing, slickline (SL), or wireline was upgraded to open automatically after relieving tubing pressure once packers (and/or a liner hanger) are set. This PSSD technology, which is integrable to almost any type of sand control screen, is equipped with a backup...

..., and organic matter, and (ii) low concentrations of corrosion products and sulfates. The results of field case studies showed that the cleaning of the EHS tool is not limited to the sand-control devices and it can clean other tools that are less accessible for other techniques, such as subsurface safety valves...

...Ashutosh Dikshit; Amrendra Kumar; Michael Langlais; Balkrishna Gadiyar; Glenn Woiceshyn; Mehmet Parlar Summary For offshore wells requiring sand control, it is beneficial to extend the openhole length to access more reserves with a reduced well count. In challenging environments (e.g., low fracture...

... to avoid or minimize proppant flowback, such as treatment optimization to maximize pack stability, resin-coated proppant, limiting drawdown, or letting it flow to deal with the consequences later. Another strategy to avoid proppant flowback is to install sand control equipment integrated into a sliding...

... viscosity of approximately 500 cp and thin pay zones (less than 10 m) have been successfully produced using cold methods; however, thicker zones could be produced using thermal options. Sand management is the main challenge in cold operations, while sand control is the main challenge in thermal operations...

This paper presents the results of tests on wire‐wrapped screen (WWS) and slotted liner (SL) test coupons for typical onshore Canada McMurray formation sand. A unique sand control evaluation apparatus has been designed and built to accommodate...

...Mahdi Ramezanian; Hossein Emadi; Hong Wang Summary In oil and gas wells with sand‐control completion, during gravel‐pack installation and the production life span of the well, void spaces (holidays) might form in gravel packs. These voids provide permeable channels within the pack that allow sand...

During installation, liners are subjected to tensile and compressive loads generated by string weight, wellbore drag, and bending when run through curved...

... B/D to almost 40,000 B/D; and these rates can be sustained over extended periods of time (several years). Most of these developments in the GOM require sand control with cased hole frac packs (CHFPs) as the preferred completion technique. In addition to providing reliable sand control, frac packs...

In this paper, we detail our best practices to ensure efficient wellbore displacements for sand-control completions on the basis of learnings from more than 500 openhole completions throughout the world from 2013 through 2016. In the design phase, these involve...
