... Controlling sand has been one of the most difficult challenges in oil production in Upstream Malaysia operations. Conventionally, Cased Hole Gravel Packs (CHGP) or Open Hole Gravel Packs (OHGP) are installed to prevent sand from being produced with the oil to the surface facilities. However...

... to combination of sand control and HPHT environment where industry has limited experience. The selected completions type was an Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) with a pre-drilled liner. A series of lab testing has been conducted to design and qualify completions fluids. The lab test program included formation...

... Abstract Multi Zone Single Trip Gravel Pack (MZ-STGP) system has been the main solution for developing shallow reservoirs in the Mahakam Delta, Indonesia. Despite providing cost effective solutions, the system poses safety challenges related to well control. These challenges (i.e long non...

... Abstract The world's first subsea gravel packing for methane hydrate was conducted and production test successfully executed in the eastern Nankai Trough area off the coast of central Japan in March 2013. Methane hydrate formations all over the world promise huge energy reserves on the earth...

... associated with the R/A materials. This new non-radioactive tracer technique also has application in evaluating gravel packs and frac packs. The new technology employs a non-radioactive ceramic proppant containing a high thermal neutron capture compound (HTNCC). This compound is inseparably incorporated...

... and compaction. The DST s did not indicate that the reservoir produced sand, but geo-mechanical models suggested that the reservoir would produce sand as the reservoir pressure decreased. Gravel Pack Completion Design In late 2009 open hole gravel pack (OHGP) completions were selected for the 5 new development...

... and learnings by well section. The Parque das Conchas well design and execution efforts have resulted in several significant results to date: Two of the longest horizontal open hole wells successfully drilled and completed with a full-length alpha and alpha/beta wave gravel pack in Brazil at 1,115 and 1,160m...

... the inflow and prevent expensive workovers. Incomplete gravel packing, development of "hot spots" in screens, destabilization of the annular pack, fines migration, sand screen plugging, near-wellbore damage, crossflow, differential depletion, compartmentalization, compaction represent a typical list...

... and completed. These wells primarily were drilled in interval batches. The general well design includes a driven conductor followed by 17½-in hole section by 13?-in casing, 12¼-in hole by 9??-in. casing followed by a horizontal 8½-in openhole interval completed by running premium screens and gravel packing...

... production rate of at least 200,000 B/D. To date, all wells have successfully targeted their reservoir objectives and the efficiency and flexibility of the dynamically positioned 5th generation semi-submersible has kept well construction on track. Moreover, all openhole gravel pack completions have been...

.... Introduction Single-trip multi-zone frac-packing provides flexibility and time-saving advantages that enable well-specific solutions with substantial savings as compared with conventional stacked fracpacking operations. Single-trip, multiple-zone gravel pack systems are not new to the Gulf of Mexico...

... boundaries with fracturing. Although lower maximum pressures are observed in the absence of bottom confining layers and in deeper (and thus warmer and more pressurized) systems, the reduction is limited. Wellbore designs with gravel packs that allow gas venting and pressure relief result in substantially...

... is situated offshore Cameroon. It is a mature heavy oil field with unconsolidated formations that require sand control from the onset of production. A wide variety of sand control solutions have been used in this field, although with varying levels of success and performance. Cased hole internal gravel packs...

... in this paper refers to this phase of the gas storage cluster development. The Minerbio #83 well was completed as a production well in November 1990. The original completion included an openhole gravel pack performed from the 7 in. 23#/ft casing inside pool C Sand body, with average permeability of 60 – 80 mD...

... Abstract Conventional gravel pack or frac pack completions typically require the use of wash pipe to act as a conduit for fluid returns as well to carry a shifting mechanism to open or close a return port. Using properly sized wash pipe can enhance the placement of the gravel across the entire...

... Abstract Horizontal open hole gravel pack (OHGP) completions are increasingly required for the low API gravity oil fields in and near the Campos basin, offshore Brazil. Many successful horizontal gravel packs have been performed in this area, often in spite of increasingly difficult technical...
