It was found that surging the perforations greatly increased the ability to pack the perforation tunnels and improved the connectivity to the reservoir...

..., the procedures used and the results of these tests are reviewed. The investigations include fluid and gel compatibility with the formation, determination of the critical gravel pack slurry parameters, pressure losses across different screen types, and the outcome of various gravel placement techniques...
