The Cannonball field is a one Tcf gas condensate development offshore Trinidad producing at an initial rate in excess of 800 MMcf/D from three wells. The completion design selected was 7⅝ inch production tubing with an open-hole gravel pack (OHGP). The initial well (CAN01) has produced at an initial rate of 320 MMcf/D. The calculated deliverability of this well is 415 MMcf/D. This paper discusses the completion basis of design, detailed engineering assurance of the design, qualification of critical engineered equipment, and actual results.
