Abstract
Well Completions design is continuously evolving to meet increasing requirements of down hole monitoring and control. The design of well completion has become more sophisticated as these requirements increase. Nowadays in the industry, it is rare to find a well completion that does not have some type of down hole sensor or inflow control. This paper presents overview of six different well completions designed to meet different reservoir and production requirements. Each of these design are integrations of existing and new technologies. The technologies presented in the paper range from inflow control devices and open hole packers placed in the reservoir section, multilateral junction systems, through permanent down hole sensors, surface controlled down hole valves and electric submersible pumps in the production tubing. The paper also discusses briefly the integration of the down hole equipment with surface control panels and SCADA communication systems. Different well types like oil producers, water injectors and artificial lift wells are discussed.
