... Abstract Drilling and completing reservoir formations without causing the formation damage is nearly or almost impossible. In most of the cases, selected drilling or completion fluids that were selected during different phase of the operation while drilling and completing the well causes...

... Abstract Advanced or smart completion wells are different from conventional wells by being equipped with downhole flow control devices such as Interval Control Valves (ICV) and Inflow Control Devices (ICD) to offer improved reservoir management and control and thus maximise hydrocarbon...

... of disposal wells have often been a common practice. Uncovering another factor of cost acquired in completion economics. On average disposal costs, in the US for instance, can range from $0.50 per barrel up to $2.25 per barrel, when associated transportation is added to cost an operator can inherit a total...

... alternatives to recomplete or restimulated additional pay up hole Hydraulic fracturing treatment in thick laminated sands are quite challenging, the high cost of hydraulic fracturing treatment increases in an attempt to target all the intervals.

... Abstract This paper describes the implementation of a system for evaluating actual torque and drag when running multistage fracturing (MSF) completion equipment in long, open-hole (OH) lateral sections. The process uses an important evaluation tool to compare with results from simulated...

... and utilization of the mega disposal wells, following issues observed contratry to its advantages. These issues/concerns highlighted as follows. The completions require drilling rigs to pull out of hole the 9 5/8" completion for well intervention. All the equipment required for 9 5/8" completions...

... Abstract Although early corrosion detection may allow preventive maintenance to reduce the risk of environmental damage and surface incidents (explosion, fire, leakage, and related consequences), many of the wells producing today were completed decades ago, when corrosion control and monitoring...

... and hydrostatic column, between producing and injecting formations, complement each other to achieve gravity injection into a deeper formation. The particular completion of gravity water injectors in Field-A calls for novel approaches to reservoir surveillance as well as well integrity monitoring. Many...

... Abstract Saudi Aramco has installed over 64 hydraulic wet connect (HWC) tools to combine smart well completions (SWCs) with electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) over the last 6 years. These completions are installed for remote inflow control in Maximum Reservoir Contact (MRC) and Multilateral...
