.... Exhaustive shop, yard, and flow loop testing verified the tractor's ability to reliably pull in both cased and open hole, employ multiple layers of failsafe technologies, and facilitate rigging up with simpler and less expensive operations. A series of wells with increasing depth and difficulty were used...

... Abstract This paper will present a Coiled Tubing (CT) technology that can be used to maneuver severely washed-out open hole sections. The presence of open hole washouts is known to restrict access to pay zones during reservoir monitoring or other well intervention operations. The case study...

... factor from tight and fractured carbonate reservoirs within the Bahrain Field. Reservoir complexity and heterogonity create the need for running open-hole logs in most of the horizontal wells within the Bahrain field. Logging is essential for the following: Designing the well completion (Open hole...

... 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...

... Abstract Mechanical descaling of iron sulfide scales in high angle non-monobore or horizontal open hole completion offer multifaceted challenges, especially when the reservoir is depleted. The history of the descaling program in carbonate gas wells in Saudi Arabia dates back to 2007...

... these valves facilitate a reactive style of reservoir management. Once unwanted fluid production initiates, the valves can be choked back optimizing the wellbore productivity and/or improving the near well sweep efficiency without the need for intervention. Open hole deployments of this technology...

... Abstract Te oil producer wells, in the southern are of Saudi Arabia, are mostly completed as horizontal open hole (OH). Some of these wells are dead or on itermittent production due to high water cut, which is caused mainly by water influx through carbonate fissures or fractures. Multiple water...

.... In April 2010, a horizontal well was successfully drilled into the Unayzah reservoir towards the minimum in-situ stress direction and completed with an open hole, multistage (OHMS) fracturing system. A four-stage proppant fracturing job was successfully conducted in November 2010 without issues. Unique...

... zone and facilitate the option to run flow control/isolation systems. By drilling such wells as short radius re-entries, long radius sidetracks with open hole expandable liner option were avoided. Consequently, significant rig time and cost savings were achieved. After the success of this technique...

... in with CT to remove the plugs is costly and time prohibitive in many cases. In open hole applications, horizontal stimulations have relied almost solely on limited entry or bullheading in attempts to induce multiple fractures. This method has proven very inefficient and unsuccessful. A new completion...
