... Abstract Water reduction techniques were applied in the openhole gravel pack (OHGP) completions of four wells in Field C. Field C is operated by BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC (bpTT) and is located offshore Trinidad in the Columbus Basin. During the first phase of field development, six wells...

... Abstract One of the most critical issues in TSP fields is the unconsolidated character of its sands. Historically, most of the wells drilled in TSP fields, including vertical, deviated and horizontal wells, have been completed with cased hole gravel pack (CHGP). However, over the course...

... the productivity impairment associated with conventionally gravel packed wells. Most of Trinidad’s onshore crude oil production is considered to be mature in that the oil reserves are still being produced by primary means with tertiary recovery methods accounting for roughly one third of total production...

... Abstract With sand control being an issue for many operators; there is a prevalence of Open Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP) completions used in offshore reservoirs. Gravel packing is an industry recognized method of stabilizing the well bore and controlling sand in gas and oil producing wells...

... Abstract Oil and gas production from unconsolidated sand reservoirs generally requires a production sand screen and usually a gravel pack in the well bore for optimum sand control. Existing criteria such as Tiffin, Saucier and Coberly have provided guidelines for conventional gap based...
