Sand-Control Technology Advancements Improve the Cost and Efficiency of Completions
June 30, 2017
The days of completing mostly low-deviation wells using cased-hole gravel packs—either single-zone gravel packs or dual-zone stacked gravel packs—are long over. Operators now demand optimal production over an extended productive lifecycle. This demand has led to the development of more complex reservoirs: more remote locations; greater depths, including deep and ultra-deep water; higher deviations; and longer laterals and open holes for increased reservoir contact.
