 Well Completion Fundamentals

Common equipment
• Well objective
• Cost
• Down hole safety valve.
• Ensure the safety of the wells
• Tubing
• Completion/Packer fluid
• Sliding sleeve
• Packer
• Production Casing
• Perforations
• Side Pocket Mandrel.

 Methods of Completion
Advantages
Open Hole Completion • Minimize initial expenses
• Limited Open Hole damage
Cased Hole Completion • Selectivity is possible
• Completion
unconsolidated reservoirs.
Various Completion Types Single selective production
Dual production-string completion
Intelligent Completion
Open
Disadvantages
• Only thick/homogeneous
reservoir can produced.
• Formation needs to be well-
consolidated.
• Necessity of good cement job.
• Perforation through casing and
cement must be properly
designed.
 Horizontal Wells Completion

Open Hole For short drain

Slotted Liner with external inflatable casing Different zones can be monitored along the
packers horizontal drain

Cemented and perforated liner Good zonal isolation

Open
 Perforation

-To penetrate into the formation/create holes in the casing or liner.

Major Efficiencies

• Shot Density
• Penetration into the reservoir

• Packers - annular seals between the tubing and production casing.

• Packer fluid - placed between tubing and production casing above
the packer.

Open
 Drill Stem Test

To test the dynamic properties of a reservoir.

Equipment

• Reverse Circulating Sub

• Safety Joint
• Packer
• Perforated tail-pipe
• Pressure recorder.
