WELL COMPLETION

PROGRAM
The purpose of well completion is to provide
communication between the reservoir and the surface
production facilities.
TYPICAL WELL COMPLETION CONFIGURATION
Why well completion is so important ?
To effectively drain out the reservoir fluids to
surface. Proper completion design is crucial in
maximizing recovery.

To provide subsurface and surface flow control
and safety. Several zones could be produced
selectively or commingle it.

Isolate gas and water zones.

To support wellbore and avoid excessive sand
production.
The well completion provides :

Pressure control
A replaceable conduit for produced fluids
Selectivity of produced intervals
Simple well killing facilities
Potential for the exclusion of solids

Drilling small hole sizes and completing with
smaller casing scheme.

This will enable faster drilling with less casing
tubular, cement and associated drilling materials
hence lower cost.

The Triple Wellhead is
now a proven technology

It will make a marginal
field economical to be
developed

It has the potential also
to enhance project
economics with
installation of smaller
platforms to drill the
same number of wells

and completed
from one shared

PCSB's well completion review
Most of PCSB's wells are cased hole either
single or dual completion. However, there are
a few wells completed opened hole (slotted
liner).
Tubing size used range from 2-3/8" to 5-1/2
OD.
PCSB has completed horizontal wells,
multilateral wells, wells with gravel packing
completion, slim well and one twin well.
Completion with 1 packer to 6 packers,
completing from 1 to 5 zones in a single
wellbore.
