Factors Influencing Well Completion Design
Completion is the lowest cost completion that needs or nearly made the demand played upon a form the most of his life. To intelligently design will completion, a reasonable estimate of producing characteristics during the life overwhelm must be made. Both reservoir and mechanical considerations must be evaluated.
Reservoir considerations
Reservoir under consideration was the location of various fluids in the formation of penetrated by wellbore , the flow of these fluids to the reservoir rock, and characteristic of rock itself. Producing rate to provide maximum economic recovery is often the starting point for the completion design. Among other factors producing rate should determine the size of the producing conduit. Multiple reservoirs penetrated by a well pose the problem of multiple completion in one drilled hole. Possibilities include multiple completion inside casing separated by packer, are several strings of smaller casing cemented in one bore hole to provide effect separate wells. Other possibilities include the commingling of hydrocarbons from separate reservoir downhole, or drilling several borehole from one surface location.
Mechanical considerations
Mechanical considerations or "well hook up" is often the key to being able to deplete the reservoir effectively, monitor down performance, and modify the well situation when necessary. The mechanical consideration of well is the key to being able to do what ought to be done in the well promised a standpoint of controlling the offer reservoir of fluids, oil, gas and water.
Formation damages related to the well hookup, both minimising damage initially and relieving the effects of the damage. Mechanically will commission design is a complex engineering problem.
Basic philosophy is to design as
