- INTRODUCTION
Once the design well depth is
reached, the formation is tested
and evaluated.
To complete the production well, PLATFORM
casing is installed and cemented,
and the drilling rig is dismantled. SEA BED

- WHAT IS COMPLETION?
Well completion creates a
dependable pathway to the surface
for the hydrocarbons.
The term ‘completion’ describes
the assembly of downhole tubulars
and other safety equipments that is
required to enable the safe and
efficient production of oil or gas
from the well after it has been
drilled.

- BASIC WELL COMPLETION TECHNOLOGY
Each drilled wellbore awaiting completion is unique. Even nearby wells
drilled to the same reservoir can have differencies in:
depths,
formation characteristics,
and hole sizes
A wide variety of equipment designs and procedures have been
developed to provide safe, efficient conduits from subsurface
reservoirs to the surface in different situations.
The ideal completion design
minimizes initial completion and operating costs,
providing for the most profitable operation of an oil or gas well over
its entire life.

- TYPE OF COMPLETION
Natural Completions
Natural completions are those in which little or no stimulation is required
for production. Sandstone and carbonate systems with good permeability
and mechanical stability are ideal for natural completions.
Stimulated Completions
These completions are generally applied to improve the natural drainage
patterns of hard, low-permeability formations. It is used to remove
barriers that prevent easy passage of fluids into the wellbore.
Sand-Control Completions
Sand-control completions support the formation while allowing the flow of fluids.
They are performed in young, unconsolidated or less mechanically competent
sandstones.
Well Completion and Stimulation 7
GEOPET
- TYPE OF COMPLETION
The design of a particular completion depends on:
1. The number and type of productive zones,
2. The expected pressures and flow rates,
3. The need to control sand production,
4. The need for artificial lift or stimulation the regulations
governing operations in the area.

- WELL COMPLETION ACTIVITIES
Well completion activities include:
Conducting well test
Setting production casing
Running production tubing along with
downhole equipments
Installing surface safety equipments
Starting production flow

- BASIC COMPLETION METHODS
Once we drill to the target and evaluate our well by
Mud analysis: density & viscosity
Well logging (electrical, ascoustic, nuclear, etc…)
Coring: at bottomhole or sidewall
Welltest: bottomhole pressure vs time -> reservoir properties
Next decision is whether to complete or abandon it????
In the latter case:
set a cement plug or plugs in the hole,
possibly recover whatever casing can be removed,
and return the drill-site to its original condition.
The more fortunate is one in which our well not only is productive, but
economically justifies a completion.

- BASIC COMPLETION METHODS
The next step usually involves the running of the final string of casing - the
production string.
The manner in which this is done determines the basic completion
method and may follow one of several configurations: (interface between
the wellbore & reservoir)
the openhole completion,
the liner completion,
the cased and perforated completion
• Without liner
• With liner
Well Completion and Stimulation 11
GEOPET
- BASIC COMPLETION METHODS
The openhole completion: the producing formation is not isolated by
the casing, which extends only to the top of the producing interval.
The slotted liner completion: which is not cemented and not "tied back"
to the surface.
Well Completion and Stimulation 12
GEOPET
- BASIC COMPLETION METHODS
The cased and perforated completion
Without liner: cementing the production casing across the
productive interval and then perforating the casing for production
With liner: a liner is cemented and perforated as a cased and
perforated completion
Well Completion and Stimulation 13
GEOPET
- BASIC COMPLETION METHODS
One of these configurations will be the basis for the completion design,
which may incorporate:
one or multiple strings of tubing: single, dual, or triple, etc
and a variety of tubing components to facilitate production
(production method): pumping, flowing, etc.
from one or multiple zones: single or multiple zones
For our purposes, a cased and perforated well with a single tubing
string will serve to illustrate the typical completion procedure.

GEOPET
- SUBSEA COMPLETION
Subsea production systems are wells
located on the sea floor, as opposed to
at the surface. The safety equipments
are installed underwater on the seabed.
They enable early production from
deepwater, remote, and marginal fields.
Subsea production system offer a
means of producing field extremities not
reachable by directional drilling from
existing platforms, or where field
economics do not justify the installation
of one or more additional platforms.

- 2. COMPLETION PROCEDURE
Well Completion and Stimulation 16
GEOPET
- COMPLETION PROCEDURE
After the contract casing crew runs the final casing,
cementing follows the usual procedure, although stage
cementing may be necessary to cement an extremely long
string.
The production string has been hauled out to the location
and the inside diameter checked to make sure that
imperfections will not prevent the subsequent running in of
tubing and packers after the string is set.
Well Completion and Stimulation 17
GEOPET
- COMPLETION PROCEDURE
Special care: to prevent the possibility of future leaks.
If stage cementing is necessary:
the bottom section is first cemented in place and then
a series of plugs are pumped down the casing to open ports that
allow the upper end of the annulus to receive cement.
After the cement has set, the inside of the casing must be
drilled out and
flushed clean of cement and other debris to a depth below that of
the proposed completion.
It is important that the inside diameter of the production casing be
clean and smooth.
Well Completion and Stimulation 18
GEOPET
- COMPLETION PROCEDURE
It is also important that the cement
form a competent seal between the
casing and borehole over the entire
openhole interval. To ensure this,
an acoustic cement bond log is
sometimes run on wireline
to determine if voids exist
between casing and hole
because cement has bypassed
the drilling fluid.
Well Completion and Stimulation 19
GEOPET
- COMPLETION PROCEDURE
If the bond is poor in an area, particularly if the area is between
productive formations, a cement squeeze will be required.
Often the cement bond log is run in conjunction with a gamma ray log
and a casing collar log. The drilling engineers can correlate this
gamma ray log with the logs run earlier during formation logging.
This correlation is important because as we zero in on the target - the
productive formation - our need to locate tools precisely relative to that
formation is critical.
The open hole logging sondes are subjected to a greater amount of
"drag" when being pulled up the hole, the depths at which formations
are recorded may differ somewhat from the formation depths on the
gamma ray log run inside the casing.
