Introduction
Four (4) principal decision needed for
fundamental design of completion:
1. Bottom hole completion technique
2. Production conduit selection
3. Completion string facilities
4. Multiple Zone Completions

Cost
Flow stability
Ability to control flow and
Ensure well safety or isolation; ensuring that the
integrity of the well will not be compromised by
corrosion or erosion.

Disadvantages:
Does not provide a circulation capability
because of packer

Advantages
Low capital investment needed as more than one zone produced from
one tubing string
Drilling cost is minimized
Disadvantages
Mixing of produced fluids in the wellbore can be disadvantageous if one or
more fluid have any of the following characteristics
-Corrosive material, e.g. acids, H2S, CO2
-When one of the zone is producing sand.
-When fluids have been different hydrocarbon compositions
-Different WOR and GOR as this would influence vertical lift performance
Injection of stimulation fluid cannot be diverted easily into individual layer
27
Advantages
Production rate from each zone can be independently control
Changes in production characteristics of one zone will not affect other
zone
Stimulation can be applied to each zone
Disadvantages
Since each zone needs a tubing string and other completion
equipment, additional expenditure and installation time is needed
The possibility of component failure is increased with the amount of
completion equipment.
Using of two small tubing sizes to fit in production casing string may
reduce total flow capacity of the well
