Time
The sequence of rates can be adjusted to suit operational & reservoir requirements
Often Qmax first, to ensure best clean out of well, and best chance of clean stable flow

Perforation and PL
Need to know:
Perforation intervals
Nice to know:
Shot density & phasing
Charge type - big hole/deep penetrating
Gun type casing gun, through tubing gun
Perforation performed overbalanced or under balanced
Perforation history - timeline
Need to discover:
Which perforations are producing
Are the perforations on depth, or are they even there at all?
KAPPA 2011
Crossflow
Solutions:
Flow well at higher flowrate lower BHFP
P3 P3>BHFP
Reperforate only layers 1 and 3
Recomplete layer 3 through a different tubing
than layer 2
Close off layer 2

Zoned flow
Top Zone
- zones of widely differing perforated
permeability, but some
Top Zone
high permeability will flow Perforations
perforated
preferentially, not flowing
but no flow
low perm zones may not
flow at all
- perforations plugged,
Bottom Zone
debris from the perforation
perforated
gun, mud entering while
but some
perforating overbalanced,
perforations
crushed rock in the
not flowing
perforation tunnel
35 KAPPA 2011
Fracture Production
Fractures
Some perforations are
crossing fractures
These give high flow rates,
and often strong jetting effects
The remaining perforations
may produce nothing
