• Production/ Bean Choke Performance
• Workover Operations
Definitions
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE THEORY BEHIND USING A BEAN OR A
CHOKE IN CRUDE OIL FLOWING WELLS?? WHY DO WE NEED TO USE A
CHOKE AFTER THE WING VALVE FOR PRODUCING CRUDE OIL. ?
DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE 'GOR' OF THE WELL.

choke
• Control Flow
• Protect equipment –corrosion and erosion
• Best use of backflow energy
• Control circulation –holds a back pressure
• Control pressures at surface (during flow)
• Control injection –on injection line
Tubing head pressure can be determine by below empirical equation
Where
Ptf = tubing head pressure in Psia
R = gas liquid ratio MCF/BBL
q = gross liquid rate BPD
S = BEAN SIZE 1/64 INCH
Example showing how choke size affect production rate at different choke
sizes
• Screens
• Gravel Packing
• Open Hole Gravel Packs (OHGP)
• Cased-Hole Gravel Packs (CHGP)
Screens
Screens are used for sand control in four
different ways:
Set in open hole, extending below casing
Set in the casing opposite the perforations
Suspended in the lower end of the tubing
Set as a permanent part of the lower end
of the casing
Screen
What is Gravel Packing?
• Is the oldest and most widely used
sand control technique
• Gravel pack is the key to controlling
formation movement
• The ability of the gravel packing to
screen formation particles successfully
is dependent primarily on gravel size
and the uniformity of the formation
GRAVAL PACK
Cased-Hole Gravel Packing
• Gravel is squeezed through the
perforations into the producing zone
• It is important that gravel be placed
through all perforations to prevent
formation fines from filling perforations
and reducing well productivity
Other Solutions of sand control
What is Work-Over?
Work over Operations
• Objectives
• Work over are operations are that involve:-
1- Downhole repair and service of production equipment
2- Deepening
3- Under reaming
4- Milling
5- Recompletion
6- Cementing, squeeze
7- Repair gravel pack
8- Reperforation
