Introduction
Casing Schemes

There are various casing


schemes depending on
drilling, completion and
reservoir considerations e.g.

Introduction

What is the objective of well completion ?


To provide communication between
reservoir and the surface
With subsurface and surface flow
control mechanisms

BASIC WELL COMPLETION

Introduction

Why well completion is so important ?

To effectively drain out the reservoir fluids to


the surface - increase productivity and recovery

To provide subsurface and surface flow control

Increase asset value through cost optimisation well completion cost represents one of the
major contributor to total wells expenditure in
field development

Introduction

What can happen if completion not


optimal ?
Low rate due to restriction
in the reservoir - near wellbore (skin)
in the completion tubing
Early water or gas breakthrough
Faster production decline
Equipment failure e.g. surface choke cut
Frequent shutdown e.g. sand in separator
