Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses developments in horizontal well completion practices. During recent years, the pursuit of screen based open hole completions with zonal isolation in deviated and horizontal wells has fostered the development of new technology, new applications, and processes to improve recovery of oil and gas. Based on case histories, computer simulations and laboratory testing, this paper describes recent findings which have lead to revisions in completion design and operating best practices.
