Packers

The tension packer has a single set of unidirectional slips that grip only the casing when the tubing is pulled in tension. Constant tubing tension must be maintained to keep the packer set and the packing element energized. Tension packers, typically, are set mechanically and are released by means of tubing rotation.

Prepacking perforations with gravel

Prepacking perforations with gravel. Prepacking can be defined as any method that intentionally places gravel into the perforation tunnels. Filling of perforation tunnels can be accomplished either with a dedicated operation before performing the gravel pack or simultaneously with it. The technique used is normally dictated by well parameters.

History of gravel packs

History. The earliest gravel packs were performed in shallow, vertical wells, typically by simply pouring gravel into the tubing/casing annulus and allowing the gravel to settle around a screen. Some screens were even washed into place after the gravel was placed. The technique is still employed in water wells but now is seldom used in oil/gas ...

PEH:Perforating

Perforating. Introduction Perforating is a process used to establish a flow path between the near reservoir and the wellbore. It normally involves initiating a hole from the wellbore through the casing and any cement sheath into the producing zone. The effectiveness of this process depends on the care and design of the perforating procedure.

Gas lift

Gas lift. Gas lift is a method of artificial lift that uses an external source of high-pressure gas for supplementing formation gas to lift the well fluids. The principle of gas lift is that gas injected into the tubing reduces the density of the fluids in the tubing, and the bubbles have a "scrubbing" action on the liquids.

Cuttings roll in low viscosity mud is harder than in high viscosity mud. Newtonian fluid yields better cuttings transport than other fluids with same apparent viscosity. Higher 'n'7 value causes higher lift force. Higher 'k'8 values for a mud system helps to keep the particles in suspension for longer periods of time.
