The Nelson field gas-lift completions were designed to optimize production, enhance safety and reliability, and minimize well-maintenance costs. The completions are of a near-monobore design and include an annular safety system, which is regarded as a major safety benefit during gas lift. The single-trip completions were batch installed in eight high-angle (up to 70{degree}) predrilled wells. This paper presents details of the completion design and the approach taken to planning and installing the completions. The paper also describes the use of a novel technique for perforating the platform wells with wireline guns.
