Title: Completion systems for large diameter casing

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5277557

Completion operations, for oil and gas wells, are usually performed in casing sizes not exceeding 13-3/8 in. (34.0 cm) with the majority of completions being performed in 9-5/8 in. (24.5 cm) and smaller. As such, the availability of completion equipment, for large diameter casings, becomes extremely limited or nonexistent. Occasionally, conditions may exist which require the completion to be designed in a casing size larger than 13-3/8 in. (34.0 cm). In order to complete in these casing sizes, special equipment must be designed. This paper discusses the design criteria, development, and subsequent use of perforating and gravel pack equipment generated for use in 20 in. (50.8 cm) casing.
