Consisting chiefly of alternate beds of shale and sandstone, the Morrow sand members are the object of an intense search for natural gas in the southwest. Spurred on by the incentive of fair prices for new gas, reserves are steadily being developed in the Morrow in spite of the problems associated with drilling and completion. For the Morrow well completion, and possibly for other pay zones exhibiting a peculiar sensitive nature, the drilling processes must be included in completion planning. Factors that influence completion efficiency to be considered in this case are drilling mechanics, casing programs, drilling fluids, drill stem testing, and cementing. The perforating and stimulation programs deserve priority for discussion. A totally engineered program employing current and proven techniques enhances the success of Morrow well completions. Each aspect of the drilling and final completion should be carefully planned and directed.
