COMPLETION SYSTEM

Introduction Categories of Completion Types

After a well has been drilled, it must be properly There are several ways of classifying or categorizing
completed before it can be put into production. A completion types. The most common criteria for the
complex technology has evolved around the classification of completions include the following:
techniques and equipment developed for this purpose.
The selection of such equipment and techniques
should only be made following a thorough investigation
of the factors which are specific to the reservoir, well Wellbore/Reservoir Interface
and production system under
study. There are three basic requirements of any Open Hole
completion, in common with almost
every oil field product or service. Cased Hole

Horizontal

Safe Producing Zones

Efficient/Economic Single Zone

Reliable Multiple Zones

Production Method
Completion: The design, selection and installation of
tubulars, tools and equipment located in the wellbore Natural Flow
for the purpose of conveying, pumping or controlling
production or injection fluids. Artificial Lift
(Installing and cementing the production casing or
liner, as well as logging, perforating and testing, are
part of the completion process)
