    Unit 1 : Reservoir Production and Well Completion Concepts Petroleum Open Learning Section 4 - Well Completion Design Factors As said the introduction, wes, drited down | Factors which Influence Well Completion Design to the reservoirs, provide us with tho only means ‘transporting hyérocarbons tothe surtace. This | Think ofa pipeline bringing water into your house, Careful thought hed to goto the design ot that transportation must be carried outinthe most | pipe ecient manner possible “The volumes of water cared would gover he diameter ofthe ine. The pressures at which the water In addon the system must be safe Isbeing cared would eatermine the strength o the pipe. ‘The way in which the efiled wel is inished ott, | | arm sure that you can think of many ater factors which would have had an influence on te desian of ‘or completed, ensures its efciency and safety, | that pipeline, ‘and tis completion design is influenced by a ‘umber of facors, ‘Simitaty, there are many factors which wil afact the way in which a wellls completed, They can all be ‘combined however na numberof major groups or catagories. In this section we wil ook atthe range of factors which need o be considered in the design of | These categories are shown as the boxes inthe diagram below each supplying data inputs from which ‘wall completion. the wel complation can be designed, [Reservior Rock] [Reservior Reservior Fuld Properties [Character operties ‘Well Com Design Operat ‘Other Requirements Constraints Lets now consider each ofthese categories in a litle more deta AHHH EDEMA AAMAIMMAAAMAATAVITVATDAAT IAA see eee ee GTO OT ECCHUCUHeUeUdduYa Petroleum Open Learning Reservoir Rock Properties ‘These properties include: + Rock ype + Chemical composition + Physical characteristics Fock type - Is the rock elastic or biochemical? ‘This could have an influence onthe fluid ow ‘ate which can be sustained.
