Cost-effective Sand Control Completions
As a leader in completion and
production, Baker Oil Tools goal
is to lower our clients’ real cost
per barrel of fluid produced by
providing reliable, cost-effective
tools and services. To meet this
goal, we can design and deliver
the optimum completion system
to maximize long-term productiv-
ity and minimize the overall life
cycle cost.
For example, if the formation
calls for a sand control comple-
tion, Baker Oil Tools can match
the right gravel size, gravel pack
method, tools and BakerweldTM
screen for optimum well perfor-
mance and minimal formation
damage.
Tubing-Conveyed Perforating
Baker Oil Tools also is a leader
in tubing-conveyed perforating
technology with a variety of
systems designed to match your

continually striving to improve
well productivity, increase the
service life of completion equip-
ment and provide more cost-
effective solutions for the most
demanding well environments.
Technical services match
completion to formation
Successful well completions
depend on thorough and accurate
information about the formation
and wellbore. Natural well
characteristics including pressure,
temperature, formation and
fluids composition may vary
considerably between wells.
Further variations are introduced
by different techniques used in
drilling, cementing, and perforat-
ing. Baker Oil Tools design
recommendations include all of
these factors.
Our testing labs also perform
analytical and procedural testing
of formation sand, injected and
produced materials, and potential
treatment chemicals. When
required, complete laboratory
services provide additional
information including sieve
analysis, X-ray diffraction, acid
solubility, Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM), fluid com-
patibility, emulsion tests, and
flow studies, as well as paraffin
and asphaltene determinations.

SC-1 Gravel Pack System
Gravel packing with the New
Model SC-1 packer system allows
all completion equipment to be
run and the gravel pack to be
placed in a single trip.
Reduces rig time
The assembly is run, set, then
gravel pme compared to multiple-
trip systems. When producing,
the gravel pack packer becomes
the production packer.
Clean fluids increase
production
The multi-position gravel pack
tool allows the workstring to be
cleaned prior to pumping gravel.
By positioning the gravel pack
crossover port above the packer,
as in the reverse position, tubing
can be cleaned with a light acid
wash (pickled), removing rust,
scale, or other foreign matter and
preventing them from plugging
the formation and screen.
Simple design enhances
reliability
The New Model SC-1 gravel
pack packer is hydraulically set.
All basic gravel packing opera-
tions are performed by simply
raising or lower-ing the setting
tool/crossover assembly.
Running in
4
The entire gravel packing
assembly (packer, screen, setting
tool/crossover assembly, and
accessories – Figure 1) is in
position for setting and gravel
packing. The setting tool/
crossover assembly is seated in
the packer and the gravel pack
port is positioned inside the
perforated extension between the
packer and seal bore sub. The
washpipe extends from below the
setting tool/crossover assembly to
the bottom of the screen.
When setting depth is reached,
a tripping ball is dropped into
place on the ball seat. Pressure is
then applied, which actuates the
setting tool, causing the packer
slips to engage the casing and the
element to pack off. Increased
pressure shears the ball seat,
opening the gravel pack port.
After setting the packer, the
setting tool/crossover assembly is
released with either right-hand
rotation or with an optional
hydraulic release.
Gravel packing through the
production screen
For circulating gravel place-
ment, (Figure 2) the setting tool/
crossover assembly is raised until
the bypass ports are above the
packer. This allows circulation of
the carrier fluid through the main
production screen and continued
gravel placement in the casing/
screen annulus.
Reverse circulating
In this position, (Figure 3) the
gravel pack port is above the
packer, the lower seals of the
setting tool/crossover assembly
are sealing in the packer bore,
and the reversing ball is sealing
on its ball seat, isolating the
formation from reversing
pressures and preventing fluid
loss to the formation. Fluid
circulated down the annulus
enters the gravel pack port,
reversing any excess gravel out of
the workstring.
Production
The setting tool/crossover
assembly is removed, (Figure 4)
and a production seal assembly is
made up on the completion
string to seal off in the packer
bore and the seal bore sub. The
perforated extension is thus
isolated, permitting the well to be
placed on production.
An optional gravel pack
extension with sliding sleeve,
which is shifted closed when the
setting tool/crossover assembly is
pulled from the well, can be used
instead of the perforated gravel
pack extension.

Dual-Zone Gravel Pack System
The Baker Oil Tools dual-zone
gravel pack completion shown
here illustrates only one set of
numerous available options. The
particular hook-up shown allows
the isolation of the lower zone
from all gravel packing operations
and pressures taking place on the
upper zone, thereby minimizing
fluid loss and potential formation
damage. Any number of Baker
New Model SC-1 packers can be
stacked in multiple-zone comple-
tions, requiring only one trip per
zone, or one trip for all zones, to
perform all necessary gravel
packing functions.
Procedure preparation
After the lower-zone gravel
pack has been performed and the
setting tool/crossover assembly is
pulled from the well, a packer
plug is set in the packer to protect
the lower zone. The upper zone is
then perforated underbalanced to
obtain clean, large-diameter
perforation tunnels. The packer
plug is retrieved, and the upper
zone is ready for gravel packing.
6
Running a Baker Model S-22
snap-latch seal assembly on the
bottom of the gravel pack
assembly ensures that the produc-
tion seals are properly positioned
in the lower packer. The seal
assembly features a low snap-in
force and straight-pull, snap-out
release.
The snap-out force can be used
as a strain indication that the seal
assembly is properly landed in the
lower packer.
Gravel packing the upper zone
This figure (Figure 5) shows an
upper-zone gravel pack after the
assembly has been run in, the
packer set, and the setting tool/
crossover assembly released and
positioned for gravel packing.
The bottom end of the washpipe
includes a perforated pup joint
and seal assembly. The seal
assembly seals off in a polished
bore inside the S-22B snap latch.
In this position, all return fluid
must flow through the screen and
the lower zone is totally isolated
from any pressure applied to the
upper zone. The gravel packing
procedure is the same as shown
for the SC-1 gravel packing
system on pages 4 and 5.
Reverse circulating
In this position, (Figure 6) the
gravel pack port is above the
packer. With the lower seals of
the setting tool/crossover assem-
bly sealing in the packer bore and
the reversing ball sealing on its
ball seat, the formation is isolated
from reversing pressures, prevent-
ing fluid loss to the formation.
Fluid circulated down the
annulus enters the gravel pack
port, reversing any excess gravel
out of the workstring.
Producing two zones
Here, a Baker Model A-5
Hydrostatic Dual Packer
(Figure 7) is run and set in the
final producing position. Both
zones can now be produced
independently, the lower zone
through the long string and the
upper zone through the short
string.

Gravel Pack Systems
Floating Rig Gravel Pack System
The floating rig gravel pack
system allows for positive
downhole positioning of the
gravel pack tools when gravel
packing from semi-submersibles
and drill ships. All standard gravel
pack positions are attainable. The
use of this system allows the
maximum safe working wave
height to be determined by the
operator and not by the limita-
tions of the completion tools.
Innovative design handles
vessel heave
The gravel pack tools designed
for this application provide
reliable positioning without
regard to vessel heave. Since
motion compensators can be set
to maintain a desired weight on
bit, this system uses compressive
loadings of the crossover tool and
lower workstring to position the
assembly, using operations
already familiar to rig personnel.
This is accomplished by using one
indicating sub and two carefully
spaced indicating collets, which
provide a set-down resistance of
15,000 to 20,000 lbf, (67,000 to
89,000 N) each.
Running in
The gravel pack assembly
(Figure 8) has been made up and
run into the well. After locating
the multiple-acting indicator seal
assembly into the sump packer,
the New SC-1 gravel pack packer
is set. Using the hydraulic release
feature, the setting, tool/crossover
assembly is released and raised
8
approximately 20 ft (6 m).
Slacking off on the workstring
will engage the indicator collets
on the indicator sub at each
position - reversing, circulating
and squeezing, respectively.
Gravel packing
The setting tool/crossover
assembly (Figure 9) has been
lowered until the top collet is
located on the indicating sub. In
this position, fluid flow will be
through the screen and into the
end of the washpipe.
Reverse circulating
Indicating on the bottom collet
(Figure 10), the gravel pack tool
is in position for reverse circula-
tion. In this position, the gravel
pack port is above the packer, the
lower seals of the setting tool/
crossover assembly are sealed in
the packer bore, and the reversing
ball is sealing on its ball seat,
isolating the formation from
reversing pressures and prevent-
ing fluid loss to the formation.

On conventional wells, the
screen is positioned across the

Gravel placement relies com-
pletely on the hydraulics of the
pump operation. Depending on
the formation, fluid loss control
materials may also be needed.
The Auger System utilizes the
Gravel Infuser and a formation
compatible brine carrier fluid to
prepack the interval. Gravel is
placed above the top of the
interval to minimize fluid losses
to the formation. The Auger
Screen Assembly is then augered
into the prepacked sand and
positioned across the perforated

Mini-Beta Gravel Pack System
The Mini-Beta gravel pack
system can be used to gravel pack
any number of zones with one
trip in the hole while providing
complete isolation between the
zones during gravel packing,
stimulation, or production. The
proper use and spacing of perfo-
rated production pipe, blank
production pipe, and seal assem-
blies permits selective production
or injection in any zone.
Running in
The gravel pack assembly
(Figure 15) for a two-zone
completion is shown here. The
entire assembly is made up and
properly spaced out for each well
in which it is to be installed.
Isolation between zones is
achieved with the use of a hydrau-
lically-set isolation packer.

S2P One-Trip System
for sand control and perforating
The SCP One-Trip sand
control and perforating system
can perform the entire comple-
tion with a single trip in the hole,
reducing rig time and minimizing
formation exposure to comple-
tion fluids. The system not only
allows the use of the one-trip
feature, but all the advantages
associated with underbalanced
tubing-conveyed perforating and
gravel packs.
Guns firing
The assembly has been made
up, (Figure 19) run into the well,
and guns positioned on depth
using a gamma ray and Collar
Correlation Log referenced back
to the Open Hole Log. The
Model SC-LP packer is set, and
with the bypass open, the
underbalance pressure is estab-
lished. The bypass in the packer is
then closed and the detonating
bar is dropped from the surface,
detonating and automatically
releasing the guns. Due to the
underbalance, the reservoir is
surged, and allowed to flow.
Killing the well
After surging and flowing the
well, (Figure 20) the bypass in the
Model SC-LP Packer is opened
and the reservoir fluid is reverse
circulated out of the well. Enough
kill fluid should be circulated to
remove all hydrocarbons and
formation debris from the tubing.
With the well stabilized, the
Model SC-LP Packer is unset and
the assembly is prepared to be
lowered for gravel packing.

than to resist the forces generated.
In doing so, the system makes use
of the Bakerweld high-tempera-
ture screen, which has a built-in
expansion system, and a thermal
expansion joint. All sealing
elements on the Model SC-I
thermal packer, thermal expan-
sion joint, and high-temperature
screen are rated to 670°F
(354°C).
A standard screen, when used
in thermal applications, fails at
the welded connection when the
longitudinal ribs separate from
the weld in tensile failure. A
thermal screen (Figure 27),
designed to float freely, will allow
for the expansion of the pipe base
while maintaining a thermally
stable seal between the base and
the stationary screen jacket. The
amount of expansion can be
determined for the particular
completion. Each screen joint is
constructed with enough “stroke”

A Baker Hughes company
Gravel Pack Systems
Model DAB Packer
The Model DAB retainer
production packer (Figure 32)
provides all the versatility and
high performance characteristics
of the Model D, with a larger
sealing bore at its upper end.
The DAB packer is frequently
used in complex multiple-string
gravel pack completions. Other
accessories such as seal bore
extensions, millout extensions
and other components can be run
below the packer to make it more
versatile.
Specifications for the Model
DAB packer are shown in Table 3.
24
Features/Benefits
The Model DAB packer has:
• Solid, slim-line construction
and a packing element system
that resists swab-off. This
provides a 50% faster run-in
time (compared to earlier
model permanent packers)
without fear of impact damage
or premature setting, yet packs-
off securely and permanently
when the packer is set.
• Two opposed sets of full-circle,
full strength slips assure that
the packer will stay in the
position that it is set.

Gravel Pack Extensions

Model S Gravel Pack

Extension with GP Sliding
Sleeve
The Model S Gravel Pack
Extension (Figure 35) incorpo-
rates a sliding sleeve above the seal
bore sub. The housing of the
sliding sleeve contains the gravel
packing ports. The lower exten-
sion is used to space the Model S-
1 shifting tool 4 ft (1.2 m) below
the lower end of the crossover
tool. The housing of the sliding
sleeve is made up on the upper
extension, which connects to the
bottom of the packer.
When the crossover tool is
pulled after completion of the
gravel pack, the shifting tool
closes the sliding sleeve as it is
pulled through. The GP sliding
sleeve may be opened again by
running the shifting tool down
through it.
No rotation is required to
operate the GP sliding sleeve.
The sleeve uses a positive engage-
ment collet, which - through the
use of the Model S-1 shifting tool
- opens and closes the sliding
sleeve with vertical movement
only.

Unique Screen Design

Enhances Performance
The EXCLUDERTM screen is
strong and damage-tolerant. The
combination of a protective
shroud, a unique filter membrane
and the reliable Bakerweld® inner Base Pipe
jacket deliver optimum produc-
tivity and extended screen life.
These features also help the
EXCLUDER screen resist erosion.
This minimizes production of
formation materials while
maximizing hydrocarbon produc-
tion over the life of the well.
The EXCLUDER screen’s
superior design makes it the ideal
well screen for a variety of open
hole completion applications.
These include:
• Horizontal completions
Bakerweld Inner Jacket
• Short-radius wells
• Re-entries and workovers.
Components of the EXCLUDER
screen are engineered for use in a
wide range of reservoirs and
operating environments and are
available in multiple metallurgies Vector Weave
and micron ratings.

Baker Oil Tools new

EXCLUDER screen
represents a significant
advance in well screen
design and performance.
This innovative screen
provides increased flow area
and superior performance
compared to prepack

33
A Baker Hughes company
Gravel Pack Systems
Vector Shroud Protects Screen
The EXCLUDER screen’s
durable vector shroud provides
protection against damage from
wellbore fragments during
installation. Once the well is
producing, the shroud design
redirects flow to minimize erosion
from formation materials. The
result is extended screen life and
enhanced production.
A typical well screen is quickly eroded
by high rate production. The EXCLUDER
screen's vector shroud redirects both
hydrocarbons and formation particle
flow, minimizing screen erosion and
extending the well’s productive life.
34
Vector Weave Inner Membrane Vector Weave
Provides Increased Inflow Area
The EXCLUDER screen’s unique
inner membrane delivers an inflow
area comparable to that of a forma-
tion face – ten times greater than
that of a prepack screen (30%
compared to a typical prepack screen
inflow area of only 3%). A single
layer, steel membrane is tightly
woven to deliver uniform pore
throat openings and a maximized
inflow area. The uniformity of the
membrane’s pore throat openings
helps form a more permeable filter
cake. In addition, particle flow is
once again redirected to minimize
erosion.
The membrane’s uniformity and
maximized inflow area extend screen
life to over eight times that of a
standard prepack screen. And the
membrane’s single-layer construction
promotes successful cake removal
with a simple back wash. This
extends screen life even further, as
compared to a prepack screen where
depth plugging limits backwashing
efficiency.
Bakerweld Inner Jacket
Adds Proven Durability
The EXCLUDER screen’s outer
shroud and inner membrane are
supported by the field-proven
Bakerweld inner jacket. This
additional support safely protects
the vector weave membrane when
encountering high differential
pressures. In addition to support,
the inner jacket’s gauged openings are
sized 25 microns larger than the
membrane openings, providing
secondary formation control. Bakerweld

Prepacked Screens
For openhole completions or
for cased holes where sloughing
sand is a problem, Baker Oil
Tools prepacked screens are ideal.
The screens are designed
specifically for wells in which
normal gravel packing problems
are more likely to occur. They
also are useful in multi-zone wells
where two zones are too close
together to build a reservoir of
gravel for the lower zone.
The prepacked screen is run
across the perforated section on Large ID Allows

prevent formation sand from
entering the tubing during
production. After it is run, the
well is gravel packed. Three types

Dual-Screen Prepack
There are three components in
the Dual-Screen Prepack (Figure
40):
• A smaller pipe-base Bakerweld
screen.
• A larger Bakerweld jacket that
is capped and welded to the
centered pipe base.
• A precured Baker Bond (resin-
coated gravel) between the
screen sections, sized to the
formation sands.
Dual-Screen Prepacks are
manufactured in 5, 10, and 20
ft(1.6, 3.3, and 6.6 m) sections,
have full joint strength, and may
be acidized through as needed.
Figure 40 – Dual-Screen Prepack
Gravel Pack Systems
Single-Screen Prepack
Sometimes the outer screen
jacket of Dual-Screen Prepacks
(Figure 41) can be damaged
when running in deviated wells
or through a casing window. To
avoid this problem, the Dual-
Screen Prepack can be replaced
with the Single-Screen Prepack.
This assembly uses a more
durable perforated outer pipe
jacket in place of the outer screen
jacket. Gravel packing around
this assembly is suggested to hold
the existing formation in place,
and to reduce the possibility of
plugging.

Slim-Pak Screen
Baker Oil Tools Slim-Pak

as the standard Bakerweld screen.
An industry first, this construc-
tion is made possible by the
innovative use of wire mesh

its small OD and large ID, Slim-
