The system was developed to make efficient use of a previously developed pumping process, which simultaneously incorporates fracturing with proppant, and chemical consolidation of that proppant. The system provides sand control by installing resin coated proppant during the pumping process on each of the production intervals but leaves the casing across those intervals unobstructed except for isolation packers, which can be used for production management during the life of the well.This new system enables low cost but highly productive completions, specifically enabling small and/or marginally economic reservoirs to be completed along with more valuable reservoirs. Multiple marginal reservoirs may be combined to make an entire project reach minimum required profitability. The system has been designed to allow low incremental cost for accessing additional reservoirs.The system was used for the first time in the Milne Point field on the North Slope of Alaska in a field operated by BP Exploration (Alaska). This paper will describe in detail the design and operation of this tool system, including component drawings, operational sequence drawings, and a field case history in which the equipment was used.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
