An Evaluation Method for Screen-Only and Gravel-Pack Completions

Abstract: Screen-only and screen with gravel-pack completions have become more commonplace in long horizontal wellbores in poorly consolidated reservoirs. Several of the formations currently being completed pose challenges in selecting effective sand-control screens due to their non-uniform particle size distributions and the large amount of very small particulates. Early screen and gravel-pack studies, from which common scaling factors were derived, did not always contain the smaller particle sizes th… Show more

“…Test Method. The laboratory test method has been described in detail in an earlier publication (Hodge et al 2002). Screens are tested with one or more sets of formation sand taken from the target reservoirs.…”

“…There is significant industry experience and a wide range of publications that reference plugging and sand-retention testing for selection of sand screens (Hodge et al 2002;Mathisen et al 2007;Ballard and Beare 2003;Ballard and Beare 2006). However, there is currently no recognized industry standard to extend this type of small-scale media qualification testing to include full-joint screen testing (FJST) to qualify the final manufactured product's performance specifications.…”

“…Given these challenging parameters, several steps were taken to reduce the potential for completion failure and sand production. The screens were designed with a 75-mm nominal opening size to allow effective retention of formation grains and to act as "standalone-screen" completions in case any voids were left in the gravel pack (Hodge et al 2002;Constien and Skidmore 2006). To provide durability and buckling resistance, and to comply with the requirement for 75-mm opening size, premium metal-mesh laminate screens, instead of wire-wrapped or prepacked screens, were selected for the B25 and other completions.…”

“…US 30/60-mesh ceramic proppant was selected because it provided the best balance of sand bridging, retained permeability, and low plugging characteristics (Fig. 2) (Hodge et al 2002;Constien and Skidmore 2006).…”
