Design, Installation, and Initial Performance of Ultra-High-Rate Gas Deepwater Completions - Tamar Field, Offshore Israel

Abstract: A case history from Offshore Israel is presented that describes the successful delivery of five (5) ultra high-rate gas wells (+250 MMscf/D) completed in a significant (10 TCF) gas field with 7 in. production tubing and an Open-Hole Gravel Pack (OHGP). Maximizing gas off-take rates from a gas reservoir with high flow capacity (kh) requires large internal diameter (ID) tubing coupled with efficient sand face completions. When sand control is required, the OHGP offers the most efficient as well as the most relia… Show more

“…However, the reward for such expensive sand control installations is typically very low skins and sand-free production for the life of the well. The cost of a sand control remediation or a recompletion would by far outweigh the incremental cost of installing CHFPs or OHGPs in place of the more economical stand-alone screen techniques (King et al, 2003;Healy, 2012). Sand control completions currently installed in different deepwater fields by different operators (Table 2) show that the great majority in producer wells are OHGPs or CHFPs (Burman et al, 2013).…”

“…The key performance indicators (KPIs) and guiding principles that were developed to guide the decision making process for the completion design are discussed in detail in previous papers by the Authors. 16,17,19 These completion KPIs and guiding principles were coupled to a completion delivery process (for "critical" wells) which was originally published by the Authors in 2012. 16 The process is comprised of four (4) sequential phases.…”
