“…There may be multiple reasons for the failure of the CRC Frac to control sanding. For instance, not all perforations received CRC sand during placement, steam from surface did not reach and cure CRC in the entire section, and non-CRC sand had already bridged over some of the perforations before or during treatment 9 . The CRC fracture treatments are no longer used in Duri.…”

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractThere are numerous technical papers and supporters of both cased-hole frac pack (CHFP) and open-hole gravel pack (OHGP) completions. There are even supporters for casedhole gravel packs (CHGP) of certain situations. Arguments in favor of one completion strategy versus another can be defended for various reasons, and as such debate regarding the preferred method has continued for many years. The correct completion strategy is the one that provides the most value for the asset(s), usually measured in terms of NPV or DPI. These factors are a function of capital investment.Early work completed to support CHFP wells for Duri concluded that, among other things, such completions would yield: (1) the same or better production when compared with OHGP; (2) a 28% savings in operating costs; and (3) improved zonal conformance resulting in 2-5% better recovery 1 . This paper reviews in brief the history of completions in Duri. It documents the performance results and compares them with the predicted results. Furthermore it explores whether the assumptions made to support CHFP (as noted above) remain true and applicable for development of new areas within the Duri steamflood area. The following objectives have been developed: 1) Compare cased-hole and open-hole completions for application in Duri; 2) Revisits results from previous tests performed in Duri; 3) Determine whether the decision drivers for recommending CHFP completions (for Areas 9, 10 * , 11 and 12) were accurate and, more importantly, are still applicable; and * A10 was recommended for CHFP completions but was changed for financial / budgetary reasons 4) Provide a recommendation and establish "best practices" for completing new area wells in Duri.
