The Evolution of the Role of Openhole Packers in Advanced Horizontal Completions: from Optional Accessory to Critical Key of Success

Abstract: Openhole packers have been proven to be very effective in many different applications, including curing losses, controlling high-permeability zones and fractures, improving equalization in passive and active inflow control device (ICD) completions, and, most importantly, controlling water and gas production. The usage of these tools increased exponentially in the last few years and will continue to grow. This paper summarizes the most important findings and lessons learned about the role of zonal isolation in … Show more

“…Add-on packers (category 1-4) are inserted between two sections of completion tubing while constrictors slip over the existing production tubing or device without lengthening the completion string. The application and the specifications of the various types of packer were summarized by (Al-Khelaiwi, 2013) and (Gavioli and Vicario, 2010). APD values are the difference on pressure between two adjacent annular compartments.…”

“…1, was designed to be run in two trips to simplify the operation. The first trip deployed in hole was the ICD lower completion assembly consisting of a polished seal bore, ICDs, swell packers, mechanical packers, and the shoe track comprising of a wellbore isolation valve and a double float shoe (GPV) [2,3]. The ICD lower completion assembly was picked up and ran in the well with the shoe track comprising of a GPV float shoe followed by the wellbore isolation valve.…”

“…drawdown across a horizontal wellbore may be evenly distributed to avoid preferential production only in zones of high permeability or nearest to the heel where friction pressure losses are lower than at the toe (Gavioli and Vicario 2010). New sand control systems feature shunt tubes that enable gravel packing for improved sand control between isolation packers (Hecker et al 2011).…”
