“…The authors of [7,8] verified if the presence of hydrocarbons were commercially feasible, then production begin after careful installation of some special equipment in the well and this is known as well completion. The articulation between the surface facilities and the reservoir can equally be referred to as completion as stated in [9][10][11].…”

This paper proposes a completion that can allow fracturing four zones in a single trip in the well called “Y” (for confidential reasons) of the field named “X” (for confidential reasons). The steps to design a well completion for multiple fracturing are first to select the best completion method then the required equipment and the materials that it is made of. After that, the completion schematic must be drawn by using Power Draw in this case, and the summary installation procedures explained. The data used to design the completion are the well trajectory, the reservoir data (including temperature, pressure and fluid properties), the production and injection strategy. The results suggest that multi-stage hydraulic fracturing can be done in a single trip by using the ball-and-sleeve method. Metallurgy and hydrogenated nitrile are sealing elementary constituent of chromium which are essential materials found in alloy with 13% of chromium.

“…Hydrocarbons come from the decomposition of organic material (animals and plants) [1][2][3][4]. This organic material is transported by rivers and is deposited at the bottom of the seas or large continental lakes, which are the places where hydrocarbons are formed [5][6][7][8][9].…”

This paper proposes a cost-effective solution through a recompletion design of sand control to restart the production of a dead well named "X" (for confidential reasons). The data used to achieve the objective of this paper are the production parameters, reservoir properties and the previous completion design. The tool used to draw the new completion schematic is Power Drawn software. It is necessary to use two softwares (PowerDrawn and Pipesim), Ishikawa method and economic evaluation method. The different causes that probably contributed to the production stop in well X are given by using the Ishikawa diagram. The top sediment is obtained by using the sonic log and the clean-up is performed by using coiled tubing with a drill bit incorporated at the end. The mechanical packer is installed to isolate the formation, the pre-packed screen allows the filtration of hydrocarbons. The on-off tool ensures the installation of the mechanical packer and the minimum restriction for the passage of the equipment through the ones in place is 2.313 inches. After the installation of the recompletion, a positive return on investment is obtained and after a production time of one week. The financial aspect after installation of the recompletion shows that a recompletion of the sand control at lower cost is achieved.

“…Petroleum production engineering is a part of petroleum engineering that attempts to maximize and optimize oil and gas production in a cost-e ective manner [1][2][3][4][5]. Every producing well is drilled and completed in order to move the oil and/or gas from the reservoir (which is their natural location) up to the surface into stock tanks or sales lines [6][7][8][9][10].…”

A nodal analysis technique is used in this paper to optimize the production of oil in the well “X-3” located in the Rio del Rey basin. Several wells in that basin are facing a low productivity problem. That problem represents the key problem of this paper. The goals of this paper are to quantify the effects of four parameters (tubing size, flowline size, wellhead pressure, and skin) on production; to determine the causes of abnormally reduced productivity; and to choose optimal values to enhance the well flow rate. To achieve these goals, it is necessary to use well pressure volume temperature (PVT) and reservoir data and the nodal analysis technique. The nodal analysis method is applied at two main node points (wellbore and wellhead), where inflow and outflow performances are carefully reviewed with sensitivity analysis. The two nodal points are selected because of the high-pressure drops they observe. The analysis results showed that the selection of some wrong equipment diameters (production tubing and surface flowline) and values (wellhead pressure and skin) strongly influenced (badly) the flow rate. In fact, the increase in tubing and flowline diameters positively influenced the flow velocity, while the diminution in the wellhead pressure increased the flow rate as well. The production of the well increased from about 800 to 1000 barrels per day. Although nodal analysis remains an effective method to determine the causes of low productivity, it is limited compared to transient tests and production logging.
