Advanced well completion engineering

Wan Renpu; 01/08/2011

One of the few books devoted to the key technologies for all major aspects of advanced well completion activities, this volume covers all aspects of well completion activities giving in-depth technical advice for achieving operational excellence with advance solutions. Once a natural gas or oil well is drilled, and it has been verified that commercially viable, it must be 'completed' to allow for the flow of petroleum or natural gas out of the formation and up to the surface. This process includes casing, pressure and temperature evaluation and the instillation of equipment to ensure an efficient flow out of the well.The author summarizes and explains advances in technology while providing expert advice for deploying these new engineering systems. With this book, drilling and production engineers should be able to improve operational efficiency by applying the latest state of the art technology in all areas of well completion during development drilling-completion and work over operations.
