Deployment of the World's Longest Sandstone Production, Nozzle-based ICD, Partially Cemented System in an Offshore Horizontal Well

摘要

Given the current downturn in the oil and gas industry, the smart design and implementation of state-of-the-art drilling and completion technologies are key factors toward an optimum return on investment. The goal is cost savings, a maximum productivity index, and an effective operational strategy with minimum risks involved. As part of these efforts, Saudi Aramco successfully deployed the world's longest 4 1/2" partially off-bottom cemented liner with a sandstone production equalizer system in an offshore field in Saudi Arabia.
