HP/HT tools allow completion of challenging wells

摘要

Canada's liquids-rich Duvernay shale has been the testing ground for innovative solutions in reservoirs that are defined by a unique set of completion challenges, including high fracture gradients and breakdown pressures, high differential pressures, and geological heterogeneity. As operators continue to drill and complete deeper and increasingly challenging wells in emerging plays, they are relying on advances in completion technology that can accommodate HP/HT ratings to perform the desired stimulation. Ongoing exploration and development in unconventional reservoirs has continued to push the technological boundaries of downhole equipment.
