    Well Completion: Seminário de Engenharia de Petróleos

    Uploaded by

    Logan Lum
    The document discusses well completion, which refers to the process of making a well ready for production after drilling. It describes how completion must be designed before drilling based on the well's purpose, location, reservoir properties, and more. The two main completion types are openhole and perforated completions. The completion process involves setting casing, cementing, installing downhole equipment like packers and valves, and perforating the production casing. Smart wells that use sensors and remote-controlled valves are also discussed to optimize production.

    The key takeaways are that well completion involves installing downhole equipment like casing, cementing, and perforating to enable safe and efficient production of oil and gas from a well after drilling. Completion design considers factors like well purpose, environment, reservoir properties, and production conditions.

    The main phases of well completion are checking and conditioning the borehole, setting surface and intermediate casing, cementing, installing the wellhead and christmas tree, setting production casing, perforating, and installing downhole equipment.

    The main categories of completion design are openhole completion and perforated completion.

    WHAT IS COMPLETION?
    Before we start drilling, we must design the
    completion, and after that, drill the well based on
    that assumptions.
    Once the well is drilled to the desired depth
    (reservoir), the formation is tested and evaluated
    to determinate, if the well is going to be
    completed for production, or plugged and
    abandoned.

    COMPLETION START
    Surface Casing is started in
    drilling to prevent the colapse of
    the well
    Cementing is done most often
    beetween casings
    The diameter of the well is
    smaller as we are going more
    deeper.

    The production casing is the last


    to be installed, before the liner.

    Packer is a sealing device. It
    expands externally to seal the well
    bore. It helps in blocking the fluids
    through the annular space
    between the pipe and the well
    bore wall.

    SMART WELLS
    Offer the possibility to respond to changing conditions in the
    Reservoir.

    Combine existing state-of-the-art technologies such as wireless


    technologies, remote sensing capabilities, remote control
    mechanism and robotic tools.
    Remote sensors can immediately show what is going on in the
    down hole.
    Valves down the hole can be adjusted, controlling flow or shutting off
    production at one level and increasing it from another.
