Swelling Packers: Lab Testing and Field Application

The best well completion is the lowest cost one that meets the demands for the well during its life time. There are different<br>aspects that we need to consider when designing completion such as reservoir consideration (Allen and Roberts, 2006).We<br>can have openhole completions, perforated casing completion, or horizontal completions. In this study, we present lab<br>evaluation of oil and water swelling elastomers for potential field application in Saudi Arabia fields.
