Abstract
The Al Rayyan field came on production in 1996, and has from the outset been completed with coil tubing deployed<br>ESPs (CT ESP). The drivers for this type of completion are several. Firstly economic, as these units are installed and<br>pulled using coil tubing with a CT unit permanently located on the platform. This results in significant savings in not<br>requiring a rig, and greatly reduces deferred production losses as no significant mobilization activity is required.<br>Production rates are such that the necessary annular flow can be achieved in 9-5/8C_" casing.
