Abstract
In this paper we describe the challenges and the techniques used to deliver zero perforation skin wells in the<br>Blacktip gas field offshore Australia. We describe the software models used to evaluate both the well perforation design and<br>the operational risks, and the approach used to reduce rig time. Software modelling based on historical experimental data and<br>newly developed rock perforating models, showed that cleanup with dynamic underbalance would deliver the highest well<br>productivity. Minimum rig time utilization was achieved with wireline conveyed guns.
