Advancements in Openhole Completion Technology - Establishing and Sustaining Differentiating Sand Control Completion Performance

Openhole completions are often selected as the preferred completion technique to maximize reservoir flow potential and<br>provide reliable, high capacity, low skin completions. In many environments, these completions will also require some form<br>of sand control. To meet development objectives, operators are continually challenged to select, design, and install fit-forpurpose<br>completion strategies to optimize ultimate recovery for these fields. These challenges necessitated the creation of<br>new practices, procedures, and hardware to ensure consistent delivery of reliable wellbores, across the entire organization, to<br>achieve long-term, economic success.
