Sand-Control Completions in Long Intervals

20–22 October 2008
Florence, Italy

Market study depicts significant growth in sand-control completions in subsea deep water. Typically, deepwater reservoirs are multizone and pay interval lengths are long. Advancements in drilling technology have enabled the drilling of long wellbores, both vertical and deviated. The execution and deployment of sand-control completions in long intervals are in their infancy stage. The environment where these completions are performed poses new challenges, such as laminated zones, watersensitive formation, poor sorting, early water/gas breakthrough, and low pore-fracture pressure margin. There has been a considerable interest in the industry to develop technology and best practices for the emerging long-interval sand-control completions.

The purpose of this SPE Applied Technology Workshop is to address current techniques, best practices, challenges, and technology gaps related to sand-control completions in long intervals.

Workshop Objectives

  • Review various completion techniques for both cased and open hole.
  • Share best practices and establish key issues.

Who Should Attend

The workshop is a limited-attendance meeting for up to 80 people and is designed for professionals
in the oil and gas industry who are involved in the planning, designing, executing, and evaluating of
sand-control completions. The workshop is aimed at people whose principal job falls into any of the
following categories:

  • Completion Engineering
  • Drilling Engineering
  • Production Engineering
  • Field Development and Operations
  • Petroleum Engineering
  • Reservoir Engineering
  • Geology/Geoscience
  • Geomechanics
