One-Trip Completion System Eliminates Perforations

A new completion system replaces conventional tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) and gravel packing. This technology also eliminates formation damage caused by perforating and reduces skin values. It is a new-generation, screenless-sand-control completion system. A telescoping conduit containing sand-control media composed of stainless-steel beads was chosen for its durability and erosion and plugging resistance. The system contains no explosives, eliminating many issues.
