TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 1.972.952.9435. AbstractThe stacked sands of the South Tapti field have presented completion challenges from field start-up in 1997 to the present-day. A large part of these challenges have been caused by reactive shales interbedding the sand bodies. This has had a persistent influence on the sandface completion design and, in particular, on the drilling and completion fluid systems.The completion design has evolved from stacked cased hole gravel pack to open hole gravel pack designs. Non-gravel pack open hole designs are also being considered for the future to meet the challenges of drilling and completion at higher well angle. The field requires a mix of all these techniques to meet well objectives.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
