Completions and Flowback Design Evaluation in Relation to Production

Abstract

The chapter begins with basic definitions of landing zone and explains the relationship between number of perforations, entry-hole diameter, and perforation phasing with production data. Other important parameters in completion design, such as having bounded or unbounded well, up dip or down dip well, and well spacing are also discussed. The role of water quality and sand and water per foot in production performance is also another important topic discussed in this chapter. Detailed discussions on flowback design, flowback equipment, and spacing guidelines are presented. This chapter concludes with tubing analysis.
