Completion
The concept of well completion has been gradually enriched, perfected, and updated by the progress of science and technology. Both exploration and development wells have well completion procedures and are concerned with well completion problems.NoDoC Model focuses on the development of well completion, which can also act as the reference for exploration and production wells.
The outdated concept in the world is that well completion is the final procedure of drilling, which includes casing setting, cementing, and perforating after drilling through the target formation. During recent years, with the wide use of new techniques and technology in many areas, petroleum engineers have acquired a deeper understanding of the microscopic characteristics of oil and gas reservoirs and taken some measures to protect reservoirs from damage. In the meantime, with the application of different well completion methods, the productivity of gas and oil wells has been enhanced. Due to the progress of technology in these two aspects, the individual-well production rate is augmented. Well completion not only includes casing setting and cementing, but also is closely bound up with enhancing the productivities of oil and gas wells. This is the new concept of advanced well completion, which widens the range of well completion.
However, until now, the definitions of what advanced well completion is, what contents it contains, and what the relations with drilling and production are have not yet been clearly and systematically presented. NoDoC is prepared to answer all of these questions systematically and to make well completion more scientific, systematic, practical, and operable.
