A selection method of the horizontal wells completion

The completion of horizontal wells can be done by different ways and depends on production constraints and the reservoir characteristics.The selection of a completon method is directly influenced by the degree of rock consolidation, the need for water or gas shut off,the anticipated flow rate, the completion longevity, the shale reactivity and the stability, the degree of grain sorting and the lamination.In this article, the possible methods for the horizontal well completion are shown. Also, it is presented the horizontal well completion selection flowchart. This algorithm is made on the basis of a large number of wells’ analysis considering reservoir characteristics and production constraints
