PetE 476
Well Completion and Stimulation
Description
A design course covering new developments in the area of well engineering. Will include construction, completion, and stimulation of oil/gas wells.Co-requisite: PET E 364.
Learning Outcomes
Compare and contrast different well completion methods and identify the most appropriate method for completing a given well considering the on-site environmental conditions.Determine tubing/packer forces considering various downhole temperature and pressure conditions.
Determine optimum perforation size and density for a maximum production performance ( i.e. minimize perforation related skin factor and increase production rate)
Apply design procedures for executing hydraulic fracturing treatment.
Determine the formation pore pressure and fracture pressure gradient of various formations anticipated to be drilled during the construction of a well.
Determine the casing setting depth for a planned well construction.
Determine composition of casing string (i.e. weight, grade and length of each casing section) considering anticipated collapse, burst and tensile loads such that selected composition will be safe and economic.
Determine the cement slurry composition, density, and volume required for the cementing job, and provide the hydraulic design (i.e. determine flow rate, frictional pressure losses, surface injection pressure, effective bottom hole pressure, etc.) of the cement circulation.
Design by selection the most appropriate screen size, slotted liner size, and gravel size for effective sand control.
Design, as part of a major team open-ended project, a well construction program for a planned well, which includes designing all aspects of casing, cementing and tubing characteristics such that the proposed project will be safe, economic and have the minimum environmental impact.
