Perfecting Gravel Packing With Managed Pressure Control

Avoiding losses and achieving a full screen out when gravel packing with our unique pressure management solution.

Overcoming Challenges in Open Hole Gravel Packing

Open Hole Gravel Packing (OHGP) involves placing gravel laden fluid in the annulus, where increased frictional pressures during the Alpha and Beta wave can exceed the reservoir's fracture pressure, causing losses. These losses result in incomplete gravel packs, jeopardizing the well’s production, especially in horizontal and extended reach wells.

 

Managed Pressure Gravel Packing | Enhanced Drilling

Achieving Reliable Gravel Packing

Conventional strategies often fall short in managing the dynamic pressures of OHGP, leading to premature losses and incomplete packs. The EC-Drill® and EC-Drill ® Dual MPD offers a unique managed pressure drilling approach which regulates the annulus pressure throughout the gravel packing process, achieving a full screen out without exceeding the fracture gradient.

Innovative Pressure Management in Gravel Packing

To successfully complete gravel packs in challenging reservoirs, the right tool is required.  EC-Drill® and EC-Drill® Dual MPD offer a different pressure control, using the Controlled Mud Level (CML) to adjust the pressures during the gravel packing. This solution ensures optimal gravel placement, even for complex downhole conditions.

EC-Drill® & EC-Drill® Dual MPD 

Achieving Reliable Gravel Packs with EC-Drill®

EC-Drill® can be used to adjust the pressure during OHGP operations to avoid going on losses and ensure all the gravel gets in place as planned. The system is a critical tool for achieving a successful gravel pack and minimizing negative impact on the reservoir. 

Key Benefits:

  • Achieve full screen out
  • Avoid losses while gravel packing
  • Enable use of higher density completion fluids
  • Solids free production
