- W1979278662 abstract "This article, written by Assistant Technology Editor Karen Bybee, contains highlights of paper SPE 96396, The Dynamic Bottomhole Pressure Management: A Necessity to Gravel Packing Long Horizontal Wells With Low Fracture Gradients, by Z. Chen, SPE, and R.J. Novotny, SPE, BJ Services Co., prepared for the 2005 SPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, Dallas, 9–12 October. Unconsolidated formations are commonly found in offshore reservoirs where long and ultralong horizontal wells are required to produce heavy oil economically. Gravel packing is an efficient and cost-effective sand-control practice for these high-permeability, large-porosity, low-fracture-gradient formations. Successful placement of the gravel-pack completion requires that these low-fracture-gradient wells not be fractured during gravel placement. A dynamic-pressure-management scheme is critical to maintain bottomhole pressures (BHPs) in the required range. Introduction Horizontal-well openhole screen completions have been performed for years and offer many advantages. These advantages can be offset quickly by failure if the job is not carefully designed and executed. This is especially the case for wells with long and ultralong horizontal wellbore sections in unconsolidated formations with low fracture gradients. Although horizontal openhole gravel-pack completions have continued to gain acceptance as reliable completion techniques, they are still under development and often encounter new challenges. In some cases, there may not be any safe operational windows under conventional operation procedures. Dynamic BHP Management During gravel placement in horizontal wells, BHP must be monitored constantly to avoid fracturing the formation. Any excessive leakoff will cause a screenout and, thus, an incomplete sand-control completion. To ensure a successful packing job, an effective BHP-management scheme needs to consider both job-design time and actual job execution. Gravel-Packing Model The gravel-packing physical phenomenon in a horizontal well can be described as alpha-/beta-wave packing. Several flow patterns can be encountered in a given section, affecting the pressure-gradient/flow-rate relation. During alpha-/beta-wave packing, a stationary bed is created at the bottom of the flow path and a heterogeneous mixture of solid particles and carrier fluid flows through the upper part (Fig. 1). The stationary bed at the bottom of the flow path builds up and grows forward like a wave; it is from this that the expression alpha wave is derived. The flow path or void above the alpha wave will be packed after the alpha wave packs forward to the bottom of the screen. In the alpha-/beta-wave model, it is assumed that the space above the alpha wave will be packed backward to the top of the screen. The packing process during this phase exhibits a pistonlike movement, packing all the space backward, and is named the beta wave (Fig. 2)." @default.
