The well in the current (original) condition.
For New Completion: This is generally the way the drilling rig left the well, so it is usually simple. Note that by tradition we do not show other casing strings nor the wellhead. But these can be important, so do not forget that other casing stings exist in the well and that there is something on the top.
For Workover: This sketch may be very complicated, with lots of equipment already in the well!

A series of chronologically organized steps that the operations team should follow to get to the proposed sketch.
Generally involves placing items into the well or pulling them out of the well, and doing so in such a manner that the reservoir pressure is always contained – no unwanted flow of reservoir fluids to the surface!

get to – the final state of the well. There is a lot of engineering that goes into this sketch; which is the overall subject of this skill module. Consider for now several questions:
Why perforate that interval? Why just perforate, and not frac or gravel
pack? Why run that packer and that size tubing? Why run tubing at all?

There may be slight or major differences
There may be significant deviations
The engineer will use the morning reportsto develop a final post well sketch
Morning ReportsFinal Post Well Sketch
Morning Reports
Morning ReportsA report that the operations team prepares daily, usually in the morning (6 AM is a typical report time).
These reports are industry standard. Globally, every company uses something similar. The format and content may vary slightly, but all contain similar information.
Reading these reports is important for most disciplines and managers involved in upstream activities.
What does your company use as a morning report tool?

Which zone? Multiple zones?
Engineering Design Components
Completion Location
Do we need sand control or fracturing?Primary Sand Face
Completion Method
Almost always required – how?Perforating
What equipment is needed for safety and flexibility –over the well’s life
Upper Completion Selection
Based on reservoir inflow over the life of the well, rate, pressure, fluid composition
Tubing Selection
Needs to hold reservoir pressure and not damage (be compatible with) the reservoir
Completion Fluid
Consider your barriers (usually two required) at each stage of the operation
Barriers
What Engineering Went into this Procedure?
Typically, some combination of open hole well logs and core data is used to help identify the zones and determine the relevant properties.
Which zone or zones? Where are our target zones of interest? Is there just one zone of interest or are there
more? How are we going to approach this completion
from the targets initially?

What Engineering Went into this Procedure?
Primary Sand face completion method
Lower Completion
Just run casing and perforate (a satisfactory option if the reservoir is consolidated and has reasonable permeability)
If the reservoir is unconsolidated, you may need to install some form of sand control
If the reservoir has very low permeability, you may need to fracture the reservoir

In most cases, we will need to select our perforationstrategy as part of this sand face completion – guntype, shots per foot, etc.
See the Sand Control Core and Onshore Unconventional Well Completions Core
modules for more information.
Christmas tree
General requirement to have two barriers in place for any operation
A barrier is used in place for any uncontrolled lossof produced fluids leading to the environment
Barriers change throughout completion/workover operations – this is different from drilling operations where the two barriers (mud and the BOPs) are fairly constant

What Engineering Went into this Procedure?
Includes: Selection of the flowing conduit (usually up
through tubing with a packer installed, but not always)
Type of packer Selection of other equipment (in this example
the wireline reentry guide, the XN landing nipple, and the sliding side door), and mightinclude others, including subsurface safety valves.
Upper completion selection
Selection of components
The selection of those components will be based on a range of factors including safety and long‐term flexibility
Must select tubing size, grade, andconnections Requires analysis of Darcy’s Law
Also look at pressures and the long‐term drive mechanism to determine the optimum tubing
Barrier
Barrier
What Engineering Went into this Procedure?
Select the metals and elastomers Based on fluid components, pressure,
and temperature Select the completion fluid
Selection of completion fluid
Always a clear brine, NOT drilling mudMultiple factors: Completion fluid must have sufficient
hydrostatic head from the density to control the reservoir pressure at reservoir depth
Completion fluid must be able to controlthe reservoir pressure while in the completion phase
Completion fluid must also be compatiblewith the formation, both the rock and the reservoir fluids.

What Engineering Went into this Procedure?
If your well is capable of flowingnaturally at pressure, then a treewill need to be selected.
Select a tree based on pressure, and any corrosive fluids you may have.

Cooking Analogy – Introduce the Basis of Design
Planned outcome
List of ingredients
Basil chicken recipe
Marinate chicken for 4 hours in a blend of balsamic vinegar, juice of 2 lemons including the lemon pieces, olive oil, fresh rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper
Prepare basmati rice with sliced mushrooms
Prepare sautéed broccoli, olives, red bell peppers, and green beans, add drizzle of soy sauce and splash of sherry
Prepare salad of lettuce, fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, and salad dressing of choice
Cook chicken in cast iron skillet, with lemon pieces, turning frequently until done, season with garlic, salt, pepper
Place cast iron skillet with chicken in oven on warm with whole fresh basil leaves on top
Lightly wilt spinach in some of the juices from the cast iron skillet
Serve chicken on the wilted spinach, basil on top, with rice, vegetables, and salad

Basis of Design
What is a Basis of Design (BOD)?
The BOD is the “why” to the program’s“what”
BOD is all the things you (should) consider when developing the proposed sketch and the procedure/equipment selection
Many of these things you consideredhave significant uncertainty at theCompletion stage since this occurs atthe beginning of the well life
BOD is critical to document

1. Run 3.5” tubing2. Run 13 chrome tubing3. Perforate at 8000’–8200’4. Use Service Company X
for all equipment5. Install sand monitoring on

1. Reservoir properties indicateinflow is best handled by 3.5”
2. Reservoir fluid analysisshows CO2
3. Interpreted Petrophysical logsindicate the best “pay”8000–8300’, but the reservoirdrive is expected to bewater influx
4. Procurement has a sole sourcecontract with “X”

CHECK
Daily morning reports are reviewed by the Operations and Engineering team
ACT
Immediate corrections may be made to the well completion based on new data
The AAR, morning reports, and the post sketch all feed into the next PLAN (a revised Basis of Design and Proposed Sketch).
Many companies actively follow a Project Managementapproach to well drilling and completions.
Several major service companies have divisions that offer fully integrated drilling and completion package divisions, “total” packages, and these typically are built around the project management methodology.

Drive Mechanisms
Generally, three main types of drive mechanisms areconsidered active in the Petroleum Industry.
Solution Gas Drive
Gas Cap Drive
Water Drive
• There may be a combination ofmore than one type, and theymay have differentcontributions to the overall driveof the reservoir – weak vs.strong water drive, for example
Depletion or Gas Expansion
Water Drive
For Oil Reservoirs
For Gas Reservoirs
Solution Gas Drive
Solution gas drive
• The gas dissolved in oilcomes out of oil andexpands pushing the oil outof the reservoir
