Challenge: Increase gravel-pack completions
efficiency in an offshore reservoir in which a brine-base carrier fluid had
been previously used.
Solution: Replace brine with PrimoPAC
invert-emulsion gravel-pack carrier fluid for enhanced inhibition and improved
gravel placement achieved through ideal viscosity.
Results: Surpassed productivity index (PI)
forecast by 30% with 100% gravel-pack completion efficiency across four wells;
reused large percentage of PrimoPAC fluid on subsequent jobs in the field.
