Workover and completion fluids are specialized fluids used in the oil and gas industry during the wellbore workover and completion operations. These operations are essential for preparing a well for production or intervention.
Workover involves remedial operations to restore or enhance well productivity, while completion involves preparing the well for production after drilling.
Applications
1. Well Completion
Completion fluids are used to finalize the well construction, preparing it for production. They create a conducive environment for the flow of hydrocarbons from the reservoir to the wellbore.
2. Reservoir Drill-In Fluids
In some cases, completion fluids are designed to serve as reservoir drill-in fluids. These fluids allow for the drilling of the reservoir section while minimizing formation damage.
3. Well Testing
Completion fluids are utilized during well testing operations to maintain well control and provide a medium for the safe and controlled flow of reservoir fluids to the surface.
Functions
Wellbore Cleaning
Completion fluids are circulated to clean the wellbore from any remaining drilling mud, debris, or contaminants. This ensures a clear pathway for hydrocarbons to flow.
Reservoir Protection
Completion fluids are formulated to be compatible with the reservoir rock and fluids. They aim to protect the reservoir from damage during the completion phase.
Density Control
Achieving the right fluid density is crucial for maintaining well control during completion operations. This is particularly important in offshore or deepwater environments.
