High Rate Water Pack (HRWP) treatments are performed around the world in cased hole wells to combine the benefits of gravel packing with some of those of fracturing. Despite their popularity as a sand control technique, there has never been a software model developed for their application in soft rock formations, so their design and execution has been largely driven by a trial and error approach.

This webinar covers the design considerations of HRWP treatments and introduces the first software model combining both wellbore packing and creation of small fractures in soft rock formations. We’ll look at how this can be used in the planning and evaluation of HRWP treatments to reduce risk, maximize packing and continuously improve operations.
