Until recently, the only way to successfully gravel pack challenging wells in narrow pressure operating windows required adjusting the placement pump rate, fluids or down hole hardware. As margins become smaller, even these changes become limiting and a new approach is required. With the advent of Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), a new method for gravel packing these wells has become available – Managed Pressure Gravel Packing (or MPGP).

In this webinar, we discuss this new method and demonstrate practical examples using PackPro, the industry-standard sand control software, which now incorporates the ability to design and evaluate MPGP treatments.
