While every sand control completion is designed for success, things don’t always go to plan during the installation. Failures can range from minor issues that can be easily remedied to catastrophic events that put the entire well, and investment, at risk. Regardless of severity, it is critical that all failures are analyzed to determine the root cause, prevent them from being repeated and protect asset value.

This webinar introduces several case studies of failures that occurred during sand control installations and discusses the investigative process and techniques used to identify the root causes. Examples include events such as screen/wash-pipe damage, bridging, hole collapse, and packer seal failure. The webinar will provide key insights into downhole events and mechanisms that can be used to minimize risk and improve future completions.
