Panel: Engineering a Better Gravel Pack

Presented on Wednesday, December 4, 2013

Regional geologic formations should determine the type of gravel pack used for a specific well. Gravel pack is the next frontier in achieving smarter well design. The use of varying materials in gravel packs has provided new options in the last two years—one size no longer needs to be able to fit all. What compositions are best suited for various geologic regions and are more likely to prevent collapse? This panel will address the new options available and how they can best be matched with specific conditions.
