Details for "Northside - Frac-Pack Design Methodology: A Recipe to Success"

Frac-pack is a preferred cased hole sand control completion technique for wells that are prone to sand production.  At inception, hard rock hydraulic fracturing design concepts were being applied.  However, the learning curve has been steep resulting in better understanding and significant improvement in design methodology. 

 

This presentation discusses the process required to properly design a frac-pack.  Recent developments in fluid selection and accurate prediction of closure pressure are presented. Deepwater challenges and means to overcome them are addressed.  Case histories will be shown to demonstrate the importance of following a systematic design approach.  In essence the presentation focuses on effective ways to lower the skin and consequently optimize well performance.

Speaker Bala Gadiyar

Bala Gadiyar is a Principal Engineer at Schlumberger, based in Sugar Land, Texas. He holds a BS from University of Pune, and a MS and PhD from University of Oklahoma. All degrees are in petroleum engineering.  He has over 10 years of industry experience out of which 9 years have been in sand management services.  He has authored more than 15 papers.
