Novel technique used to manage water encroachment in wells requiring gravel packing in Colombia’s Ocelote field
A novel water packing technique for wells that require gravel packing for sand control, and inflow control device (ICD) functionality to manage water encroachment, has resulted in 100% pack efficiencies in Colombia’s Ocelote field. The technique has significantly reduced water cuts and substantially improved project economics.
