Well completions
Well completions refer to the process of preparing an oil or gas well to effectively extract hydrocarbons. This involves installing equipment and barriers to control flow, ensuring the well is secure, and optimizing production. The completion phase includes casing the well, setting up tubing, and sometimes perforating the surrounding rock to allow oil or gas to flow into the well. Proper completion is crucial for safety, efficiency, and maximizing recovery, as it facilitates controlled, sustained production while minimizing environmental risks.
