Operators can reduce costs and risks involved in completing wells by using pressure-pulse communication, absolute well pressure, or a hydromechanical valve to set wellbore packers. In deepwater, ...

Once a well has been drilled, the decision must be made: Will this well become a producer or be plugged and abandoned as a dry hole? Should the operator decide to move forward with developing the well ...

An advanced intelligent completion system that combines remotely operated, hydraulic adjustable chokes, downhole sensors, and semiautomated surface control has accelerated production, increased ...

Role summary: A well completion engineer on offshore rigs leads the design and execution of the well’s final downhole hardware and fluids to safely transition from drilling to production or injection ...
