1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL


The purpose of this manual is to guide experienced engineers of all technical disciplines,
within the Eni-Agip Division and Affiliated Companies, in the completion design process and
its importance on well productivity, well servicing capabilities and completion life. These in
consequence, have a large impact on costs and field profit.
The Corporate Standards in this manual define the requirements, methodologies and rules
that enable to operate uniformly and in compliance with the Corporate Company Principles.
This, however, still enables each individual Affiliated Company the capability to operate
according to local laws or particular environmental situations.
The final aim is to improve performance and efficiency in terms of safety, quality and costs,
while providing all personnel involved in Drilling & Completion activities with common
guidelines in all areas worldwide where Eni-Agip operates.
The approach to completion design must be interdiscipline, involving Reservoir Engineering,
Petroleum Engineering, Production Engineering and Drilling Engineering. This is vital in
order to obtain the optimum completion design utilising the process described in this
manual.
The manual will provide the engineers within the various disciplines with a system to guide
them through the process with the objectives of helping them make the key decisions and
obtaining the optimum design to maximise productivity and, hence profit.
Many of the decisions made by the various disciplines are interrelated and impact on the
decisions made by other disciplines. For instance, the decision on the well architecture may
subsequently be changed due to the availability of well servicing or workover techniques.
This does not mean that the process is sequential and many decisions can be made from
studies and analysis run in parallel.
The design process consists of three phases:
Conceptual
Detailed design
Procurement.

The process of well preparation and installation of completions is fully described in the
Completions Procedures manual.
The activities in each phase are illustrated in figure 1.a, figure 1.b and figure 1.c.
The conceptual design process guides the engineers through analysis and key questions to
be considered. During this phase, the user will resolve many of the dilemmas, raised by the
interrelated decisions, at an early time. The final conceptual design will be used as the basis
for the detailed design process.
The conceptual design process begins at the field appraisal stage when a Statement Of
Requirements (SOR) of the completion is produced. It is essential that this is an accurate
statement including all the foreseen requirements, as it has a fundamental effect on the
field final design and development.

As more information is gleamed from further development wells and as conditions change,
the statement of requirements need to reviewed and altered to modify the conceptual
design for future wells. This provides a system of ongoing completion optimisation to suit
changing conditions, increased knowledge of the field and incorporate new technologies.
