1-2 Introduction
Mike Adams Test Well FacilityAs the demand for energy increases, the drilling and completing of wells continues to forge new boundaries. Higher pressures, hotter wells, and tool complexities require state-of-the-art testing facilities. Named in memory of one of our most respected Test Department leaders, the “Mike Adams” test well is designed to be safe, operationally efficient, and best in class for downhole testing of tools for both vertical and horizontal applications.
The Mike Adams facility is a modern drilling rig running on clean, quiet electric power with SCR controls. This big bore well has a cased hole configured with 20-in. × 13 3/8-in. × 10 3/4-in. × 9 5/8-in. casing. The 9 5/8-in. casing kicks off the vertical bore through a 16° per 100-ft radius in a horizontal section. The facility features a doghouse with a safe viewing room for customers, modern data acquisition system, dressing facilities, and office area.
Deep Well SimulatorsDeep well simulators at the Carrollton and Singapore Technology Centers test full-size, downhole tools in hostile environments. For example, high-temperature, high-pressure packers are tested in simulated conditions up to 1,000°F (537°C) and 30,000 psi (2067 bar) hydrostatic pressure.

Introduction 1-3
High-Temperature Test FacilitiesHigh-temperature test facilities (HTTF) are used to test experimental designs for use in high-temperature, high-pressure wells. Each HTTF has five below-ground heated test cells and one rapid cool down cell. The HTTFs are ideally suited for testing packers per ISO 14310/API 11D for all “V” class ratings. Each test cell is designed to accommodate assemblies up to 30-ft (9.14-m) and 30-in. (762-mm) diameter and has a temperature range up to 700°F (371°C). The device undergoing testing receives uniformly heated air to simulate severe temperatures down hole.
The rapid cool down test cell employs a self-contained chiller unit capable of cooling to 32°F (0°C). The HTTF control room contains Allen-Bradley touch screen controllers and a PC-based data acquisition system. The data acquisition system utilizes Rockwell Automation's RSTrend™ softwareto store the information in a format that can be analyzedor charted using Microsoft Excel® software. The information can also be printed directly from the DAQ system in a line chart format for immediate review. Cameras safely monitor the test cell area for potential problems without exposing technicians to high pressure or temperature. A gantry crane located above the simulator facilitates safe handling of long, heavy assemblies.
A special inert gas system makes the cell's sealed/contained atmosphere nonflammable. An oxygen analyzer and alarm system monitors the cell's atmosphere, and controls are provided to maintain inert mixtures for lower explosion limit control. The only pressure limitations of the system are imposed by the physical parameters of the test fixture and casing joints. Through this system, Halliburton is able to accelerate the development of new equipment technology already in demand by the petroleum industry.

Single-String Permanent Packer Completion Installation
This simple, versatile, single-zone completion features, from bottom to top, a wireline re-entry guide. The re-entry guide guides wireline tools that have been run below the end of the tubing string back into the tubing. A bottom no-go landing nipple allows for flowing bottomhole pressure surveys. The selective landing nipple allows the well to be plugged for testing purposes or so tubing can be removed without exposing the formation to kill fluids. A Perma-Series® permanent packer, a sealbore extension below the packer, and a seal unit assembly with locator isolate the upper permanent casing string from the formation and allow tubing expansion or contraction to occur. The sealbore extension could be eliminated and a shorter seal assembly with a latch-type locator could be used if little or no tubing movement is expected. The circulating device allows for selective tubing-to-casing communication. A tubing-retrievable or wireline-retrievable safety valve may also be used.

Single-String Retrievable Packer Completion Installation
When dealing with sensitive formations, it can be advantageous to lubricate a retrievable production packer into the wellbore under pressure. The packer serves as a temporary plug, while tubing is being run and completion fluid circulated, and then serves as a production packer. The Halliburton Versa-Set® packer is ideal for these applications. The Versa-Set packer is available in wireline-set or mechanical-set versions. The wireline-set version is set with a standard wireline setting tool or DPU® downhole power unit with wireline adapter kit. Using a standard on-off tool, the packer may be run with a plug installed at the top of the packer. Once set on wireline, the packer operates as a standard mechanical double grip with an on-off tool. It is used for testing, injection, and zone stimulation and can serve as a production packer, temporary bridge plug, or tubing anchor in a pumping application. The packer releases with a 1/4 turn right-hand release.

Dual-String Retrievable Packer Completion Installation
This dual-zone, dual-string completion uses an upper hydraulic-set retrievable dual packer and a lower permanent packer. The permanent packer and tailpipe are run first and set on tubing or wireline. The dual strings and dual hydraulic-set packer are then run with a seal assembly on the bottom of the long string. Once the dual strings have been landed and spaced out at the surface, a ball is dropped or a plug is set in the landing nipple below the packer in the short string. Pressure is applied to the short string and sets the dual packer. If a ball catcher is used, increased pressure causes the collet catcher to release, allowing the ball to drop out the end of the tubing. Circulation of completion fluids is achieved using the Sliding Side-Door® circulating device above and below the dual packer.

Coiled Tubing Completion InstallationCoiled tubing can be used in place of regular jointed production tubing in certain completions. Using coiled tubing allows for reduced completion/decompletion time while using standard completion equipment accessories. Special connectors allow standard completion components to be attached to the coiled tubing. GO™ or HGO mechanical utility packers can be used as an alternative tubing hanger to suspend coiled tubing in siphon string applications.
Shallow Completion InstallationA simple completion is illustrated for shallow applications using a Guiberson® G-6 packer and splined travel joint. A tension-set packer is normally used in shallow applications as weight is not available to set compression-set packers. This particular completion is used in steam injection applications. When replacing the travel joint with an overshot tubing seal divider, the completion is typical of shallow CO2 or water injection applications.

Tubing-Conveyed Perforating Completion Installation
Many types of Halliburton packers are used in completions with tubing-conveyed perforating guns, including Versa-Trieve® retrievable packers, Perma-Series® permanent packers, and others. Tubing-conveyed perforating guns can be run as tailpipe connected to the bottom of the packer or through the bore of a set packer. This installation shows a Versa-Trieve packer set on electric wireline. The tubing-conveyed guns are spaced out below the seal assembly, and the tubing is run in the hole. Before stabbing through the packer, light fluids can be circulated down the tubing to provide an underbalanced situation. The tree is installed and the guns are mechanically or hydraulically fired and released to open the tubing end.

Multilateral Technology
Multilateral systems help provide cost savings through increased reservoir exposure. The systems are available in a variety of designs and are the most innovative and reliable in the industry. Multilateral systems can be deployed in new or existing wells and are compatible with advanced sand control, fracturing, and SmartWell® completion system technology.
Multilateral wells can have many different completions strategies. In the most simplistic design, openhole laterals are drilled from the cased hole parent bore into a single reservoir where production is co-mingled. In other instances, the openhole lateral sections are drilled into separate reservoirs which require flow segregation. If lateral borehole stability is a concern, perforated liners or screens can be dropped into the openhole lateral section. In either scenario, standard Halliburton completion components can be installed in the parent bore for lateral flow control and/or isolation.

AV Annulus Safety Valve
The AV annulus safety valve is a fully retrievable high performance annulus safety system packer with integral annulus safety valve. The system provides annular bypass through a hydraulically operated valve array. The AV system is run in a single trip in conjunction with a setting sub.
ApplicationsThe AV system is used for the control of annulus fluids in gas-lift applications, for the monitoring of annulus pressures in critical situations, and in one or two-trip annulus safety system completions. The completion can be run to depth and set with the surface tubing hanger flanged up.
It can also be used in completions where spacing out against a subsurface tubing hanger is required, i.e., no elastomeric expansion joint needed. The tailpipe can be left in either tension or compression. It can be used where high tensile loads and pressure differentials exist with the completion anchored in unsupported or poor condition casing.

Isolation Barrier Valves in Dual-Zone Stacked FracPac™ Completion
When retention of wellbore fluids to minimize formation damage is crucial to the success of your deepwater sand control projects, integration of Halliburton's remote opening FS2 and mechanical IB4 fluid loss isolation barrier valve technology facilitates this requirement. Using the FS2 and IB4 valves in this stacked FracPac™ application allows sequential isolation of the respective zones immediately after installation and zonal treatments. The inclusion of the dual line hydraulic LV4 isolation barrier valve within the upper completion design provides a second fully testable bi-directional barrier for wellhead installation once the upper completion is installed.
The FS2, IB4, and LV4 isolation barrier valve designs feature a high-performance ball closure mechanism that provides a bi-directional seal.
The lower zone completion is installed and fully isolated post frac pack using a mechanical IB4 isolation barrier valve, which is closed when the collet shifting tool attached to the inner string locates the IB4 shifting profile. This in turn closes the valve when the inner string is retrieved fromthe well.
The upper zone completion is then installed incorporating a remote opening FS2 isolation barrier valve. A collet shifter attached to the bottom of the upper zone completion locates in the shifting profile of the lower zone IB4 valve, opening the valve prior to setting the upper zone gravel pack packer. The upper zone packer is then set and subsequent FracPac treatments concluded. The FS2 valve closure is completed when the collet shifting tool attached to the inner string locates the FS2 shifting profile, which in turn closes the valve when inner string is retrieved from the well.
With all zones now isolated with a remote-opening, fully testable bi-directional barrier, the upper completion can be safely and cost-effectively deployed.
The upper completion includes an LV4 isolation barrier valve. When used in conjunction with the FS2 installed in the sand face completion these isolation barrier valves can be used to facilitate wellhead installation.
Once wellhead operations are complete, and production is required, the LV4 valve is hydraulically opened and the FS2 valve is remotely opened by applying a pre-determined number of hydraulic cycles, resulting in significant savings in rig time.

Isolation Barrier Valves in Triple-Zone Stacked FracPac™ Completion
Integration of Halliburton's remote opening FS2 and stepped bore IB5 isolation barrier valve technology helps facilitate wellbore fluid retention to minimize formation damage in deepwater sand control projects. FS2 and IB5 isolation barrier valve designs incorporate a high-performance ball closure mechanism that provides a bi-directional seal. When used in a stacked FracPac™ application, these valves allow sequential isolation of the respective zones immediately after installation and zonal treatments and also provide unrestricted full bore access to all three zones once production is required.
The lower zone completion is installed and fully isolated post-frac pack using a stepped bore IB5 valve, which is closed when the collet shifting tool attached to the inner string, locates the lower shifting profile of the IB5 valve. This in turn closes the valve when inner string is retrieved from the well. A second larger collet, which will optimize the production ID, is attached to the bottom of the middle zone completion. This second larger collet will locate in the upper profile of the stepped bore IB5 valve, opening it prior to the middle zone gravel pack packer being set.
The middle zone is completed in the same manner as the lower zone.
Finally, the upper zone is completed with a remote-opening FS2 valve. The FS2 valve is then fully closed, isolating all three zones after frac packing when the collet shifting tool attached to the inner string locates the shifting profile. This in turn closes the valve when inner string is retrieved from the well, facilitating upper completion deployment.
The FS2 valve can be remotely opened when production is required, resulting in significant savings in rig time.

ESP Completion with Mechanical Reservoir Isolation
Operators can negate escalating rig cost concerns in electric submersible pump (ESP) applications using Halliburton’s mechanical IB4 fluid loss isolation barrier valve. In an ESP completion, the IB4 valve helps eliminate the need for expensive intervention or well kill operations previously required to perform a workover.
The IB4 valve incorporates a high-performance ball closure mechanism that provides a bi-directional seal and facilitates the initial isolation of the reservoir immediately after the lower completion installation. In addition, the IB4 valve provides infinite reservoir isolation/re-entry during upper ESP completion workover operations.
The lower completion is installed with a mechanical IB4 valve. The IB4 valve is closed after the zonal treatment by locating in the shifting profile of the valve upon inner string retrieval with a collet shifting tool. The lower zone is now fully isolated with a testable bi-directional barrier.
The upper completion consisting of a bi-directional collet shifter, isolation seal assembly, and ESP can now be installed. The bi-directional collet shifter, attached to the bottom of the upper ESP completion, locates in the shifting profile of the IB4 valve, opening it fully prior to the upper completion landing out. The isolation seal assembly directly above the collet shifter stings into the gravel pack packer sealbore extension prior to mechanical opening of the IB4 valve, providing annulus isolation prior to re-entry to the reservoir.
In the event of an upper ESP workover, by simply pulling the upper ESP completion, the bi-directional collet shifter locates in the shifting profile of the IB4 valve to fully close it, providing a fully testable bi-directional barrier for workover purposes.

Introduction 1-17
LV4 Isolation Barrier Valve in Extended Reach Perforating Operations
As well paths become more complex and larger sections of reservoir are exposed, the need to perform well interventions during the life of the well to maintain performance should be taken into consideration during well planning. Incorporating the Halliburton hydraulic LV4 isolation barrier valve enables operators to deploy long intervention strings without killing the well.
The LV4 valve design incorporates a high-performance ball closure mechanism that provides a bi-directional seal. Traditionally well intervention string lengths are limited to the length of lubricator that can be stacked on top of the production tree. The addition of a LV4 valve extends these possibilities by placing the swab valve within the tubing string below the production tree. This delivers operational cost savings and improves safety by reducing the number of surface rig ups and intervention trips required.
The LV4 valve is normally installed in tandem with the tubing-retrievable safety valve (TRSV) to provide a fully testable bi-directional well barrier for intervention purposes. Positioned above the TRSV, the LV4 valve provides a barrier for lubrication purposes, and when used in conjunction with the TRSV, protects the closure mechanism from damage in the event a toolstring is dropped. The dual control line balanced actuation piston used to function the LV4 valve allows for unlimited setting depths making it suitable for use anywhere within the wellbore. The ID through the LV4 valve maintains full access to the TRSV ID, helping ensure full functionality of both tools during the life of the well.

Deepwater Completion InstallationThis deepwater completion uses Halliburton’s FracPac™ system technology (see Halliburton Sand Control Solutions catalog) and components to make the completion’s capability as high rate as possible. Non-elastomer or metal-to-metal sealing is used in critical areas to ensure reliability. Full bore nipples and locks are used to maximize ID and eliminate slickline problems resulting from packing interference that can occur when standard locks are run through same-bore size landing nipples. A single-trip completion using the Mirage® disappearing plug to set the high-pressure retrievable production packer reduces running time and simplifies the completion.
Halliburton’s broad experience in deepwater applications includes subsea completions tension leg platforms (TLP) and spars. Some tools used in deepwater completions include mudline tubing hangers, SP™ tubing retrievable safety valves, and long space-out travel joints.
• Halliburton offers two types of mudline tubing hangers—the HGR and DHC. These tubing hangers are primarily used in deepwater completions to help support the high tubing loads, and in the case of the DHC design, act as an additional barrier.
• The Halliburton SP™ tubing-retrievable safety valve is a single rod-piston non-elastomer flapper valve designed for hostile environments and extended life applications where ultimate reliability is required.
• The Halliburton long space-out travel joint was designed to eliminate the space-out process required to install a production tubing string in a subsea completion. The joint is designed to collapse under a compressive load after a production seal assembly has been landed in a sealbore packer. After the joint collapses, the production tubing can be lowered until the subsea tubing hanger lands in the subsea tubing head spool.

• After the well is perforated, the CHAMP® IV packer is lowered and set below the perforations and the Versa-Trieve® packer is set above the perforations.
• The service tool is released from the Versa-Trieve packer and positioned for pumping operations.
BenefitsThe STPP-GH system helps provide increased safety as well as economic benefits by combining multiple operations in a single pipe trip. The single-trip system can help minimize completion fluid loss, reduce rig cost, and reduce well control risks.
