Completion Functions
• Provide pathway for fluid from the reservoir into the wellbore
• Provide pathway for wellbore fluids to surface
• Control the production rate from the reservoir
• Isolate problematic sections of the well • Allow access for well maintenance
• Enable stimulation

Subsurface Safety Valve
• Deployed on tubing • Prevents uncontrolled flow from a well
in the case of an emergency • Typically shallowest downhole
equipment • Activated by a change in conditions • Designs vary by application • Most stringently tested product in
completions

Isolation Devices - Packers
• Mechanical device – seal between casing and tubing
• Located above producing zone(s)
• Parts – Sealing element – Slips (anchors) – Setting
mechanism • Well control • Corrosion control
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 16
Packers Types
• Permanent • Retrievable
• Mechanical set • Hydraulic set • Cased Hole • Open Hole
• Inflatable • Swelling
Flow Control Devices – Sleeves
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 18
• Position-able valves allowing a flow path between the inside and outside of tubing
• Shifted via several means – Mechanical – Hydraulic – Electric
• Multi-cycle and multi-position versions available
Flow Control Devices – Nipples
• Profiles placed in tubing able to receive latching accessories
– Accessories include plugs, chokes, check valves
– Accessories typically retrievable

Structural Devices – Hangers
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 20
• Mechanical devices that anchor sections of pipe
• Typically use slips to attach deployed pipe to host pipe
• May be run with packer to provide isolation
Filtration Devices - Screens
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 21
• Filters built onto perforated tubing
• Intended to limit the size of particles that can be admitted into the tubing
• Usable in – Open-hole – Perforated casing – In conjunction with
other filters Expandable

Application Specific Completions
• Sand Control Completions – Aimed at limiting production of solids
• Unconventional Completions – Enable efficient, multi-stage fracturing treatments and
minimize time until production begins
• Intelligent Completions – Allow active control of completion subsystems via electric or
hydraulic control – Limit need to re-enter well
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 26
Sand Control Completions
• Tools & services to minimize or prevent sand production in unconsolidated reservoirs
• Drivers: reliability, production
enhancement, efficiency, long term production
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 27
Controlling Sand Production Minimizes…
• Equipment damage
• Maintenance costs
• Well plugging
• Disposal costs

Open Hole
FracPacking
• Similar to gravel packing
• Higher pumping pressures and rates
• Rock strength or fracture pressure of rock exceeded
• Breaking or ‘Fracturing’ the formation
• Packing near wellbore to similar to gravel packing

Sand Control Pumping Services
• Slurry – Combination of proppant/sand and
carrier fluid
• Carrier Fluids – Engineered fluids designed to carry
proppant with one viscosity, and then “break” to a lower viscosity allowing to return to surface

Unconventional Completions
• Completion systems enabling multistage Hydraulic Fracturing
• Drivers: efficiency, reliability, cost

Coiled Tubing Annular Fracturing
Intelligent Well Systems
• Wells able monitor and adjust the condition of downhole devices
• Often in offshore environments, where cost of re-entry is prohibitive
• Enhancements of previously discussed equipment
© 2011 Baker Hughes Incorporated. All Rights Reserved. 37
Well Monitoring
• Discrete Gauges permanently installed on completion assembly to measure real time
– Discrete Pressure – Discrete Temperature – Flow Rate – Water Cut – Density
• Distributed measurements – Fiber Optic Distributed
Temperature – Distributed acoustic
