This paper documents the testing, integration, and field deployment of a metal expandable packer used as an openhole toe isolation plug in a deepwater well under high-pressure, high-temperature conditions.
Three papers are highlighted as the primary contributions because of their broad industry relevance. They focus on improving formation particle-size characterization, expanding the application of openhole gravel packs in depleted and compartmentalized reservoirs, and advancing the understanding of capillary pressure in sand production.
This paper aims to establish a set of best practices for generating particle-size-distribution data from core samples.
