In your hands: a full range of openhole sand management services

Transcend

The Schlumberger Transcend* family of openhole sand management services represents a wide range of offerings, with robust and highly customizable solutions.

Fueled by the evolution in drilling technologies and the increasing number of longer, more highly deviated, and horizontal wells, the market for openhole completions has expanded. With this expansion, the need has grown for sand management services that can accommodate any type of openhole completion, anywhere in the world. Schlumberger Transcend integrated services are designed to prevent sand productionfrom the identification of potential sand problems through the final stages of the completion process, and all the associated challenges in between. These services include screens and inflow control devices, integrated water packing technologies, Alternate Path gravel packing systems, and reservoir measurements

obtained in real timeall provided with the multidisciplinary support of Schlumberger sand management experts. Combining comprehensive services and Schlumberger expertise can help you prevent sand production and maximize productivity and hydrocarbon recovery. Along with the growing openhole completion market come challenges related to complex environments. Deepwater developments, unconsolidated sands, and unstable formations with reactive shales create difficulties related to gravel packs that require creative solutions. The Transcend family of services meets these challenges through its full, flexible portfolio of highly reliable instruments that facilitate reservoir management and prolong the life of the completion.

Sand management an integrated approach, a common goal.

Transcend sand management services can be used separately or in combination, according to the requirements of a well, reservoir, or project.
Reslink screens and inflow control devices Screens, one of the main elements of sand control completions, are specially designed to block formation sand while allowing formation fluids to be produced. In combination with inflow control devices, screens can be used to control production throughout an openhole section, particularly in long horizontal completions. Correctly applied, these devices help ensure uniform production and eliminate coning, which can reduce a wells productive life. The broad Schlumberger Reslink* sand screen portfolio includes robust and reliable sand screens for stand-alone frac pack and gravel pack applications, as well as inflow control devices for producer and injection wells. AquaPac integrated water packing technologies Water packing has become the most widely accepted method of gravel pack for openhole completions. The Schlumberger AquaPac* system is based on years of experience and expertise in fluids and tool technologies. The process requires thorough preparation and meticulous implementation to ensure success. The entire cycle design, execution, and evaluationis supported by software with integrated modules for tool and pumping calculations, simulations, and optimal treatment in both vertical and horizontal wells. OptiPac Alternate Path gravel-pack system The OptiPac* Alternate Path gravel pack system is designed to overcome the challenges of long horizontal intervals and multiple-zone completions. The Alternate Path system is the optimum choice for openhole gravel pack completions in extreme conditions, including formations with low fracture gradients and highly reactive shale environments. A pioneer in the industry, Schlumberger has the longest and most extensive track record with alternate path systems in openhole completions. Among the most recent offerings are innovative technologies for zonal isolation and control. IntelliPac measurements in real time As a well is produced, reservoir conditions inevitably change. Recognizing and reacting quickly to these changes in real time is necessary for maximizing well performance over time. Detailed measurements in real timea crucial component of reservoir managementhelp identify the critical changes, such as premature water or gas breakthrough. Schlumberger provides IntelliPac* realtime measurement capabilities that begin with sand management and support reservoir management for the life of the well.
