Velocity Strings in Sultanate of Oman Gas Fields; A Case Study

Abstract

Petroleum Development Oman operates large amount of gas wells in Sultanate of Oman. Due to the liquid loading occurring in these ageing assets, PDO has already installed 110+ Velocity String completions in the various gas fields across the concession area. In the 2015–2019 period, 39 wells in the Saih Rawl field were retrofitted with Velocity Strings. This paper presents the integrated and standardized approach to Velocity String candidate selection and compares the production performance post-installation against the forecast.
