Completion strategies selected for a specific reservoir can play a vital role in productivity and ultimate success of a field operation. Even though open and cased hole have been the dominated completion approaches, cavity-like completion has gained tremendous popularity in the industries, due to its simplicity and economic reasons. Such a completion strategy allows engineers to remove the possible formation damage, increase the near-well permeability, seal the gas between liner and formation to prevent possible steam leakage, and ultimately save costs.
