An operator had encountered inconsistent production in an offshore high-rate-gas well and needed a more suitable completion design for the planned three wells.
For the production rate expected (up to 100 million ft ³/d per well), large-bore (7-in) tubing was required. This type of well also demanded a large-bore packer that would withstand the harsh downhole conditions. Because of the offshore environment, it was critical that the packer minimize rig-related and intervention time, costs, and risks.
