Abstract

A well completion assembly and method including apparatus for setting a liner hanger, screens and liner within a wellbore, performing an acid treatment and cementing a liner in a single trip.

Claims (34)

1. A method for completing a well in a single trip, comprising:

running into the well a liner, a liner hanger, at least one open-hole packer, a screen assembly, an inner assembly having a wash pipe and a fluid loss control device shifter, a fluid loss control device, and a double-poppet valve float shoe assembly on a work string;

performing an acid treatment by circulating fluid through the double-poppet valve float shoe assembly;

positioning the wash pipe and the fluid loss control device shifter above the screen assembly;

subsequent to positioning the wash pipe and the fluid loss control device shifter above the screen assembly and performing the acid treatment, closing the fluid loss control device without removing the work string from the well by lifting the work string to cause the fluid loss control device shifter to close the fluid loss control device; and

performing a cementing operation within the well subsequent to closing the fluid loss control device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: isolating a screen section of the well, wherein the screen section of the well includes the screen assembly, from a liner section of the well, wherein the liner section of the well is between a top end of the liner and the at least one open-hole packer, by closing the fluid loss control device above the screen assembly and below the open-hole packer after performing the acid treatment and prior to cementing the liner within the well without removing the work string from the well.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: isolating an annulus between a liner section of the well and a screen section of the well by setting the at least one open-hole packer without removing the work string from the well.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: setting a portion of the liner within a cased portion of the well.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: placing the screen assembly in a production mode and closing the fluid loss device includes closing the fluid loss device using the wash pipe that does not extend to the screen.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the work string comprises a plurality of liner sections and a plurality of screen sections and wherein the method further comprises positioning the plurality of screen sections and the plurality of liner sections within the well.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising: isolating an annulus between one of the plurality of liner sections and the well by cementing the one of the plurality of liner sections within the well without removing the work string from the well between isolating the annulus and positioning the plurality of screen sections.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wash pipe and the fluid loss control shifter remain positioned above the screen assembly during the method of completing the well.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the flow control device is a flapper valve or a ball valve.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising placing the screen assembly in production mode subsequent to performing the acid treatment.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the screen assembly is a hydraulic activated screen and the method further comprises activating the hydraulic activated screen.

12. A method for single trip completion of a well in an open hole, comprising:

running a work string into the well;

using the work string to position a liner, a liner hanger, at least one open-hole packer, an inner assembly having a wash pipe and a fluid loss control device shifter, a fluid loss control device, a screen assembly and a double-poppet valve float shoe in the well while circulating fluid through the double-poppet valve float shoe;

performing an acid treatment by circulating fluid through the double-poppet valve float shoe;

setting the liner hanger and the at least one open-hole packer;

repositioning at least a portion of the work string to activate an isolation functionality of the work string;

placing the screen assembly in production mode subsequent to performing the acid treatment;

positioning the wash pipe and the fluid loss control device shifter above the screen assembly;

subsequent to positioning the wash pipe and the fluid loss control device shifter above the screen assembly and performing the acid treatment, closing the fluid loss device without removing the work string from the well by lifting the work string to cause the fluid loss control device shifter to close the fluid loss control device; and

performing a cementing operation within the well subsequent to closing the fluid loss control device.

13. The method of claim 12 , further including isolating an annulus between the liner and the well by setting the liner hanger and cementing the liner below the liner hanger.

14. The method of claim 12 , wherein isolating an annulus between the liner and the well is achieved by setting the at least one open-hole packer.

15. The method of claim 12 , wherein placing the screen assembly in a production mode is performed without removing the work string from the well.

16. The method of claim 12 , further comprising: setting a portion of the liner within a cased portion of the well.

17. The method of claim 12 , further comprising closing the fluid loss control device after performing the acid treatment.

18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the work string comprises a plurality of liner sections and a plurality of screen sections and wherein the method further comprises positioning the plurality of screen sections and the plurality of liner sections within the well.

19. The method of claim 18 , further comprising: isolating an annulus between one of the plurality of liner sections and the well either by the at least one open-hole packer or by cementing one of the plurality of liner sections within the well without removing the work string from the well.

20. The method of claim 12 , wherein the wash pipe and the fluid loss control shifter remain positioned above the screen assembly during the method of single trip completion of the well.
