Completion – Definition
Definition:
y The methodology and technology required to produce
Schlumberger Private
recoverable reserves (reservoir to surface).
Process:
y The design, selection and installation of tubulars, tools and
equipment, located in the wellbore, for the purpose of
conveying, pumping or controlling production (or injection)
fluids.
