→Special Considerations for Producing and Injection Wells
==Special Considerations for Producing and Injection Wells==
==Special Considerations for Producing and Injection Wells==
The completion technique applied to a well depends on whether the well is a producing well or an injection well. For a producing well, the number of different reservoirs that may eventually be produced is significant. A decision must be made on whether a single or multiple completion will be made. One should be aware of stimulation treatments that may be required or the possible need for artificial lift equipment to produce fluids from the wellbore. Information on Christmas trees, tubing spools, packers, and downhole equipment needed to produce the well should be carefully designed and included in the completion program.

If a well is to be an injection well, one should be aware of the intervals that will require completion for the injection of fluids. The engineer should have an idea of the anticipated injection rates and pressure that will influence the design of the completion program. Extra effort should be made to ensure that the casing, tubing, wellhead, and cement programs are carefully designed and that the mechanical condition of the well during completion is excellent.
