3M uphole sand recompletionsAs oil and gas wells reach the end of their productive life, there is a risk of leaving shallow reservoirs untapped left behind casing. These shallow reservoirs, including gas caps and thin bed formations, may hold valuable resources that are uneconomical to produce using conventional rig based well recompletions.

In Indonesia's Belida field, operators tackled this challenge by implementing rigless up-hole recompletions and utilising 3M Ceramic Sand Screens for downhole sand control. By employing this, operator was able to achieve high production rates from short reservoir perforated zone, maximising hydrocarbons recovery and extending the productive life of the wells and asset.
