Usage of swell packers

22 March 2011 Dear All

Normally swell packers along with sliding sleeve are placed in barefoot horizontal portions to meet the following :
1. To isolate less prolific portions by putting blank tubing´s.
2. To control water production by closing sliding sleeve.
3. To segment the horizontal portion to handle formation heterogeneity.
4. Used at heel or toe to isolate unwanted production of gas/water.

Please enumerate the benefits / advantages if any of using swell packers with entire perforated tubing´s . I would also apprecaite any feedback on member experiences when using with entire perforated tubings.

Feedbacks may please be given on this aspect.

Regards,
