Bigfoot™ Toe Sleeve - Anadarko Basin

“You just saved us tens of thousands of dollars on this job and a whole lot of time!” — PetroQuip customer

Once the perforations were made, the well was controlled using the Frac Pack tools in the string. The perforating packer was then unset, the screens placed across the perforated interval and then the sand control packer was set.

The job was pumped at 20bpm and screened out at ~5,500psi successfully. Excess gravel was reversed out of the tubing string via reverse circulating two tubing volumes of 10.4ppg brine to surface. Once the frac-pack operation was finished, the service tool and wash pipe was removed, isolating the well via the set sand control packer and the APCV II valve within the 3-way crossover assembly. The APCV II valve (and Port Closure Sleeve) were pressure tested to 500psi for 10 minutes successfully. The well was then displaced to 8.7ppg KCl for the running of the upper completion. The seal assembly, nipple profiles, gas lift mandrels and safety valve were all run on a 2 7/8” 6.5# L80 completion string.

The string was pressure tested while running into the well and then landed inside of the sand control packer. The APCV III with PASS tool was then opened for production via applied pressure to the tubing string and then bleeding off as per the PetroQuip procedures.

Since this well, this operator has deployed a number of PASS Tools and APCV III’s in order to mitigate risk and reduce cost. There have been many different configurations and well designs. In all of the applications, the PASS Tool and APCV III have performed as designed. It is expected that this technology will be deployed in many future wells around the world.
