High-productivity horizontal gravel packs To increase productivity and reduce cost and complexity, horizontal wells ofthen are completed without casing across pay intervals. Stand-alone screens have been used in openholes, but increasingly, operators are gravel packing long intervals to stabilize boreholes, provide more reliable completions and mitigate sand-related problems such as erosion, surface handling and disposal
