The essence of most drilling operations in our industry is to open the maximum length of reservoir formation with the minimum damage to the rock surface. This should allow maximum efficient flow of the desired reservoir fluids into the wellbore and to the surface. The proper completion of a well will ensure that production is not denied or restricted, and enough care is taken to ensure that all the investment made in drilling the well is safeguarded. The term “completion” covers a gamut of activities related to stopping the movement of wellbore material into the well, the running of tubing and attachments needed to flow the reservoir fluids to the
surface safely, the installation of subsurface equipment to increase production, and to provide well protection. One short article will not be adequate to do justice to this very important element of providing energy for the world.
My first experience with well completions was in the Niger d

In terms of having African businessmen launch a company and utilize indigenous human resource capacity to deliver first oil, Af
