Field-scale gravel-pack studies have shown that openhole gravel packs have higher productivity than cased-hole gravel packs; however, in the latter, well productivity can be improved by increasing the size and number of perforations. Results also show that cased-hole gravel-pack productivity can be enhanced by prepacking gravel outside the …
