Baram field is a mature oil field in Sarawak, Malaysia and it is the largest and most structurally complex field in the Baram Delta Province. The reservoirs are thinly stacked and predominantly friable and unconsolidated requiring active sand control by gravel packing techniques being the most reliable sand control method available. Sand production in Baram wells resulted in several wells being shut-in, low oil production and costly surface maintenance to remove the sand. The drawbacks of gravel packing techniques were its high wellbore skins due to gravel carrier fluids, intermixing of gravel and fine sands, and blockage of gravel filter bed from fines migration over time resulting in lower well PIs and flow efficiencies through the gravel pack (GP) completions. This paper reviews the gravel packing techniques applied in 47 completions in Baram South with the aim of identifying the most optimum method for gravel packing in future Baram South wells. A statistical tool called Taguchi Method for Design of Experiment and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were employed to analyze impact of the well deviations, gravel packing techniques and permeability variation on skin factor. It is a simple and reliable tool to analyze extensive amount of data and introduces the signal-to-noise ratio as an indication of effect each variable has on the output (skin). The statistical study concluded that the most suitable gravel packing technique for Baram South is High Rate Water Frac (HRWF). The GP technique adopted appears to be the dominant factor contributing to the skin while the type of reservoir and the deviation of the well have minimal effect.
