Running a completion assembly without killing a well

摘要

A technique to place a completion assembly in a well while maintaining the well in an underbalanced condition includes running a plug on a deployment tool to a desired depth in the well. The technique includes setting the plug in the well; retrieving the deployment tool; and running the completion assembly on a setting tool into the well to engage the plug. The technique includes releasing the plug; running the completion assembly and plug to a desired depth in the well; and setting the completion assembly in the well. The setting tool is retrieved, which includes retrieving the plug.
