IMPROVING RESERVOIR COMMUNICATION WITH A WELLBORE

摘要

A method and apparatus for improving reservoir communication includes, in one arrangement, use of one or more chambers (114, 124) to create an underbalance condition or fluid surge in the wellbore. In other arrangements the underbalance conditions are created through the use of a packer (310), circulating valve (307), and atmospheric chamber (304); a subsea blowout preventer (402), a choke line (412), and a kill line (414); through the use of a perforating gun (402); and through the use of an arrangement including a tool string, closure member, chamber (10), and ports (16), with a tool (30) adapted to perform in a low pressure condition in the tool string.
