Presenters
Justin R. Moos Packers Plus Energy Services USA, Inc.

Traditionally, ball-drop completion systems were limited not only by application, but by pressure, rates, and stage count. This paper shows the history of the ball-drop completion systems in the Permian Basin and looks at how the development of new technology has allowed ball-drop systems to be used in more than just open hole applications, as well as how this technology has overcome the aforementioned limitations.
