Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-000272

Describing a well completion method where the final section of the wellbore is left without casing or a liner. The producing formation is open to the wellbore, allowing reservoir fluids to flow directly into the hole. This completion style is suited for competent, stable rock formations like some carbonates or sandstones that will not collapse under production.
