Popis: This paper documents the utilization of fracpack completion technology for water injectors in sand control environments. This paper is a look back after five years of operation. It includes a review of the goals of the project and issues that occurred during the operation of the field. There is a discussion of the influence of the installation execution quality, the resulting injectivity index, analysis of the Hall Plot for the wells, analysis of the pressure decline from recent field shut-in, assesses the injection pressure versus the fracture pressure and comments on the tubing change out workovers. The results indicate that the fracpack completions are a very resilient and robust sandface completion for injectors. They have allowed injection below fracture pressure even after five years of injection with more than 400 emergency shut downs, cross flow, and filtration bypass.
