The objective of the invention is to smoothly merge the influx flow
streams with the wellbore flow stream so as to reduce the pressure drop
along the perforated section of the wellbore liner. There is disclosed a
completion liner for a well for the production of hydrocarbons is
provided with angled ports through the sidewall which reduce pressure
drop along the length of the liner. There is also disclosed short
imperforate completion tubing for a well for the production of
hydrocarbons is concentrically mounted alongside substantially only the
perforated section of the production tubing to cause production fluids to
initially flow toward the wellhead along an annulus defined between
completion tubing and the production tubing prior to exiting the annulus
and commingling a with fluids produced from further down hole. There is
further disclosed a completion casing for a well for the production of
hydrocarbons which is provided with angled perforations through the
casing sidewall which reduce flow resistance along the length of the
casing.
