Due to the sensitive nature of gas hydrate reservoirs, special cares and equipment designs are necessary during drilling and well completion of gas hydrate wells. Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to describe special well completions operations such as cementing, perforations, sand screen or gravel packing, and well completion strings during completing gas hydrate wells.
