Key aspects and an efficient ICD design workflow will be presented. The evaluation is based on the application of nozzle...

... Abstract In Q4 2017, the first extended-reach horizontal oil producer was completed in S-Field, with the horizontal section designed with nine isolation compartments with swellable packers. Each compartment was configured with an inflow control device (ICD) and an integral sleeve (on/off...

... breakthrough in a cost-effective manner whilst allowing increased oil production was a key goal from operators in this field. Passive Inflow Control Devices (ICD) were introduced to the global oil and gas market in mid/late-1990's, and the first generation of Autonomous ICD (AICD) that can help reduce more...
