... situated in the gas cap of a giant Middle East onshore field. The objective of the study is to thoroughly investigate different smart completion designs which can effectively delay water breakthrough on the gas cap wells. The study investigates the impact of adding smart well completion designs like ICD...

... Abstract Inflow Control Device (ICD) completions can improve well performance by adjusting the inflow profile along the well and reducing the influx of unwanted fluids. The ultimate aim of using ICD completions is to provide maximum oil recovery and/or Net Present Value (NPV) over the life...

... Abstract Inflow Control Devices (ICDs) and their variants autonomous inflow control devices (AICDs) have been deployed in horizontal wells in the onshore asset for more than thirteen years. The technology was adopted for their utility to manage: well inflows, sweep efficiencies, pressure drops...

...-or three-position valve can be integrated with ICDs (includes AICDs/AICVs) and allows mechanical shifting at any time after installation to close, stimulate or adjust ICD settings. After a computer-aided design stage to achieve all the operational/mechanical requirements, prototypes were built and tested...

... Today, several conventional production logging methods are used: Field and geophysical research with PLT; Using ICD, ICV couplings (smart well completions ICD, ICV); Using fiber optic sensors and additional software; Tracer-based studies (marker technology). Conventional PLT...

... Abstract This paper describes optimal field development and appraisal in complex reservoirs and challenging environments in field ‘ABC’. Most of the wells are laterals with ICD (lower) completions across heterogeneous carbonate reservoirs. Highly corrosive environments i.e. up to 20% H2S...

... Besides designing the appropriate ICD completion for the specific well and field objectives, an important step of successfully executing the job, is reaching the target depth for the completion. This can be a challenge, particularly in extended reach wells, which are common in the Middle East...

... With pressure applied, all the ICDs in the string are still in the isolated position. At this point, it is feasible to complete a pressure test and set hydraulic devices such as openhole packers. Opening Once the applied pressure is bled off, the ICD is then free to move into the open...

... Abstract To prevent or minimize problems associated with water coning in horizontal oil producers, inflow control devices (ICDs) are installed along the wellbore to better equalize the toe-to-heel flux. Nozzle-based ICDs are popular because they are: 1) easy to model accurately, 2) virtually...
