... Abstract A distributed temperature senor (DTS), that uses a multimode fibre, has been used historically for flow profiling in intelligent wells. In horizontal oil production wells, it is difficult to determine the flow profile due to lack of geothermal gradient. In water injector wells, the DTS...

... technology. Since this would be the first intelligent-well completion in Troll field and the first ever for Statoil using feed-through swellable packers, a full scale test to qualify the technology was required. Swelling and differential-pressure tests were initiated using oil from the Troll field. Testing...

... Glandt (2003 , 2005 ) gave a comprehensive review of intelligent wells and their value related to reservoir management, where the method of using the downhole valves’ position information and the gauges’ P/T (pressure/temperature) data estimate flow allocation has been described. Furthermore...

... Abstract Throughout the past decade, the reservoir management and interventionless flow control benefits of Intelligent Well Systems have made them a perfect fit for deepwater developments. Approximately 90% of current deepwater wells are subsea, and the number of subsea wells is expected...

... Intelligent well completion has various applications in the subsea deepwater environment. In an offshore environment among other benefits, an intelligent well enables an operator to reduce intervention, remotely monitor and control downhole fluid flow, optimize well production and reservoir...

... Abstract Intelligent well systems are gradually gaining ground in the development of hydrocarbon assets. One of the reasons is the value added by the technology in maximizing production relative to conventional systems because of its flexibility in reacting to detrimental production conditions...

... Abstract The commercial application of Intelligent Well Technology is fast approaching the ten year milestone. Expanding the range of advanced completion and monitoring products with particular focus on reliability engineering has been the main theme for this sector. As this technology has...

.... The applications of intelligent well today are much beyond the original vision of the technology that measurement and control become possible without intervention and their associated costs by installing permanent downhole monitoring and flow control devices connected to the surface. In addition...

... Abstract Traditional barriers to general industry acceptance of intelligent well technology have been cost, reliability, and integrated functionality; but, over the past decade, the number of operators that have started to recognize the value potential of intelligent wells has grown...

... plan for maximum flexibility. Intelligent well technology was required to mitigate these uncertainties in two of the five Na Kika fields, enabling an economic development. The final development plan for Na Kika featured four intelligent wells that would develop reserves from a total of eleven discrete...

...Introduction Abstract Intelligent Well Completions (IWC) is an emerging technology, which allows operators to optimise reservoir management and field facilities performance. The implementation of this technology has generally been restricted to new field development due to the perceived...

... Abstract The value of intelligent well completions combined with ESPs comes from the capability to restrict or exclude production from specific zones experiencing water or gas breakthrough. This technology may be applied to horizontal wells, multilateral wells, wells that produce from...

... Abstract 4D seismic is a valuable tool for reservoir monitoring and improved reservoir management. With the introduction of intelligent completion systems arizes the opportunity of a continuous monitoring of the near wellbore formations from the well. Future intelligent well completions may...
