... simulation. We adopted a philosophy in GLOW of relying on our understanding of the underlying physics as much as possible to achieve our goals. We found that most of our problems, like the diagnosis of steady-state gas lift injection through multiple valves or solving for the optimal allocation of gas lift...

... Abstract Interval Control Valves (ICVs) are important tools for managing production challenges such as localized water or gas breakthrough, particularly in multilateral wells and horizontal wells with open-hole completions. This paper describes an automated workflow designed exclusively...

... Abstract Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) first started completing Smart Wells in 1999, trialing standalone technologies such as permanent downhole gauges and inflow control valves in individual wells. Once these were seen as successful, the technology was used extensively on a single platform...

... measurements. The same process is being carried out for the remaining laterals by operating the inflow control valves (ICVs). The assessment of the laterals productivity indices revealed a huge contrast between laterals of the same well. The stronger lateral dominates the flow, thereby not allowing flow...

Higher than expected injection pressure in excess of the maximum differential pressure rating of the open hole isolation packer in one field is preventing the DHFC system from achieving its objective. In summary, DHFC...
