... breakthrough may reduce oil recovery. Autonomous Inflow Control Valve (AICV) technology tackles these limitations while eliminating/reducing the associated risks/costs with other inflow control technologies. This paper presents a series of successful pilot workover interventions deployed in the UAE to revive...

... Abstract Intelligent Inflow tracer technology can quantify zonal inflow contribution and identify the location of water breakthrough as its' primary monitoring capabilities. A novel chemical tracer system was permanently installed and successfully field tested in a horizontal oil producer...

... can include production of unwanted fluids such as gas or water from the reservoir. Passive Inflow Control Devices (PICDs) have been proven to be an effective solution for controlling influx to a well in the early stages of production life. However, breakthrough of unwanted fluid is inevitable...

... Abstract The most challenging aspect of reservoir management in a highly fractured carbonate reservoir is determining a completion that has the ability to control the production flux and prevent early unwanted fluid breakthrough while maintaining the production. Throughout the years, Saudi...

... inflow or later, when water breaks through. Pressure maintenance techniques such as water injection are among the most widely applied secondary recovery processes. When waterflooding is used, early breakthrough at the production well may occur due to reservoir heterogeneity. There are several possible...
