... ; Lovick and Angeli 2004 ), which resulted in 30.1% mean absolute relative error, as shown in the figure below. Abstract Intelligent Wells (IWs) actively manage oil production and water breakthrough. IWs comprise Inflow Control Valves (ICVs), which are automated valves with multiple openings...

... Abstract Intelligent wells are equipped with tools for production control; however, they often do not answer the question of production zones allocation. Effective monitoring is only possible with an understanding of the inflow profile along the well; but, physical flowmeters are not cheap...

... in México, an intelligent completion was designed having that ability to remotely activate and modify the functioning of the area completed through flow control, as well as monitor the response and performance of each zone in real time. Conventional well completion design often ignores the occurrence...

... by keeping the steam chamber well drained, where liquid does not accumulate on top of the producer and steam is not produced. This is a challenging process even with the advances in well completions with smart or intelligent wells. In this study, the use of smart valves (ICVs) are investigated and their use...

... Abstract Intelligent wells are widely used around the world and they have the potential to significantly improve oil production or control water production of wells and fields. However, in many cases, the definition of the number and position of valves is still made considering only the well...

... the management of a field involves adjusting the production flow rates over a short time, maximizing the overall NPV during the life cycle of the field. Using intelligent wells (IW), the challenges include not only the optimization of well flow rates, but also the simultaneous adjustment of flow in each valve...

... 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...
