TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractA new cost effective life-cycle profile control completion system has been developed to solve major problems associated with surveillance and interventions in horizontal and TAML level 2 multilateral wells completed with ESP. each other and can be selectively produced, shut-off or stimulated. The need for CT interventions for production logging and water shut-offs is removed. The water shut-off process offered by this technology is reversible.

Almost a decade has passed since Saudi Aramco implemented its first intelligent completion in a remote area field. Nowadays, the field is the crown jewel of intelligent well completions worldwide, with a large number of inflow control valves (ICVs), a permanent downhole monitoring system (PDHMS), and multiphase flow meters (MPFMs).This paper summarizes the lessons learned from the assessment and optimization of hundreds of laterals in the field. It also shows how proper ICV utilization leads to production optimization throughout the field. It sheds light on the best practices that helped to realize the full potential of those installations. Finally, the paper ends with recommendations for the way forward and conclusions.Examples will be discussed in detail to show clearly the benefits and results that could be harvested from the use of intelligent completions. These examples will show some of the benefits that include the revival of dead laterals, controlling undesired fluid breakthrough, and managing sweep efficiency.

fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractA well in the Shaybah Field was recently worked over by converting the existing 1-km horizontal section to MRC (maximum reservoir contact) well with a total reservoir contact of 18,443 ft. The objectives of the workover program were to improve well productivity by maximizing the reservoir contact as well as to install solid expandable liner as a conduit for downhole flow control system in the future.The original horizontal section was first extended by 6,462 ft, before running expandable liner. Installing a 1,008 ft 5-1/2" expandable liner in near horizontal section encountered considerable difficulties in this well, first with liner stuck, then experiencing stuck expansion cone during the final stage of liner expansion. After these problems were finally overcome, top of expanded liner was successfully pressure tested. Two laterals were sidetracked successfully out of the expandable liner (Lateral -1 = 4,615 ft and Lateral -2 = 7,366 ft) to access additional flow contribution from the reservoir. This paper describes the experiences and lessons learned from hole preparation, running and expanding expandable liner, window exits of expandable liner, and subsequently drilling two 5-1/2" laterals.
