Lessons Learned from 100 Intelligent Wells Equipped with Multiple Downhole Valves

Abstract: TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractThe last decade has been marked by the emergence of intelligent field technologies. Many E&P companies have moved from the piloting and trial-testing mode towards strategic implementation demonstrating that these technologies have shown their capabilities. While the current deployment of these technologies represents only a small fraction of the overall installation, the trend is indicative of the shifting of attitudes and preferences within companies.

“…These wells were extended to 2-to 3-km single-lateral horizontal wells by 2000, then to MRC multilateral (ML) wells by 2002, and to MRC ML wells equipped with hydraulic flow-control valves by 2004 (Salamy et al 2006). The drivers for increased reservoir contact and downhole control included lower unit-development costs, higher well productivity, higher cumulative-oil production before gas breakthrough, and control of production after breakthrough (Saleri 2002;Salamy et al 2006Salamy et al , 2008. Saudi Aramco has more recently embarked on extreme-reservoir-contact (ERC) wells with reservoir contact frequently exceeding 10 km by increasing both the number of laterals and their lengths.…”
