Intelligent Well Completion System

Intelligent Well
Completion System
Training Class Syllabus
to be adapted
According to customer
needs
Many reservoirs are
stacked up on top of each
other and many government
agencies will not allow
commingled flow and will
require sequential
production.
This might result in long
periods of low rate
production. In fact, many
may have been completed
in such a manner that their
maximum potential rate
cannot be achieved.
Intelligent well completion
system, use a systems
approach to optimize oil and
gas production in a well.
With Intelligent well
completion, wells can
achieve maximum
commingled rate, prevent unwanted effluent and
premature breakthrough,
obtain a better injection
efficiency, can intercept
reservoirs that contain an
active gas cap, reduce
water cut and water
handling costs.
Every reservoir intercepted
in a producing well can be
optimized to achieve the
most profitable flow rate.
Course Objective
The course provides an overview of advanced intelligent completions for oil and gas
wells. The benefits, applications and methodologies of completing intelligent wells will
also be discussed.
Learning Objectives
Participants will learn and understand how to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Identify Intelligent Wells and its Completion System components: from downhole
sensors and actuators (ICV, ICD and mechanically driven sleeves)
Learn Applications of Smart wells for Optimal Sequential Production.
Learn about Nodal analysis for Intelligent Wells Modeling, determining desired flow
and design of intelligent downhole valve.
Identify ways to increase productivity from Intelligent wells by Inflow Performance
Identification and Zonal Rate Allocation.
Hands-on exercises on intelligent well Modelling and Value Quantification to build
nodal analysis models to determine the desired behavior of remote actuators.
Compute Well operating envelope with emphasis on reservoir and well completion
aiming to provide basis for decision support of type of completions (Smart or not) to
produce the most without jeopardizing the integrity.
Learn a general overview of Digital Oilfield and Real-time production optimization by
sharing the best practices and lessons learned after 10 years of digital oilfield (DOF)
implementations
