Intelligent well technology is an oil and gas well optimization completion technology
integrated with underground real-time monitoring, data analysis decision-making and …

Multilateral wells (MLWs) equipped with multiple flow control devices (FCDs) are becoming
increasingly favored within the oil sector due to their ability to enhance well-to-reservoir …

Intelligent wells (I-wells) provide layer-by-layer production and injection control. This flow
control flexibility relies on the real-time operation of multiple, downhole interval control …

There has been a tendency in oil and gas industry towards the adoption of multilateral wells
(MLWs) with completions that incorporate multiple types of flow control devices (FCDs). In …

Some fields in the Brazilian pre-salt feature light oil and high gas/CO 2 content, which is a
bottleneck to oil production due to gas processing restrictions in the facilities. To deal with …

The popularity of intelligent wells (I-wells), which provide layer-by-layer monitoring and
control capability of production and injection, is growing. However, the number of available …

Waterflooding is the main technic to recover hydrocarbons in reservoirs. For a given set of
wells (injectors and producers), the choice of injection/production parameters such as …

The closed-loop optimization paradigm of an oil field can increase oil recovery and reduce
water production, maximizing economic gains. One way to improve the management of a …

Short-term optimization of an oil field has been used to increase economic value of oil
recovery as compared to reactive control (shutting the well when water cut limit is reached …

The wells equipped with flow control devices across their completion intervals have become
a proven field development option for geologically complex and/or viscous oil reservoirs …
