Abstract:A system has been developed and tested that reduces the production from zones producing high water cut in open hole screen completions. By use of flotation balls with neutral density in formation water, the system automatically reduces a nozzle area on each joint with increasing water cut. The oil selective inflow control system (OS) is used to reduce flow from zones that significantly contribute to the water cut in a well.
A reservoir simulation tool has been configured to incorporate the OS… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
