Case History: A Decade of Experience Using Intelligent Completions for Production Optimization and Water Shut-Off in Multilateral Wells in the World's Largest Oilfield
Abstract:Following the success of the first installed intelligent completion system in Saudi Arabia in 2004, over 260 Intelligent Completion systems have been installed in a majority of Maximum Reservoir Contact (MRC) Multilateral (ML) wells. These intelligent completion systems have been successfully installed in openhole, expandable liners, expandable sand screen, Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) wells and also integrated with Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP). This technology has led enhanced oil recovery while reducing… Show more
