AbstractA new cost effective life-cycle profile control completion system has been developed to solve major problems associated with surveillance and interventions in horizontal and TAML level 2 multilateral wells completed with ESP. each other and can be selectively produced, shut-off or stimulated. The need for CT interventions for production logging and water shut-offs is removed. The water shut-off process offered by this technology is reversible.

“…The benefits of drilling MRC (maximum reservoir contact) wells in the Shyabah and other fields in Saudi Arabia and installing smart completions (flow control system) have been well documented previously [1][2][3][4] . To address the issue of converting existing 1-km horizontal well to MRC well with flow control option, a possible solution is to utilize 5-1/2" open hole cemented expandable liner that is designed to provide a conduit for possible smart completion and to expand whole liner from open hole to inside the 7" casing overlap for pressure seal with sufficient ID after expansion.…”

fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractA well in the Shaybah Field was recently worked over by converting the existing 1-km horizontal section to MRC (maximum reservoir contact) well with a total reservoir contact of 18,443 ft. The objectives of the workover program were to improve well productivity by maximizing the reservoir contact as well as to install solid expandable liner as a conduit for downhole flow control system in the future.The original horizontal section was first extended by 6,462 ft, before running expandable liner. Installing a 1,008 ft 5-1/2" expandable liner in near horizontal section encountered considerable difficulties in this well, first with liner stuck, then experiencing stuck expansion cone during the final stage of liner expansion. After these problems were finally overcome, top of expanded liner was successfully pressure tested. Two laterals were sidetracked successfully out of the expandable liner (Lateral -1 = 4,615 ft and Lateral -2 = 7,366 ft) to access additional flow contribution from the reservoir. This paper describes the experiences and lessons learned from hole preparation, running and expanding expandable liner, window exits of expandable liner, and subsequently drilling two 5-1/2" laterals.
