Abstract:The deployment of sophisticated Autonomous Inflow Control Valves (AICV) to manage reservoir uncertainty and water production in stand-alone completion is becoming increasingly popular, and the range of options available is constantly evolving. To date, much of the extensive testing performed with AICVs has assumed homogenous/dispersed flow (taking no direct account of production phase separation) and has ignored the potential role of varying screen geometries. Under a wide range of downhole conditions, stratif… Show more
