Advanced wells play a crucial role in maximizing the efficiency of oil production. To achieve
a successful design for advanced wells, several parameters must be considered and …

Controlling reservoir fluid flow is important for maximizing petroleum production through
wellbores. A major challenge that reduces the production of oil is early breakthrough of …

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 …

Designing a well completion for multilateral wells with multiple types of flow control devices
(FCDs) can be a challenging optimization task due to a large number of correlated 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 …

The existing research on the multiple fluid control valves to control the balanced exploitation
of natural gas in horizontal wells lacks theoretical model support. On this basis, this paper …

Water-control for horizontal wells is a worldwide problem, while it is even harder for
limestone reservoir because of the developed fractures and caves. The formation water can …

Intelligent (aka smart or 'flow control completion') well (i-well) technology is being
successfully used in thousands of wells worldwide. Dozens of companies are involved in …

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 …

Wells with long production/injection intervals (eg horizontal or multi-lateral wells) can be
equipped with flow control completion (FCC), which allows zonal control of in/out-flow and is …
