The main purpose of this paper is to analyze and compare the influence of nozzle size, uneven gravel packing, packer leakage, and dynamic production process on the inflow control effect. First, a new mathematical model of Inflow control devices (ICDs) completed horizontal well is proposed which has two new features. One feature is that the annulus between the sand control screen and the formation is considered. Therefore, the influence of uneven gravel packing can be simulated by adjusting the permeability distribution along the annulus. The other feature is that it accounts for packer leakage by introducing a new parameter named “leakage factor” into the model. Then, the inflow control efficiency is defined and used to quantitatively characterize the inflow control effect, and the influences of nozzle size, uneven gravel packing, packer leakage, and dynamic production process on inflow control efficiency are analyzed. The results show that the nozzle size and packer leakage have the biggest influence on the inflow control efficiency, and the influence of gravel packing is negligible unless the permeability of the packed gravel along the wellbore is extremely heterogeneous.

Screen completion is usually adopted in horizontal wells of heavy oil sandstone reservoir, however, frequent pump inspection even long term shut-off caused by thin sand production of some wells bring serious impact on production. For this reason, the gravel pack completion sand control technology in horizontal well is created on the problem of thin sand prevention and control in horizontal well through study on influence factors and treatment of gravel pack in horizontal well, stimulating test of sand packing process and study on gravel pack string in horizontal well. The technical problem of thin sand prevention and control in horizontal well has been solved with the successful application of the technology in field tests.

Paraphrase Generation is one of the most important and challenging tasks in the field of Natural Language Generation. The paraphrasing techniques help to identify or to extract/generate phrases/sentences conveying the similar meaning. The paraphrasing task can be bifurcated into two sub-tasks namely, Paraphrase Identification (PI) and Paraphrase Generation (PG). Most of the existing proposed state-of-the-art systems have the potential to solve only one problem at a time. This paper proposes a light-weight unified model that can simultaneously classify whether given pair of sentences are paraphrases of each other and the model can also generate multiple paraphrases given an input sentence. Paraphrase Generation module aims to generate fluent and semantically similar paraphrases and the Paraphrase Identification systemaims to classify whether sentences pair are paraphrases of each other or not. The proposed approach uses an amalgamation of data sampling or data variety with a granular fine-tuned Text-To-Text Transfer Transformer (T5) model. This paper proposes a unified approach which aims to solve the problems of Paraphrase Identification and generation by using carefully selected data-points and a fine-tuned T5 model. The highlight of this study is that the same light-weight model trained by keeping the objective of Paraphrase Generation can also be used for solving the Paraphrase Identification task. Hence, the proposed system is light-weight in terms of the model’s size along with the data used to train the model which facilitates the quick learning of the model without having to compromise with the results. The proposed system is then evaluated against the popular evaluation metrics like BLEU (BiLingual Evaluation Understudy):, ROUGE (Recall-Oriented Understudy for Gisting Evaluation), METEOR, WER (Word Error Rate), and GLEU (Google-BLEU) for Paraphrase Generation and classification metrics like accuracy, precision, recall and F1-score for Paraphrase Identification system. The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art results on both the tasks of Paraphrase Identification and paraphrase Generation.

Abstract Objectives/Scope Controlling the excessive water production from the high water cut gravel packing horizontal well is a challenge. The approach which uses regular packers or packers with ICD screens to control the unwanted water does not function well. This is mainly because of the length limitation of packers which will make the axial flow resistance insufficient. Methods, Procedures, Process In this paper, a successful case that unwanted water is shutoff by using continuous pack-off particles with ICD screens (CPI) in the whole horizontal section in an offshore oilfield of Bohai bay is presented. The reservoir of this case is the bottom-water high viscosity reservoir. The process is to run 2 3/8" ICD screen string into the 4" screen string originally in place, then to pump the pack-off particles into the annulus between the two screens, and finally form the 360m tightly compacted continuous pack-off particle ring. Results, Observations, Conclusions The methodology behind the process is that the 2-3/8" ICD screens limit the flow rate into the pipes as well as the continuous pack-off particle ring together with the gravel ring outside the original 4" screens to prevent the water channeling into the oil zone along the horizontal section. This is the first time this process is applied in a high water cut gravel packed horizontal well. After the treatment, the water rate decreased from 6856BPD to 836.6BPD, the oil rate increased from 44BPD to 276.8BPD. In addition, the duration of this performance continued a half year until March 21, 2020. Novel/Additive Information The key of this technology is to control the unwanted water by using the continuous pack-off particles instead of the parkers, which will bring 5 advantages, a) higher efficiency in utilizing the production interval; b) no need to find the water source and then fix it; c) the better ability to limit the axial flow; d) effective to multi-WBT (water break though) points and potential WBT points; e) more flexible for further workover. The technology of this successful water preventing case can be reference to other similar high water cut gravel packed wells. Also, it has been proved that the well completion approach of using CPI can have good water shutoff and oil incremental result. Considering the experiences of historical applications, CPI which features good sand control, water shutoff and anti-clogging is a big progress compared to the current completion technologies.
