Abstract This paper provides the learnings from a successful application of a smart completion in a complex heterogeneous carbonate reservoir. It details the study, planning, coordination, and implementation process of two pilot wells by a multidisciplinary team, and pilot production performance results, illustrating the success. First, to select an optimum completion design for the field, multi-segment well option and local grid refinement option were applied to the reservoir simulation model including calibration of faults/fractures. Second, based on the modified model, sensitivity analysis was conducted; 1) by selecting different types of completion including Open-hole, blank pipes (BP), compartmentalized slotted liners (SL), inflow control device (ICD) and hydraulic flow control valve (FCV); 2) by optimizing the number of compartments (packer and blank pipe placements for all cases), and ICD / FCV numbers and nozzle sizes. Using the data from the modeled cases, economic analysis was conducted, which indicated that the ICD in conjunction with sliding sleeves (SSD) was the best option. Two candidate wells were selected to cover the variation of reservoir characteristics: one well representing the heterogeneous part of the reservoir with high-density of faults, fractures and kurst, and another one representing the relatively homogenous part of the reservoir suffering from heel to toe effect. A multidisciplinary implementation team was set up to align all stakeholders on subsurface requirements, following up the completion design, coordinating material procurement and logistics for mobilizations, daily drilling operations follow-up, real-time logging data interpretations and completion design adjustment. Evaluation of the two pilots’ results based on predefined KPIs during the study, exceeded overall expectations.

Abstract The development of carbonate reservoirs of a giant field, Offshore Abu Dhabi, requires long horizontal wells to maximize productivity, but at the risk of unwanted gas and water channeling through its inherent heterogeneities. Conformance can be enhanced with dedicated segmented completions (blank sections, Inflow Control Device, Autonomous Inflow Control Device, etc.) or selective acid stimulation (diverter, Limited Entry Liner), which are increasingly implemented to extend well life, and eventually well value. If these technologies have matured, success depends heavily on the quality of the formation knowledge prior to completion. As of today, conventional logs provide the basic ground, but they lack dynamic information, whereas production logging results are obtained too late, when the well is already completed. Initially introduced for the optimization of unconventional well completions (see Jacques et al, URTEC 2019), the Well Testing Logging (WTLog) offers the advantage to record a log of mobility, at the end of drilling the openhole, enabling a favorable timing to influence adapted completion and stimulation design. Contrasted viscosity brines are sequentially circulated through the drill pipes at a constant rate and back-produced from the casing at constant pressure. The fluids interface travels in the drain from the TD to the casing shoe, and the measurement of the differential formation seepage is interpreted into an injectivity profile. Combined with rate fall-off phase analysis, permeability and skin logs are derived. Lasting a few hours and realized with conventional rig equipment (such as cement pumps, coriolis flowmeters, Managed Pressure Drilling system), it is a nonintrusive, safe, and ultimately low-cost operation. Forward, it can replace costly logging, when aimed at characterizing heterogeneities. Within a year, the two first WTLog pilots of the Middle East were successfully designed and carried out. They targeted two appraisal wells in distinct undeveloped reservoirs (Cretaceous and Upper Jurassic formations) which benefited from rich acquisition programs (Image log, Production log) to benchmark and qualify this technology. After an explanation of the technology principles, this paper describes the design, operations, and results of these pilots. It then focuses on the petrophysical consolidation of the matrix/fracture characterization. It concludes by sharing the learnings and offers insight to what extent it is a promising technology to be applied in Middle East carbonate reservoir developments.
