Inflow Control Device

Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) completion was successfully designed and applied in a horizontal well drilled in a deep reservoir in an extra heavy oil field located in South America where the average total depth of the targeted reservoir is around ten thousands feet and the in-situ viscosity is 600 cps while API Gravity is ranged between 8.5–9.5. Due to geological and petro-physical features in this area which turns into permeability variations and thick transition zone across the reservoir, a horizontal well of 2500 feet length was drilled and completed with a standalone screen along with Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) to avoid sand production and delay water production. The initial design for the AICD considered the variation of permeability, rock quality, pressure differential across the horizontal length including the operational factors. Accordingly, multiple scenarios using reservoir simulation built-in model (Petrel-RE) and Netool for ICD selection, design and placement where the geological properties of the model were updated based on the run NMR and Caliper logs while geo-steering the well. Also, a fine grid sector model was generated to assess optimum well completion design. The AICD completion was successfully deployed and resulted in extending the well life by delaying water production and it is expected to get its ultimate benefit whenever starting the implementation of a water flood project near that producer well.

Abstract This Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) field re-development of a giant offshore field in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) requires in most cases extremely long laterals to reach the defined reservoir targets. However, certain areas of the field show permeability and / or pressure variations along the horizontal laterals. This heterogeneity requires an inflow control device (ICD) lower completion liner to deliver the required well performance that will adequately produce and sweep the reservoir. The ICD lower completion along with the extremely long laterals means significant time is spent switching the well from reservoir drilling fluid (RDF) non-aqueous fluid (NAF) to an aqueous completion brine. To reduce the amount of rig time spent on the displacement portion of the completion phase, an innovative technology was developed to enable the ICDs to be run in hole in a closed position and enable circulating through the end of the liner. The technology uses a dissolvable material, which is installed in the ICD to temporarily plug it. The dissolvable material is inert to the RDF NAF while the ICDs are run into hole, and then dissolves in brine after the well is displaced from RDF NAF to completion brine, changing the ICDs from closed to an open position. The ability to circulate through the end of the liner, with the support of the plugged ICDs, when the lower completion is deployed and at total depth (TD), enables switching the well from RDF NAF drilling fluid to an aqueous completion brine without the associated rig time of the original displacement method. The technique eliminates the use of a dedicated inner displacement string and allows for the displacement to be performed with the liner running string, saving 4-5 days per well. An added bonus is that the unique design allowed for this feature to be retrofitted to existing standard ICDs providing improved inventory control. In this paper the authors will demonstrate the technology and system developed to perform this operation, as well as the qualification testing, field installations, and lessons learned that were required to take this solution from concept to successful performance improvement initiative.

Актуальность исследования состоит в том, что решением преждевременного прорыва воды или газа в горизонтальной скважине из-за неоднородности профилей притока вдоль оси горизонтального ствола, является изменение пластового давления на различных участках, а также при разработке контактных месторождений, особенно по мере истощения залежи, могут служить устройства контроля притока флюида. Различают активные Interval Control Valve (ICV) или пассивные Inflow Control Device (ICD) устройства. Устройства ICD способны выровнять приток вдоль горизонтальной скважины за счет создания дополнительного сопротивления потоку жидкости, зависящего от величины притока на данном горизонтальном участке. Недостаток современных ICD в том, что они не имеют возможности регулирования и приведения пассивных устройств в действие после установки в стволе скважины. В связи с тем, что имеются риски связанные с неопределенностью в описании свойств пласта, которые присутствуют на всех стадиях разработки месторождения недостаток ICD оказывается существенным. Системы ICV приводятся в действие дистанционно с поверхности скважины, но не способны определять характер поступающего флюида (нефть, газ, вода) в скважину и принимать решение в автоматическом режиме. Цель: разработка новой конструктивной схемы устройства контроля притоком с возможностью непрерывного мониторинга характера поступающей жидкости, и программного обеспечения для управления клапаном с устья скважины. Объекты: горизонтальная скважина и устройство контроля притоком флюида. Методы: имитационное моделирование Simulink, нейронные сети, матричные методы, методы линеаризации нелинейных уравнений. Результаты. Предложена новая конструктивная схема устройства контроля притока в горизонтальной скважине, позволяющая непрерывно оценивать характер поступающего флюида. Данная конструкция позволяет в автоматическом режиме регулировать положение исполнительного механизма по данным измерительных приборов. Дано математическое описание работы клапана. Разработана модель клапана в среде моделирования Simulink, с использованием матричного подхода и нейронных сетей, для построения качественной зависимости положения клапана от значения создаваемого перепада давления. Приведены результаты работы блока нейронной сети и конечный результат моделирования.
