Abstract The paper discusses the pilot project in ADNOC Offshore to assess the Autonomous Inflow Control Device (AICD) technology as an effective solution for increasing oil production over the life of the field. High rate of water and gas production in horizontal wells is one of the key problems from the commencement of operation due to the high cost of produced water and gas treatment including several other factors. Early Gas breakthrough in wells can result in shut-in to conserve reservoir energy and to meet the set GOR guidelines. The pilot well was shut-in due to high GOR resulted from the gas breakthrough. A pilot project was implemented to evaluate the ability of autonomous inflow control technology to manage gas break through early in the life of the well spanned across horizontal wellbore. And also to balance the production influx profile across the entire lateral length and to compensate for the permeability variation and therefore the productivity of each zone. Each compartment in the pilot well was equipped with AICD Screens and Swell-able Packers across horizontal open hole wellbore to evaluate oil production and defer gas breakthrough. Some AICDs were equipped with treatment valve for the compartments that needed acid simulation to enhance the effectiveness of the zone. The selection factors for installing number of production valves in the pilot well per each AICD was based on reservoir and field data. Pre-modeling of the horizontal wellbore section with AICD was performed using commercial simulation software (NETool). After the first pilot was completed, a detailed technical analysis was conducted and based on the early production results from the pilot well showed that AICD completions effectively managed gas production by delaying the gas break through and restricting gas inflow from the reservoir with significant GOR reduction ±40% compared to baseline production performance data from the open hole without AICD thus increasing oil production. The pilot well performed positively to the AICD completion allowing to produce healthy oil and meeting the guidelines. The early production results are in line with NETool simulation modelling, thereby increasing assurance in the methods employed in designing the AICD completion for the well and candidate selection. This paper discusses the successful AICD completion installation and production operation in pilot well in ADNOC Offshore to manage GOR and produced the well with healthy oil under the set guidelines. This will enable to re-activate wells shut-in due to GOR constraint to help meeting the sustainable field production target.

AbstractThe problem of extended fusion and identification can be approached from a diachronic perspective. Based on our own research, as well as findings from the fields of social, political, and clinical psychology, we argue that the way contemporary emotional events shape local fusion is similar to the way in which historical experiences shape extended fusion. We propose a reciprocal process in which historical events shape contemporary identities, whereas contemporary identities shape interpretations of past traumas.

Abstract The purpose of human cognition depends on the problem people try to solve. Defining the purpose is difficult, because people seem capable of representing problems in an infinite number of ways. The way in which the function of cognition develops needs to be central to our theories.
