Most of the current research and commercial reservoir simulators lack the capability to handle complex completion details like perforation tunnels in a simulation study. In most common applications, the simplified handling of completion complexity in reservoir simulations is not expected to introduce significant error in simulation results. However, it has been found that under certain circumstances, especially in high rate wells that have become more and more common in deepwater oil and profilic gas development, exclusion of the complex completion details in a reservoir simulation model would lead to nontrivial errors. New equations have been proposed to assess the needs to incorporate completion details in a reservoir simulation study based on the understanding of the fluid flow in a formation, the fluid flow along a wellbore and the fluid flow through perforation tunnels if exist. A series of sensitivity studies with different completion options under different flow and reservoir environments has been conducted to provide some guidance to improve well performance prediction through reservoir simulation. Impacts of key parameters like perforation density, perforation diameter, perforation length, wellbore length, borehole diameter, well completion configuration, well placement, reservoir permeability, reservoir heterogeneity, pressure drawdown, etc, have also been investigated.

Abstract The drilling and completion of multilateral wells continues to expand and advance within the oil industry after three decades of accelerating adoption. The performance of these wells can be increased when integrated with advanced well completion techniques. The addition of intelligent completions (IC) and inflow control devices (ICD/AICD) enhances well performance and improves field recovery. This paper discusses a reservoir simulation case study that evaluates the productive impact these technologies provide when combined with multilateral technology (MLT), and the mechanism by which they achieve it. A reservoir model is devised and simulates under dynamic reservoir conditions the field production of dual lateral and single bore horizontal wells. The simulation is conducted for three separate scenarios where AICD and IC are incrementally implemented. The results are compared across the scenarios and their value quantified. The mechanisms by which estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) is increased will be discussed, including the increase of reservoir contact, drawdown distribution optimization, and the control and delay of water production. The study will provide an overview on the theory behind the technologies. It will also review the workflow used to conduct the study, utilizing a combination of steady state nodal analysis software and dynamic reservoir simulation software. Additional information about the reservoir model, initial and boundary conditions are detailed, to provide insight into reservoir simulation methodology.
