Surface infrastructure, such as water injection facilities, is expensive and takes up valuable space. In some cases, the cost of these facilities is prohibitive, and development is not pursued.
SmartWell® Solution
Using “Dumpflood,” an advanced SmartWell® concept, a completion can be designed to allow the operator to create the effect of water injection or gas lift downhole.
With integral real-time sensing and the ability to choke the flow using ICVs, dumpflooding is a highly flexible and cost- effective option.
