A SmartWell® completion optimizes production by collecting, transmitting and analyzing completion, production and reservoir data; allowing remote selective zonal control; and ultimately maximizing reservoir efficiency by:
Increasing production. Commingling of production from different reservoir zones increases and accelerates production and shortens field life.
Increasing ultimate recovery. Selective zonal control enables effective management of water injection, gas and water breakthrough and individual zone productivity.
Reducing capital expenditure. The ability to produce from multiple reservoirs through a single wellbore reduces the number of wells required for field development, thereby lowering drilling and completion costs. Size and complexity of surface handling facilities are reduced by managing water through remote zonal control.
Reducing operating expenditure. Remote configuration of wells optimizes production without costly well intervention. In addition, commingling of production from different reservoir zones shortens field life, thereby reducing operating expenditures.
