- W1993986508 abstract "Abstract Inflow control devices (ICD) have been successfully deployed in Saudi Arabia, in both clastic and carbonate reservoirs, with the objective of creating uniform flow profiles across horizontal wells, delaying early water breakthrough, and preventing water coning and/or gas cusping. The ultimate objective is to increase the oil recovery. ICDs have been deployed in horizontal wells drilled behind the flood front, in a large carbonate reservoir, in Saudi Arabia. Due to the remaining thin oil column behind the flood front, and their close proximity to injection wells, vertical producers in these areas of the field, normally, produce with high water cut, and consequently die. A campaign was initiated to sidetrack some of these wells and re-complete them horizontally at the top of the reservoir to recover the remaining oil at the top. The reservoir geology is characterized with fractures, which increases the chance for early water breakthrough, since horizontal wells are likely to encounter fractures. With the utilization of external casing packers (ECP) and ICDs, it has been possible, in most cases, to successfully limit the effect of these loss circulation zones/fractures and enhances well performance. This paper will review some of these wells and will demonstrate the impact and value added resulting from introducing these technologies. Introduction Inflow control devices (ICD) along with External Casing Packers (ECP) completions have been successfully deployed in Saudi Arabia in both clastic and carbonate reservoirs. The main objective is to distribute the flow uniformly across horizontal sections, control water production and prolong well life. ICDs and ECPs have been deployed in horizontal wells located behind the flood front, in a large carbonate reservoir, in Saudi Arabia. This reservoir has been under peripheral water injection for many years. Due to the remaining thin oil column behind the flood front, and their close proximity to injection wells, vertical producers in these areas of the field, normally, produce with high water cut, and consequently die. In addition, producing these wells at high water cut levels would be costly and undesirable. Moreover, high volume withdrawals from the first row producers would dissipate the pressure energy close to the flanks of the reservoir with minimal impact on oil recovery 4. Consequently, the middle of the field, the main producing area, will not receive sufficient pressure support." @default.
