COURSE WRAP UP AND REVIEW

Intelligent Completions Training Course

The objective of this training course is to provide an understanding of intelligent completions and specifically: –

  • The value proposition for ICs
  • The purpose of Intelligent Completions (ICs)
  • The advantages and limitations of ICs
  • Basic screening questions and defining completion requirements
  • A history and case studies showing typical applications of intelligent completions
  • Reservoir Monitoring Technologies (electrical and fiber optic) and their applications
  • What are Inflow Control Valves (ICVs) and Inflow Control Devices (ICDs), a comparison of technologies and their difference and applications
  • New technologies – integrated Intelligent Completion Systems
  • The ‘digital oil field’. Intelligent wells in hydrocarbon recovery optimization and the integrated production management system

This interactive training course is intended for engineers, supervisors and technical staff involved in completion design, installation and operation who already have an understanding of well construction methods and completion design but would benefit from the understanding of processes, hardware and methodologies which make up Intelligent Completions/Smart Wells for application within an integrated production management system.
