Open Forum: Beyond the Hype: Designing More Efficient Wells Productivity With Flow Control — Implementation, Cost vs. Benefit

Friday, 20 February
Salon A
Panel

With higher implementation of Inflow Control Devices (ICDs) and additional complexity introduced in the completion, the interaction of the formation/sandface with screen become critical aspect for most modern well designs. The nature of flow control device which works based on introducing a choke to restrict the flow of unwanted fluid, increases the risk of plugging. Therefore, this forum seeks to discuss workflows for performance evaluation and optimization of ICDs in an effort to maximize their benefits. The Panel of experts with an interactive audience will explore the advantages and disadvantages of different evaluation criteria.
