Session 1: Fundamentals of Flow Control and Intelligent Completions

10 Sep 2025
Corcovado 3/4/5

Chairs: Suresh Jacob, Aramco; Edgar Romero, ExxonMobil

This session will provide attendees with a review of the fundamental concepts behind passive and active flow control techniques, examining how these technologies optimize well production, manage reservoir pressure, and enhance recovery efficiency. The discussion will highlight the key differences between Inflow Control Devices (ICDs), which passively balance flow, Interval Control Valves (ICVs), which enable dynamic and real-time control of wellbore fluids, and Autonomous Inflow Control Devices (AICDs), which perform real-time dynamic control autonomously downhole. Through technology description and case studies this session will equip participants of all levels of experience with the basic knowledge of downhole flow control to identify differences between various flow control systems, selection criteria for each of these systems and an overview of the technologies to get the most out of this Integrated Intelligent Well Completion Workshop.
