dc.description.abstract | During the recent years installation of ICD completions has become more common in new
wells. ICDs have proven to be an operationally simple and reliable completion solution. The
primary benefits of installing ICDs are increased hydrocarbon production, reduced water
production and balanced inflow from the entire reservoir section. Other benefits are a better
cleanup, reduced annular velocity and thereby reduced risk of screen erosion.
This thesis considers the application of ICDs on the Goliat field development. Two oil
producer wells have been selected for detailed studies; KP7 and KP9. A number of
sensitivities have been run for the two wells. Sensitivities on number and size of ICD nozzles,
changes in GOR, WC and pressure depletion, changes in permeability and changes in well
length has been done. Both wells have been studied using NEToolTM software, but only KP7
have been studied using EclipseTM. Several time steps in NEToolTM have been investigated to
achieve the best understanding of the well behaviour.
A recommended completion set up for the two wells have been put forward. In the
recommended completion set up ICDs, open hole packers and blank pipe has been used. For
KP7 the best result proved to be a uniform ICD solution (i.e. same ICD sizing along the well).
In KP9 a tailor made ICD solution gave the best results (i.e. different ICD sizes along the
well). | en_US |
