Well Completion & Intelligent

Completion
There Are Three Basic Types of Completion
1. Open Hole Completion
2. Uncemented Liner or Slotted Liner Completion
3. Perforated or Cased & Cemented Completion

Components of a Simple Completion

Xmas Tree
Tubing Hanger/Hanger Spool
Production Casing
Production Tubing
Downhole Safety Valve
Packer
Tail Pipe

Intelligent Completions:

During the 1980s, many operators installed pressure and temperature


measuring instruments downhole to gather real-time production data.

This data provided valuable information concerning how to produce target zones
more efficiently.

More recently, the industry has favored installations that have remotely
operated controls placed in the completion.

Sensor requirements have now extended beyond just pressure and temperature
to include flow rates, fluid density, fluid viscosity, fluid composition, reservoir
characteristics, etc.
A well that has a system of downhole sensors and controls, whichincludes a
surface system to collect and transmit production data to a remote facility for
analysis, has been dubbed a smartwell.
The absence of downhole monitoring devices in traditional dumb
ironcompletions which make up the vast majority of completions, results in
limited reservoir data.
Intelligent Completion: Basic Equipments

Downhole Sensors -To measure the desire parameters in the well


Controls -To reconfigure the downhole tools
Telemetry -To convey data to and from the surface
Surface Sub System -This includes a data collection terminal, software to
analyze the data and make decisions base on output, and some means of
transmitting this data to a remote facility.
