Inflow control technology is used to manacle the unfavorable effects of water coning that delay water breakthrough. It balances the inflow between well bore and completion by adding more pressure drop between the reservoir and the well bore. This paper describes the first models of using inflow control devices in Gulf of Suez wells and such technique in Egypt and also compare this modeling of prediction data with the actual data for horizontal well already completed and produced from long time suffered from water infringement. The analysis was done for heterogeneity reservoir with different models using ICD and AICV that assumed three different cases and compared to actual open hole well. The results showed that the well completed with ICD and AICV significantly higher oil production performance, meanwhile ICD is somewhat getting better than autonomous ICV. Inflow control device technique would be able to delay water production for long time than the actual perforated open hole well.
