This study modeled inflow control devices in Gulf of Suez horizontal wells to mitigate water invasion, finding that ICDs and AICVs significantly improved oil production and delayed water breakthrough compared to open-hole wells.

This paper studied modeling of a water-invaded horizontal well in the Gulf of Suez, using inflow control devices (ICDs and autonomous ICVs/“AICV”) to mitigate water coning effects and delay water breakthrough. The authors built and compared reservoir models for a heterogeneous setting, considering multiple device assumptions/cases and benchmarking predicted production against actual data from a long-producing water-infringed horizontal well. They reported that wells completed with ICD and AICV showed significantly higher oil production performance versus the actual open-hole perforated well, with ICD performing somewhat better than autonomous ICV, and that inflow control delayed water production longer. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

The Gulf of Suez contains a lot of fields most of these fields suffering from water invasion. 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.
