SMART WELL ARCHITECTURE:<\/strong> The total cost of the intelligent completion system is generally higher than the cost of conventional systems, even the application of the key technologies requires a considerable initial investment; however, it is recoverable in the medium term due to the significant increase in oil recovery (greater than 85% over the initial production base).<\/p>\n To download the article, click here.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_blank” el_class=”image-to-hide” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none” column_link=”https:\/\/innovamas.nakasawaresources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/INN15-Tec_Comp_Pozoz_EN.pdf”][nectar_btn size=”medium” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” el_class=”button_video” button_id=”button_video” text=”Download ENG” url=”https:\/\/innovamas.nakasawaresources.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/INN15-Tec_Comp_Pozoz_EN.pdf”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”image-to-hide_1″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” el_class=”hidden-video” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_raw_html][\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is important to note that heavy oil-producing sand\u2019s lithology and grain size are not entirely continuous along its length, as i.

\nThe system is mainly composed of two parts: surface and downhole equipment, including the Data Acquisition System (DAS) and Distributed Temperature System (DTS and Intelligent Panel View), which must be integrated by a data information transmission sub-system and a surfacedownhole data analysis sub-system. The system must be able to generate predictive trend curves and propose optimization alternatives in real time, which can be executed by the Central Control System (Artificial Intelligence), or derived for subsequent approval by the Reservoir Engineering and Well Production Team. Smart completions can be effective in layered reservoirs as they are most efficient when the shale zones are continuous and the seal is impermeable. On the other hand, these systems are suitable for some wells that traverse safely sealed layers and to control pressure drop or water production in reservoirs with high contrasts of pressure, permeability and water cut. The application of intelligent systems in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) through Thermal Processes is very useful, because it allows measuring the effectiveness of the project\u00a0 in terms of steam injection pressure, temperature, volume of fluid injected, and therefore the impact on the productivity and recovery factor.<\/p>\n
