The case study shows the impact of the Autonomous Inflow Control Valve (AICV®) in a field traditionally plagued by high water cut and early water breakthrough. These watered wells comprise 40% of inactive strings creating significant challenges of preserving cost-effective oil production due to increased water-related complications.

The case study shows the impact of AICV® in a field traditionally developed with barefoot wells, plagued by high water cut and early water breakthrough affecting 40% of inactive strings.

An operator in South America started the development of a remote green oilfield in 2018 with horizontal wells. Due to the presence of a strong water drive mechanism, the initial well reached unacceptable water production levels, negatively impacting oil production and CO2 footprint; driving the operator to evaluate and install advanced completion technologies to control water production and improve reservoir drainage.

CCO, Brent Brough stated: “We are proud and excited to have supported Agoco with this first AICV® well in Libya. A big thanks to the team at Agoco, our Libyan partners SmartCompletions and our InflowControl team to help increase net-oil production and reduce the unwanted water”.
