Combat water and gas breakthrough to improve ultimate recovery

Water and gas breakthrough can dramatically

reduce ultimate recovery

Breakthrough at the heel of a lateral turns

a well into a water or gas producer, leaving
hydrocarbons in the reservoir unrecovered.

Solutions can be costly and complex
Passive inflow control devices (ICDs) can help balance
production along the lateral in horizontal wells. But, over
time, fluid properties and reservoir conditions change, while
a passive ICD completion remains static, rendering a once-
optimized configuration less effective as the well matures.
Passive ICDs also have limited effectiveness after breakthrough
occurs and water cut becomes high in specific intervals along
the wellbore. In the worst scenarios, breakthrough at the
heel of the lateral turns the well into a water or gas producer,
leaving hydrocarbons unrecovered in the reservoir.
Hydraulic intelligent well systems offer adaptable production
control, but they require multiple lines per sleeve, greatly
limiting the number of zones you can control in a single
production string. The cost and complexity of these systems
often make them impractical for managing water and gas
breakthrough in horizontal wells.
Sliding sleeves can be used to combat breakthrough, as well.
However, they require costly intervention to actuate, and their
control is limited because they are either opened or closed,
with no choking capability.

Now you can monitor and adjust production across
zones with an electric, affordable, intelligent system
The MultiNode™ all-electric intelligent well system is a remote-
controlled, electric system that lets you monitor and precisely
control an extended number of production zones—without
intervention—all at a lower cost compared to other solutions.
The MultiNode system:
nnBalances production along the lateral, controlling water or
gas breakthrough and increasing ultimate oil recovery
nnEnables real-time remote monitoring and control for
proactive production optimization
nnHelps you adjust to changing wellbore conditions by choking
or closing high-water- and high-gas-producing zones
nnLowers costs and increases reach and reliability by
controlling multiple zones with a single electric line
Combat water and gas breakthrough.
Enhance ultimate recovery.
Minimize costs.

Balancing production along the lateral helps
control water or gas breakthrough and increase
ultimate recovery.
The MultiNode system consists of electrically actuated active
flow control device (AFCD) downhole valves connected to
a surface control unit (SCU) by a single tubing-encased
conductor (TEC) cable. Multiple AFCD valves can be installed
in cased and openhole wellbores to segment and control
production performance. Each AFCD includes six customizable
choke settings, including open and closed positions, for
controlling flow in each zone. The MultiNode surface unit
provides precision control of downhole AFCD valves. The SCU
features an intuitive interface that allows operators to actuate
the connected AFCD valves in real time with a simple click.
A flexible SCADA interface can be used to remotely monitor
and control the MultiNode system from virtually anywhere.

the MultiNode all-electric intelligent well system can help you
achieve remote, selective flow control in an extended number
of zones without intervention, all at a lower total cost when
compared to other available solutions.
