MultiNode All-Electric Intelligent Well System Combat water and gas breakthrough to improve ultimate recovery

Solutions can be costly and complexPassive 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.

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.

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:nn Balances production along the lateral, controlling water or

gas breakthrough and increasing ultimate oil recoverynn Enables real-time remote monitoring and control for

proactive production optimizationnn Helps you adjust to changing wellbore conditions by choking

or closing high-water- and high-gas-producing zonesnn Lowers costs and increases reach and reliability by

controlling multiple zones with a single electric line

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.
