SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Production and injection in long horizontal wells pose many challenges to operating companies right from drilling, production optimization, flow assurance to reservoir management. Horizontal wells are subject to ineffective well clean up, non-uniform stimulation and difficulties in managing sand production problems. Water injectors suffer from inability to achieve uniform distribution of water into all zones due to heterogeneity and unintentional thermal fracturing. In heterogeneous and fractured reservoirs that do not have any flow controller in place will undergo excessive flooding in high permeability zones while the lower permeability zones will receive little or no fluid. In order to negate some of the adverse reservoir properties and to control the flow profile of injection and production fluids, down hole flow control devices are of great advantage which regulate the flow in a way that gives a uniform flow, improved reservoir sweep, improved productivity from the tail section of the well and reduced water or gas cut.
