Not all the wells available out there are inmediate candidate for an Intelligent Well. There are some analysis and processes to go before a well is determined to be an Intelligent Well.

Some of the factors that we should at least start addressing are:


  • How good is the hydraulic isolation between zones
  • What are we looking to optimize in the reservoir
  • What recovery factor are we looking for
  • How strategic is this well or wells - in the production or injection grid
  • What is the importance of the well and the field potential
  • What is the additional profitability to obtain
  • What reduction in costs is going to represent
  • How much are we needing of Reservoir Management
  • What degree of automation and remote control we need
  • What is the additional benefit of having individual zone control
  • What are the risks of running an intelligent completion
  • Is it a fit for a production optimization model
  • Can we obtain the same results with a conventional completion
  • What is the geologic characterization of the zones. How good is the hydraulic isolation between zones.[1]
