About

Nowadays, the economic scenario poses new challenges for cost reduction, safety improvements, and production optimization, especially in deepwater projects and in the context of energy transition. Well design needs to achieve a higher level of operational efficiency and safety by reducing complexity, increasing flexibility, and improving availability.

In Brazilian Pre-Salt projects, Intelligent Well Completions (IWC) have been used since the early conceptual phases to properly manage reservoirs and production, aiming to exploit the full potential of these thick reservoirs. Currently, Pre-Salt fields already have over 200 IWC systems, making it one of the areas with the most intensive use of IWC systems in deepwater. Well designs and intelligent well technologies, including electric systems, are now a reality. However, are we fully utilizing the potential of this technology?

WHY ATTEND

This workshop provides a unique opportunity to review the use of IWC in Pre-Salt fields, as well as in other parts of the world, sharing knowledge, experiences, and challenges from across the globe. Subsea and topside integration will also be discussed, along with strategies for transitioning from Direct Hydraulic IWC to Electric IWC. The interaction with experienced and recognized professionals, companies, and institutions worldwide offers participants a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge, discuss the future of this technology, and establish networking connections.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Completion, subsea, reservoir and production engineers as well as other professionals involved in research, development, installation and use of Intelligent Well Completion Systems.
