This session will provide attendees with a review of the fundamental concepts behind passive and active flow control techniques, examining how these technologies optimize well production, manage reservoir pressure, and enhance recovery efficiency. The discussion will highlight the key differences between Inflow Control Devices (ICDs), which passively balance flow, Interval Control Valves (ICVs), which enable dynamic and real-time control of wellbore fluids, and Autonomous Inflow Control Devices (AICDs), which perform real-time dynamic control autonomously downhole. Through technology description and case studies this session will equip participants of all levels of experience with the basic knowledge of downhole flow control to identify differences between various flow control systems, selection criteria for each of these systems and an overview of the technologies to get the most out of this Integrated Intelligent Well Completion Workshop.

This session aims to discuss the best approaches in quantifying the economic value of Interval Control Valves (ICVs) installation in offshore development projects. In this context, it is necessary to define how to represent the performance of valves in the reservoir numerical simulation models. The potential for failures, denoted by the probabilistic reliability of the valves, may be estimated through historical data, and must be included in the workflow of modeling, if the target is reliable economic estimation. Also, the quantification of the gains obtained from the ICV operation can provide the necessary support to facilitate the decision making for the acquisition and valves installation, for the improvement of installation routines, and for the efforts to increase reliability.

IWCs have been used since the late 1990's. Given the extensive variety of applications what are the experiences good and bad from the past that can inform the future? What are the leading and lagging key performance indicators from OEM’s and Service Provider’s perspective that aid front end engineering design?
Reliability starts with design against well defined requirements. Like many completion technologies, IWCs have seen a proliferation in qualification standards with the aim to imitate and derisk their adoption in the field. Several attempts have been made to "standardise" the standards with AWES spurning the API's 19ICV and 19E. Have these efforts changed the perception and experiences of IWC reliability, and what can we learn from the various bespoke qualification requirements to lower some of the barriers of entry whilst improving adoption. How are real world scenarios converged to the qualification requirements that are focused on design reliability?
Digital connectivity has promised much in simplification and visibility of the subsurface, but can we or have we captured its benefits in assuring reliability in the real world to bring confidence in utilization? Data residency, access, security and the role of OEMs beg the question are we missing out on taking this next step in reliability. What are the experiences in health monitoring, root cause analyses, remedial action and prognostics that might effect this?
Advancement in hybrid electronics to convert hydraulic actuators into electro-hydraulic or electro-mechanical systems have simplified IWC deployment, provided more flexibility, and expand the health data flow by an order of magnitude. What are the current experiences and thoughts towards the future in using this new level of data in assuring uptime, reliability and useability within the Production lifecycle?

Technology standardization involves establishing consistent protocols, standards and interfaces across different technologies, platforms, and organizations to promote compatibility, efficiency, and scalability. Standardization is crucial, but it comes with significant challenges, such as diverse stakeholders interest, rapidly evolving technology, global and regional regulations, interoperability across platforms and vendors, intellectual property and patents, security and privacy concerns and cost and complexity of implementation.

With the recent uptick in the development and adoption of electric completion equipment there is a need to better understand the challenges, solutions and track record of electric downhole completion equipment. This may include benefits and challenges (especially for subsea applications), de-risking approaches and methodologies for new technologies as well as field results of this type of equipment.
