Inflow control devices (ICDs) paired with oil-swellable packers often perform water control during well completions in unconsolidated reservoirs, but ICD-packer systems offer effective zonal isolation ...
Heavy oil (API gravity =22°) is dominated by high viscosity, asphaltene content, and temperature-sensitive rheology. These properties drive pressure losses, sand mobilization risk, emulsion formation, ...
Reservoir management is the integrated subsurface planning and control activity that maximizes hydrocarbon recovery and value per barrel by orchestrating surveillance, modeling, injection/production ...
