Improving Production and Hydrocarbon Recovery from Viscous Oil Reservoirs in Ecuador While Minimizing the Carbon Intensity of Production Using AICD Technology

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes an integrated workflow used to evaluate the potential improvement in oil production and hydrocarbon recovery with the implementation of AICD completions in these fields, the completion designs and implementation, and post installation well performance. This paper summarizes the technical learnings from this project. In addition, the paper describes the potential reduction in carbon intensity of the produced crude by significant reduction in the energy used to lift, process and dispose of produced water.
