Engineered Reliability for Intelligent Well Systems

摘要

A new total-concept approach to achieving reliability forrnintelligent completion systems has produced successfulrninstallations in the BP Wytch Farm field and in the NorskrnHydro Troll and Oseberg fields. Intelligent monitoring andrninflow-control systems optimize field production and ultimaternrecovery. Total reliability is critical to realizing these benefits.rnReliability in all aspects of the completion, from equipmentrndesign to installation, is built into the engineering process.rnReliability modeling and lifetime forecasts are based onrnsystem architecture; survival analysis is based on track recordsrnand accelerated testing of components. Modeling and forecastsrnare refined throughout the project to guide and acceleraterndesign and development.
