An independent operator offshore California has successfully achieved triple zone intelligent well completions in an extended-reach drilling (ERD) campaign in its Rocky Point field. To date, two workover interventions have been performed in five deployments. The Rocky Point reservoir is a highly fractured carbonate and can rapidly initiate water production. During the production stage it was recognized that two of the wells did not achieve the required zonal isolation evident by increasing water cut. Thus, the operator made the decision to retrieve these completions to conduct liner cement repairs. These triple zone completions are controlled by 3-in. tubing retrievable flow control valves, open/ close and multiple position, that work with dedicated gauges for pressure and temperature monitoring. Each productive zone was isolated by three multiple port retrievable production packers.
