SMART COMPLETION MAXIMUM RESERVOIR CONTACT (MRC) WELL OPTIMIZATION MODEL

摘要

Systems and methods include a method for optimizing maximum reservoir contact wells. For each lateral of a multi-lateral well and using input data for the lateral, a lateral flowrate is determined for each opening position for different combinations of internal control valve (ICV) sizes and target flowing bottomhole pressures. Using a numerical model, an estimated total flowrate is determined for each lateral based on the lateral's flowrate. Options are provided for presentation to a user in a user interface for changing ICV settings of the multi-lateral well. Each option includes a predicted added value to production of the multi-lateral well. The predicted added value includes one or more of an individual lateral production contribution, an enhanced sweep efficiency for one or more laterals, or a water rate reduction. A selection by the user of an option is received. The option is implemented during production of the multi-lateral well.
