TAQA, a global firm with offices in Dharan, Saudi Arabia, and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, provides industry-leading well solutions for the energy sector. With the launch of its next-generation inflow control system, operators can maximise reservoir performance while managing fluid production in a sustainable manner.
By controlling the flow of the undesirable fluid (gas and water), the M4 Inflow Control System prevents any binary (open/close) effects that could cause instability or, worse, halt production. In addition to improving gas production management and managing water in ultra-light and light applications, the M4 Inflow Management System offers stability and adaptability in a variety of reservoir situations.
Ultra-light, light, medium, and heavy oils can all be used with the M4 Inflow Control System technology because it has a sophisticated pilot control system that is extremely sensitive to density. Additionally, it incorporates sophisticated multi-phase control, which enables the gadget to function regardless of the wellbore’s orientation.
Dr. Mojtaba Moradi, subsurface engineering manager of TAQA, said, “With the largest portfolio of inflow control systems and more than 20 years of inflow control device expertise, the M4 Inflow Control System represents the pinnacle of our innovation so far. This new generation offers water control by gradually reducing inflow as water production increases, avoiding premature well shut-in.”
“Its main benefit is precision control based on reservoir production. The device allows operators to maximise output without risking shutting wells in, so they can manage production continuously and efficiently, which translates into obvious financial benefits.”
Additionally, TAQA provides a “plug and play” integration with its entire line of inflow systems, which are designed to maximise performance in all kinds of wells and reservoirs. For ease of installation and to provide flexibility and adaptability even at the rig site, additional operational features like last-minute capacity modification and the ability to circulate to the bottom have also been incorporated into the design.
Through meticulous force field research and single- and multi-phase flow testing, the device is intended to have an open operating point for oil and a substantially choked operating point for water. In order to thoroughly assess and model the flow behaviour under different regimes, water, oil, and gas combinations have been studied in a cutting-edge multi-phase loop.
The system has so far shown outstanding performance with oil viscosities as low as 0.5 cP tested in conjunction with water to define the operating and control points at different water cuts; however, it is not restricted to any particular oil viscosity.
Additionally, a comprehensive certification matrix for cycle, erosion, and debris testing has been finished.In many applications, existing solutions are less effective in controlling water when oil viscosities are less than 1 cP. The potential for turning into a “binary” open-close system and prematurely shutting off zones is still another disadvantage.
Both of the aforementioned phenomena are addressed by this new gadget. From November 4–7, 2024, ADIPEC will feature the M4 Inflow Control System, and TAQA will be present at Stand 6232.
