Intelligent-Completion Technology in a Triple-Zone Commingled Producer

Many oil fields contain stacked reservoirs, each requiring multiple individual wells for proper and timely depletion. By commingling multiple reservoirs in a single well, the total number of wells required for field development can be reduced, resulting in significant cost savings over conventional development especially in offshore areas. Use of intelligent-completion technology can properly manage the recovery of reserves from each individual zone in a commingled completion.
