| Sumario: | The issue of high-water cut will have repercussions for every oil operator on the planet. The presence of scales, corrosion, and deterioration, along with the expense of separation, are all exacerbated by an overabundance of water production, driving up the price of lifting fluids. To understand the challenges faced by the many wells there, data from one of the offshore oil fields had to be analyzed. The autonomous inflow control valves (AICVs) method is used for water control in different reservoirs. Swell packers are used in the AICV method to permanently seal off the well. Additionally, the completion strategy for handling the high-water cut has been outlined. It also discusses the availability of many inflow control systems for well completion to stop undesired water production, as well as the efficacy of various water shut-off techniques. The study offers a complete approach for water control in horizontal wells for the future rehabilitation plan of the Offshore Field by analyzing the effectiveness of these technologies via a variety of case studies and literature research. After analyzing the reservoir and fluid properties of the western offshore field, a completion strategy was suggested for the future redevelopment plan. |
