Downhole Water Loop (Dwl) Well Completion For Water Coning Control --- Theoretical Analysis, Lu Jin Jan 2009

Downhole Water Loop (Dwl) Well Completion For Water Coning Control --- Theoretical Analysis, Lu Jin

LSU Master's Theses

The Thesis is an analytical and numerical analysis of a new method for completing and producing oil wells affected by water coning. The method enables producing oil with no or minimal water cut while keeping the water subsurface with downhole water loop (DWL) installation. Typically, a DWL well is triple-completed in the oil and water zones with the three completions separated by parkers. The top completion produces oil to the surface while the middle and bottom completions drain from and inject into the bottom water zone, respectively. Segregated-inflow operation of DWL well requires keeping the production and drainage-injection rates below …
