Sub-Surface Automated Smart Wellbore-Phase2

FY 2019-20 · 2019-07-15

Summary
This project is the continuation of Sub-Surface automated smart wellbore NCS initially started with IRAP. The project is the Phase 2 portion of the same project, in which we will develop an autonomous mechatronic valve system for use in oil and gas wellbores. The proposed technology includes an interventionless valve system and a reservoir optimization system with sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. The wellbore is partitioned into stages, with each stage including an actuator and sensors to monitor properties of the formation or to communicate with and to surface.

Description (French)
Ce projet est la continuation du forage de puits intelligent automatisé « Sub-Surface » de NCS, qui a débuté initialement avec le PARI. Il s'agit de la phase 2 du même projet, au cours de laquelle nous développerons un système de vannes mécatroniques autonomes pour l'utilisation dans les puits de forage de pétrole et de gaz. La technologie proposée comprend un système de vannes sans intervention et un système d'optimisation de réservoir avec des algorithmes sophistiqués d'intelligence artificielle (IA). Le puits de forage est divisé en étapes, chaque étape comprenant un actionneur et des capteurs pour surveiller les propriétés de la formation ou pour communiquer avec la surface.
