Sub-Surface Automated Smart Wellbore
FY 2018-19 · 2018-07-15
Summary
In this project, an autonomous mechatronic valve system for use in oil and gas wellbores will be developed. The proposed technology includes an interventionless valve system and a reservoir optimization system with sophisticated Artificial Intelligence algorithms. The wellbore is partitioned into stages, with each stage including a valve and sensors to monitor properties of the formation. Sensor measurements are collected at a central decision-making unit, and the optimization system analyzes the collected information to make sophisticated decisions, using AI to operate the mechatronic valves, and thereby optimize hydrocarbon production. Reservoir modelling will be also conducted to understand the effect of the optimization and improvement.

Description (French)
Dans ce projet, un système de soupape mécatronique autonome destiné aux puits de pétrole et de gaz sera développé. La technologie proposée comprend un système de soupapes sans intervention et un système d'optimisation de réservoir avec des algorithmes d'intelligence artificielle sophistiqués. Le puits de forage est divisé en étapes, chaque étape comprenant une soupape et des capteurs pour surveiller les propriétés de la formation. Les mesures de capteurs sont collectées dans une unité de prise de décision centrale et le système d'optimisation analyse les informations collectées pour prendre des décisions sophistiquées, en utilisant l'intelligence artificielle pour faire fonctionner les soupapes mécatroniques et optimiser ainsi la production d'hydrocarbures. La modélisation des réservoirs sera également menée pour comprendre les effets de l’optimisation et de l’amélioration.
