Abstract

Horizontal wells are an important technology to increase the production by expanding the reservoir drainage area to improving the economic efficiency of oilfield development. However, there are some urgent problems in developing bottom water reservoirs in horizontal wells, the most prominent one is bottom water breakthrough. C-AICD absorbs the advantages of ICD (Inflow Control Device) and AICD (Automatic Inflow Control Device). In the early stage of production, it mainly reflects the characteristics of ICD, which can balance the production profile along the horizontal production section and slow down the bottom water breakthrough. In the middle and late stage of production, it reflects the characteristics of AICD, which can slow down the bottom water breakthrough. However, there is still a lack of practical and effective theory to describe the principle of C-AICD water control completion device. In this paper, a C-AICD water control completion production prediction model for horizontal wells in bottom water reservoirs is proposed, and the applicability of C-AICD water control completion device is carried out for the five influencing factors of crude oil viscosity, formation permeability, permeability grading, production allocation, and horizontal well length. The results show that the lower the crude oil viscosity and the shorter the horizontal well length, the lower the water content, and the formation permeability, permeability grading and production allocation have limited influence on the water content.
