Gas Cap Expansion Control
Sustaining production in solution-gas-drive reservoir

This example illustrates the value of the Manara production and reservoir management system and WellWatcher Advisor real-time intelligent completion software in sustaining oil production from a solution-gas-drive reservoir. Expansion of the gas cap through high-permeability streaks and fractures was threatening oil production. WellWatcher Advisor software identified gas entry and the relevant zone. The Manara system choked back gas production at the sandface within an hour, extending the economic life of the well and improving recovery potential by up to 30%.
