Popis: As fields mature, the drilling and completion design and execution for infill development becomes challenging. In a deepwater environment, one of the strategies to address this challenge is to optimize subsea facilities by targeting several reservoir packages in a single wellbore. However, this technique comes with technical challenges because penetrating different zones requires active reservoir management, an allowance for zonal isolation, and an adequate response to potential crossflow. A smart completion architecture should overcome these constraints and reduce overall capital expenditure while maximizing production. Furthermore, for wells requiring sand control, the completion solution must ensure a reliable and proven approach that minimizes the potential completion failures introduced by unsuccessful sand retention. This paper presents the completion strategy implemented in an intelligent well completed in the Malaysian deepwater Block K, during the field development of Siakap North Petai (SNP) Phase 2 and executed in Q1 2022.
