Popis: Abstract Oil Production in Gulf of Thailand Offshore has always been hijacked by high water-cut. Field recovery suffers with most sand RF50,000 barrels more oil than that of BY-B for the first 7-monthsICD's application has freed up conventional surface choking-back control upon breakthrough. Instead, more liquid rates are pumped at controlled water-cut that transformed previous production to more rates with more oils.ICD's design and modeling, updated with LWD-derived data near real-time, has optimised the completions cost. Effectively, lower ICD's screen completions are applied only at sand-contact. In brief, the entire ICD's design and support together with the post-job production monitoring and optimisation will be discussed. This work provides an insight into transforming an otherwise ordinary horizontal well with typical high water-cut constraints into one of the guiding successful ICD's well that has warranted more ICD's application in the operators other nearby field developments.
