  • Patent number: 10538998
    Abstract: A technique facilitates control over production flow from a well in a manner which increases the longevity of the well. A sand screen assembly or a plurality of sand screen assemblies may be constructed for use in a production operation. Each sand screen assembly comprises a base pipe, a screen, an inflow control device, and a plurality of plugs located between the base pipe and the screen. The plurality of plugs is held initially by corresponding release mechanisms at a position upstream of a bypass. The bypass comprises a plurality of flow passages which route inflowing fluid through the inflow control device and into an interior of the base pipe. The plugs are sized to at least partially plug corresponding flow passages of the bypass upon the occurrence of a trigger event which causes a release mechanism or release mechanisms to release corresponding plugs.

    Abstract: Systems and methods of performing oilfield operations for an oilfield are provided. The oilfield has a subterranean formation with geological structures and reservoirs therein. A plurality of oilfield modules are positioned in an application. Each of the oilfield modules models at least a portion or attribute of the oilfield. The oilfield modules are selectively connected via a connection. The connections may be integrated connections providing cooperation for integrated modeling therebetween and/or dynamic connections providing knowledge sharing for unified modeling therebetween whereby at least one oilfield model is generated. At least one internal database may be positioned in the application for collecting oilfield data and operatively connected to the of oilfield modules. At least one oilfield model is generated using the oilfield data and the oilfield modules.
