Abstract: A perforating gun is run in the hole with a valve assembly. Both are remotely actuated with known telemetry techniques. The gun is fired and flow takes place through the gun and is regulated remotely from the surface without further wellbore intervention. The valve assembly can be a sliding sleeve that can be regulated between end positions and in between for flow regulation. Other valve types are contemplated. Signaling can be by acoustic or pressure pulse patterns that work in association with a processor to actuate the gun and the valve assembly in the needed sequence.

Abstract: A remotely controllable flow control configuration including a body; one or more flow restrictors disposed in the body; and a selector fluidly connected with the body and capable of supplying or denying fluid to one or more of the one or more flow restrictors and method.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method is provided for producing fluid from a well formed in a formation including the step of generating a visual display depicting a depth-based layout of a plurality of production devices, a first setting of each production device and values for at least one production parameter, wherein the visual display enables an operator to graphically input a desired value for the at least one production parameter at a selected depth of the well. The method also includes determining a second setting for at least one production device utilizing a model and the desired value, wherein the second setting is expected to provide the desired value for the at least one production parameter the second setting is implemented.

Abstract: An intelligent well system can service three or more zones that have gravel packed screens. A modular system features a screen and a surface controlled production valve on an internal blank pipe that internally straddles the screen. A gravel exit valve is disposed above the blank pipe and the blank pipe can optionally have a fluid loss control valve. A gravel pack/fracturing assembly can engage each module and close the fluid loss valve and gravel outlet valve on the way out of a module. Optionally the fluid loss valve can be eliminated if the gravel packing and fracturing string has the ability to power the production valve. The modules can be connected by wet connects as can the production string to make the intelligent well system functional from the surface.
