  • Publication number: 20230332497
    Abstract: Provided is a well system, and a related method. The well system, in one aspect, includes a wellbore extending through first and second subterranean hydrocarbon producing zones, as well as a feedthrough packer located in the wellbore, the feedthrough packer configured to help separate a first inflow of hydrocarbons from the first subterranean hydrocarbon producing zone through a first inflow control valve into production tubing from a second inflow of hydrocarbons from the second subterranean hydrocarbon producing zone through a second inflow control valve into the production tubing. The well system, in accordance with this aspect, may further include a fiber optic cable installed across the feedthrough packer, the fiber optic cable configured to collect inflow data from the first subterranean hydrocarbon producing zone or the second subterranean hydrocarbon producing zone.
