InflowControl have developed the newest generation of Autonomous Inflow Control Technology, the Autonomous Inflow Control Valve (AICV®). The AICV® can reduce/or shut-off un-wanted Gas or Steam production and also reduce/or shut-off Water inflow into production wells. This is done Autonomously, without well intervention, all whilst supporting increased oil production thus enhancing total recoverability from assets.

Sr. Reservoir Engineer/Completion Domain Champion
-
Sep 2013 - May 2016
• Introduce new completion technology integrated solution to overcome reservoir/production challenges in operating companies such as the integration of downhole isolation system with ESP completion, and the integration of Hydraulic Line Wet Mate Connect System with ESP and intelligent completion for Libya wells.• Introduce integrated solution for high water production ESP wells. The proposal integrates multi position ICD with different chemical tracer, and downhole isolation valve. The solution allow ESP repair without the need of killing the well and provide balanced influx profile and an option to isolate watered out compartments using CT without the need of workover rig.• Coordinate between different Schlumberger segments to provide integrated solutions.• Develop/support intelligent completion and ICD technology in Libya and North Africa market.• Develop/manage completion technical support team.• Perform wells production optimization to select the optimum completion type.• Build/Manage Schlumberger completion marketing strategic plans in Libya and North Africa.• Organize/manage completion technical events “workshop, client technical courses, New Technology introduction,…)
