• Closed loop digital oilfield solution • Single well control system (All electric or hydrid?) • Higher density of sensing technologies

• Array sensing • Pushing P&T into reservoir • Downhole multiphase flow meter

• Advanced well design • Autonomous ICDs • Disconnect system • Open-hole Completions • Higher density of zones (3+ zones in DW) • Remotely actuated devices (wireless)

Conclusion

Intelligent Completion technology improved economics of Brazilian pre-salt:

• CAPEX reduction through optimized design and reduced installation time

• Small diference in installation time compared to conventional designs

• Acelerated production with high productive wells

• Highly reliable equipment and installation services

• Early to prove expected benefits for improved oil recovery

• Dificult to implement change in the standard designs
