SINGLE TRIP MULTI-ZONE COMPLETION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Disclosed are systems and methods of producing from multiple production zones with a single trip multi-zone completion system. One method includes arranging an outer completion string within a wellbore adjacent the one or more formation zones, the outer completion string having at least one sand screen arranged thereabout and a flow control device movably disposed within the sand screen, locating an insert string within the outer completion string, the insert string having at least one control and data acquisition module disposed thereon that has one or more mechanical coupling mechanisms, locating the flow control device with the one or more mechanical coupling mechanisms, and moving the flow control device between a closed position and an open position with the one or more mechanical coupling mechanisms.

1. A method of producing from one or more formation zones, comprising:
arranging an outer completion string within a wellbore adjacent the one or more formation zones, the outer completion string having at least one sand screen arranged thereabout and a flow control device movably disposed within the at least one sand screen; locating an insert string within the outer completion string, the insert string having at least one control and data acquisition module disposed thereon and the at least one control and data acquisition module having one or more mechanical coupling mechanisms; locating the flow control device with the one or more mechanical coupling mechanisms; and moving the flow control device between a closed position and an open position with the one or more mechanical coupling mechanisms, wherein, when in the open position, fluids may communicate from the one or more formation zones, through the at least one sand screen, and into the outer completion string.
