SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WATER BREAKTHROUGH DETECTION AND INTERVENTION IN APRODUCTION WELL

摘要

A system and method for estimating an occurrence of a water breakthrough in a production well (50) is provided that includes estimating, at least per iodically, a measure of water in the fluid produced from one or more product ion zones (52a, 52b) and estimating the occurrence of the water breakthrough utilizing at least in part a trend of the estimated measures of the produce d fluid. A controller (150) determines one or more actions to be taken to mi tigate an effect of the water breakthrough and may automatically initiate on e or more such actions.
