Halliburton Intelligent Completions is the world's leading

provider of intelligent technology to the upstream oil


industry. First introduced in 1997, SmartWell system
technology was the industry's first intelligent well completion
system and was designed specifically to remotely control and
monitor specific reservoir zones.
Today, Halliburton Intelligent Completions offers a broad
complement of products and services that range from
reservoir engineering studies to advanced completion design,
zonal isolation and flow control, reservoir monitoring, and
surface digital infrastructure solutions.

SmartWell Systems
A SmartWell completion system optimizes production
by collecting, transmitting, and analyzing completion,
production, and reservoir data; allowing remote selective
zonal control and ultimately maximizing reservoir
efficiency by:
Helping increase production Commingling of
production from different reservoir zones increases and
accelerates production and shortens field life.
Helping increase ultimate recovery Selective zonal
control enables effective management of water injection,
gas and water breakthrough, and individual zone
productivity.
Helping reduce capital expenditure The ability to
produce from multiple reservoirs through a single
wellbore reduces the number of wells required for field
development, thereby lowering drilling and completion
costs. Size and complexity of surface handling facilities
are reduced by managing water through remote
zonal control.

SmartWell systems are designed to meet the demands of


every intelligent completion in all global areas and
environments. Halliburton Intelligent Completions has
designed its product lines and solutions accordingly.
Flow control solutions include interval control valves
(ICV), lubricator valves (LV), packers, and downhole
control systems.
Permanent monitoring solutions include downhole
gauges and flowmeters.
Digital infrastructure solutions include a supervisory
control and systems designed for manual, automatic, and
integrated operation and electro-hydraulic control and
monitoring systems.
Optical fiber solutions include distributed temperature
sensing (DTS) tools and software.

Reliability
Reliability is essential for intelligent completion systems, and
Halliburton engineers reliability into all of its equipment.
The company is ISO 9001 application certified and has
developed processes to guide, monitor, and optimize system
delivery and performance. In addition, Halliburton has a
dedicated Reliability Assurance department that manages
reliability tools and processes.
Halliburton maintains a detailed database to track the field
performance of each SmartWell system installation. The
knowledge gleaned from this data is used to calibrate design
predictions and optimize the design and production process.

Helping reduce operating expenditure Remote


configuration of wells optimizes production without
costly well intervention. In addition, commingling of
production from different reservoir zones shortens field
life, thereby reducing operating expenditures.

Operation
Hydraulically actuated, the HS-ICV is operated remotely
from surface using Halliburton Intelligent Completions
reliable Direct Hydraulics, Digital Hydraulics, or SmartPlex
downhole control system. The premium thermoplastic
hydraulic chamber seals are designed to operate under high
actuation pressures and temperatures. The valve has also been
subjected to a stringent qualification program, including
temperature, pressure, debris, and erosion tests.
The HS-ICV body has slots to accommodate two 1/4-in.
dedicated instrument wires for position sensors and allows
bypass of up to six 1/4-in. bare hydraulic control lines or
instrument wiresall without compromising valve body
rating or working envelope.
Debris-Tolerant Design
The HS-ICV has been designed and tested such that the flow
trim will ensure complete metal-to-metal (MTM) seal
integrity even when exposed to heavy wellbore debris. A onepiece valve mandrel design eliminates the potential for
wellbore debris to be trapped inside the tool and consequently
prevent valve movement.
Proprietary MTM Seal
The HS-ICV houses a proprietary metal-to-metal flank seal
that enables the valve to unload at a maximum differential
pressure of 5,000 psi without the threat of any valve damage.
Any additional tubing or annulus pressure acts on the MTM
seal to further ensure seal integrity, which has been
rigorously tested and qualified at low and high-pressure (up
to 10,000 psi) differentials.

Available in Three Variants


HSP Premium Choking ICV designed for more
advanced reservoir management when used in
conjunction with SCRAMS Surface Controlled
Reservoir Analysis downhole control system
HSB Base Choking ICV designed for more versatile
choking applications when used in conjunction with the
Accu-Pulse incremental positioning module
HSO designed for simple on/off applications
The flow trims on the HSB and HSP ICV can be customized
to suit a particular wells injection or production philosophy.
Tungsten carbide is the material of choice for these flow trims
to combat the threat of erosion due to high flow rates.
Shrouded Versions
A shrouded configuration of the HS-ICV is available
primarily for a two-zone stacked gravel pack application. The
shrouds can also be shrink-fitted with a carbide insert when
the valve is used in a stacked gravel pack injection application.
Deflector Version
This configuration of the HS-ICV is available primarily for
high rate gas or water injection applications. The deflectors
are lined with tungsten carbide inserts to prevent erosional
effects as a result of impingement from high flow velocity
exiting the valve flow trim.

Pressure-Balanced Valve Mandrel


A pressure-balanced valve mandrel design eliminates the
need for a latch mechanism to hold trim closed or the need to
maintain hydraulic pressure on the close chamber to keep the
flow trim shut. This balanced sleeve design also prevents
drifting of the sleeve in the incrementally open position.
Mandrel design also includes a shifting profile that allows the
sleeve to be mechanically shifted in the event hydraulic
control has been compromised or if sleeve momentum is not
achievable due to scale buildup inside the ICV.

HS Circulating Valve
The HS Circulating Valve is designed for use in SmartWell
and conventional completion systems. Based on the proven
HS interval control valve (ICV) design technology, the HS
circulating valve is designed for safe and efficient circulation
of completion fluids after landing the completion and setting
the HF-1 and completion packer.
The HS circulating valve is a bi-directional hydraulically
operated balanced piston valve with a gas tight redundant
sealing mechanism. The sealing mechanism consists of a
debris tolerant metal-to-metal (MTM) primary seal and a
secondary thermoplastic seal array. The valve mandrel
incorporates a carbide nose to prevent erosion of the sealing
surface areas.
Features
Proprietary, debris-tolerant metal-to-metal seal
Redundant thermoplastic seal ensures gas tight seal
integrity
Erosion resistant carbide nose seal
High circulation rates
Remotely activated without intervention
Manual override shift profile
Bypass slots for 12 1/4-in. control lines

For a SmartWell completion, once on depth, the HF-1


production packer is set via pressure down the production
tubing. Element packoff integrity is then determined by
applying pressure down the annulus. The open line of the
valve is pressured up via the surface control unit to open the
sleeve. Circulation down the annulus or tubing begins.
Higher circulation rates can be attained as fluid is not
circulated past the packer element. Once the desired volumes
have been circulated, the close line of the valve is pressured
up to move the sleeve into the closed position. The tubing is
then pressured up to a maximum of 7,500 psi to test the
sleeve integrity. A zero leak rate should be observed. On
completion of a successful pressure test, the completion
program can progress to the next step.
Field-Proven MTM Seal
The HS circulating valve houses a proprietary MTM seal
from the proven HS-ICV design. Any additional tubing or
annulus pressure acts on the seal to further ensure its
integrity. The seal has been rigorously tested and qualified at
low and high-pressure (up to 10,000 psi) differentials.

Benefits
Run above the production packer, operated after packer
is set, providing improved well control
Helps eliminate need to circulate across packer element,
reducing risk of damage to element
Prevents circulation pressures from impacting reservoir
Faster circulation rates reducing rig time
Allows for circulating well kill fluid during workover
operations without need to perforating tubing
Operation
The HS circulating valve is placed above the production
packer in the completion string and is run into the well.

Redundant Thermoplastic Seal


The MTM seal is backed up by a redundant thermoplastic
seal to achieve gas tight sealing integrity. These field-proven
thermoplastic metal energized (MSE) seals are designed for
redundancy in low and high-pressure applications.
The MTM along with the redundant thermoplastic seal have
been qualified to provide a gas tight (zero leak) seal integrity.
Pressure-Balanced Valve Mandrel
A pressure-balanced valve mandrel design eliminates the
need for a latch mechanism to hold the trim closed or the
need to maintain hydraulic pressure on the close chamber to
keep the flow trim shut. This balanced sleeve design prevents
drifting of the sleeve in the open position. The valve mandrel
design also includes a shifting profile that allows the sleeve to
be mechanically shifted in the event hydraulic control has
been compromised, or if sleeve movement is not achievable
due to scale buildup inside the ICV.

eRED-HS Remotely Operated Circulating Valve


The eRED-HS valve is a computer-controlled, gas-tight
(V0 rated) circulating valve that can be repeatedly opened or
closed by remote command. No surface connections or
interventions are required to communicate with or operate
the valve.
Permanently deployed above the production packer as part
of the tubing string, the eRED-HS valve controls the flow of
well fluids between the tubing and annulus without the need
for any interventions or surface control linessaving rigtime, costs, and helping to reduce risk.
Application
The eRED-HS valve has been designed specifically to offer a
safe and highly efficient method of circulating well fluids
during a well completion operation.
It is deployed as an integrated part of the tubing string,
positioned above the main production packer. This
configuration eliminates the need to circulate across the
unset packer, reducing the risk of damaging the elements and
preventing circulation pressure from impacting the reservoir.

With the circulation successfully completed, the eRED-HS


valve is commanded to re-close and/or permanently lock
using another pressure window trigger. Each time the valve is
operated this way, an intervention is eliminated from the
operation, saving rig-time, costs, and helping to reduce risk.
Features
Remotely operated time-after-time
Large tubing to annulus ports
Run open or closed
No dedicated personnel required
Metal-to-metal carbide seal
Benefits
Eliminates multiple interventions during completion
operationssaving time, money, and helping reduce risk
Allows for faster pump rates, providing safer and more
efficient circulation of well fluids
Provides flexible deployment options and well control
while running-in-hole
Reduces the number of operations personnelsaving
costs and helping reduce risk
Debris tolerant, V0 rated seal capable of withstanding
high circulation rates

HAL39061

Normally, the eRED-HS valve is run-in-hole in the closed


position and subsequently opened by remote command after
the packer has been set. The valve is commanded to open by
applying pressure at surface (for example, 2,000 psi for
10 minutes) against a deep-set barrier such as a reservoir
isolation barrier.

When open, well fluids can be circulated to underbalance the


well ready for production, and the large flow ports allow
faster pump rates to be used, saving rig-time.

Intelligent Completions

3-7

The assembly has integrated pressure and temperature


sensors which it uses to monitor the well conditions and is
preprogrammed to either open or close whenever a specified
condition (known as a trigger) is detected.
The triggers use a variety of well parameters including
ambient pressure, temperature, time or surface applied
pressure. Each time a trigger is detected the valve will either
open or close as per its instructions. This process can be
repeated time-and-time again without the need for any form
of intervention or any control lines to surface.
Controlling the eRED-HS Valve Remotely
By applying a defined pressure for a defined time at surface,
the operator can activate the pressure window trigger. This
allows direct communication to the eRED-HS valve so it can
be remotely operated. For example, applying between 1,000
and 1,500 psi for 10 minutes could instruct it to open.

A range of other triggers consisting of ambient well pressure,


ambient well temperature and a timer are also available.
These triggers are used to provide a pre-programmed
sequence for the eRED-HS valve to follow without any input
from the surface.
Each trigger can be used independently or combined to build
more elaborate instructions. For example, the eRED-HS
valve could be set to close when it detects pressure below
2,000 psi, but only after 100 hours downhole. The pressure
window trigger can also be used to manually cancel or
override any trigger or permanently lock the valve in its
current position.

HAL39080

Operation
The eRED-HS valve is an integrated assembly of two existing
devices. The first is the eMotion electronic control unit. This
is used to provide surface communication and the motive
force to operate the second devicea Halliburton HS-ICV
circulating valve.

Any pressure applied outside the defined values will be


ignored. This means pressure can be applied to the tubing
(for tubing integrity tests or packer setting, etc.) without any
risk of inadvertent activation.

One of the Four eRED -HS Valve


Flow Ports

Onboard data analysis allows the eRED-HS valve to


distinguish its own commands from other external factors
such as naturally fluctuating hydrostatic or reservoir
pressure. This enables the valve to behave as planned even if
the downhole conditions change unexpectedly.

LV-ICV Lubricator Valve


The Lubricator Interval Control Valve (LV-ICV) is a highperformance, remotely controlled, tubing-conveyed
downhole lubricator system. The LV-ICV isolates pressure or
flow above or below its position in the tubing string.

Benefits
Helps ensure pressure integrity from above and below
Helps control reservoir intervals without well
intervention

The LV-ICV can be used in any completion where pressure or


flow isolation in the tubing string is required. When included
in a SmartWell intelligent completion system, the LV-ICV
can be used to control flow into or out of reservoir intervals.
The LV-ICV can be controlled by any of Halliburton
Intelligent Completions Direct Hydraulics, Digital
Hydraulics systems, or SCRAMS control systems.

The LV-ICV is available in different sizes and materials to suit


specific well configurations.

Because the ball seals on the same surface for flow/pressure


from above and below, the LV-ICV pressure integrity is fully
testable from surface.

HAL33641

The LV-ICV incorporates a ball with full open bore ID. Two
control lines are connected to the LV-ICV, one at each side of
the operating piston. Pressure applied to one control line
opens the LV-ICV, allowing pressure or flow to pass through
the ball. Pressure applied to the other control line closes the
LV-ICV on the valve sealing surface for pressure integrity.

sSteam Valve
Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) and Steam Assisted Gravity
Drainage (SAGD) are widely used enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) methods for extracting bitumen or hydrocarbons in
heavy oil reservoirs. To help optimize production in CSS and
SAGD applications, Halliburton has developed the sSteam
valve. The sSteam valve allows uniform or selective steam
placement along the entire length of the horizontal section of
the wellbore.

Operation
The reliable Direct Hydraulics downhole control system uses
hydraulic lines connected directly from the surface to
remotely actuate the sSteam valve. Each of the two control
lines required to operate the valve is connected to the open or
close side of the valve respectively. If multiple valves are
present, the close side is networked to a common close line,
and the open side of each valve has a dedicated open line. A
specially developed hydraulic control fluid is used to operate
the valve.

This hydraulic control fluid retains its desired viscosity when


subjected to the extreme temperatures of the CSS/SAGD
environment.
In the event of steam breakthrough, the sSteam valve can be
selectively shut off, thus allowing efficient hydrocarbon
recovery without the threat of injected steam being produced
or the need to shut down production to cool the reservoir.

Connections
The packer is made up directly to the tubing string via
integral premium thread connections. The internal mandrel
also uses premium thread connections for continuity.
Anti-pre-set mechanisms incorporates a hydraulically
activated interlock system and can be adjusted prior to
running in the hole. The interlock system allows the
packer to be run in highly deviated or horizontal wells,
eliminating the risk of pre-setting due to casing drag.
Tandem setting designed for tandem setting with
tailpipe in tension, compression, or neutral. Setting
mechanism is independent of tubing movement or
pressure induced tubing forces. Setting action will not
impart loads on or damage any penetrations or lines.
Penetrations
Provision is made for the passage of multiple hydraulic and/or
electrical control lines. All connections are sealed using
Halliburton proprietary FMJ connectors.
Elastomeric Seals
Material for setting chamber seals and tubing to lower
annulus is chosen based on application conditions.
Integral Element Anti-Extrusion System
The packing element is multi-piece with NBR sealing
elements. It incorporates an anti-extrusion system that
provides high resistance to swab off, which permits increased
running speeds and high annular circulation rates (up to
8 bbl/min) prior to setting. The system has been qualified
through multiple thermal cycles using both water and
nitrogen as test media.
Load and Functional Performance
All HF-series packers are ISO-14310 V0 or V3 rated.

Punch and pressure release


Shift and pressure release

MC Packers

Both MC production and isolation packers have the facility to


feed through up to eight hydraulic or electrical control lines,
allowing communication with other SmartWell equipment
without compromising the integrity of the isolated zones. In
some instances, the MC production packer has been used as
an isolation packer below the primary HF-1 production
packer.
Features
Simple, cost-effective design

HAL30649

MC packers, available for both production (MC-1) and


isolation (MC-0) applications (no slips), are single-string,
cased-hole, retrievable packers primarily designed for use in
SmartWell completions in marginal or mature assets.

MC
Packer

Feed through for up to eight control lines


Tubing set
Nitrile and HNBR packing element
Benefits
Apply SmartWell technology in marginal or mature
assets
Maintain zonal integrity
Perform high pressure/tubing pressure testing
Achieve communication with laser tools
Setting Mechanism
Both MC production and isolation packers are tubing
pressure set. Incorporating a hydraulically activated interlock
system, the MC packers can be adjusted externally prior to
running in the hole. The interlock system allows the packers
to be run in highly deviated wells, helping eliminate the risk
of presetting due to casing.

Packing Element
The MC packer is fitted with a state-of-the-art nitrile and
HNBR packing element similar to those used in the highperformance HF-1 packer. This element offers robustness and
excellent sealing properties.
Nominal Conditions
The MC production and MC isolation packers are designed
for use in wells with the following normal conditions:
BHP < 5,000 psi
Negligible H2S and CO2
BHT < 275F
P 5,000 psi
Reliability
The MC production and isolation packers have been qualified
to an ISO 14310 V3 rating.

Release Mechanism
The MC production packer is released by the shift-and-pull
method. Once the primary packer is released, the MC
isolation packer can be retrieved simply by pulling it straight
out of the well.

Seal Stack Assembly


Halliburton Intelligent Completions seal stack assembly
isolates individual zones in SmartWell intelligent completion
systems in applications where it is not possible or desirable to
use packers for isolation.
The seal stack assembly enables bypass of control lines to
communicate with equipment installed lower in the
completion string.
Typical applications are gravel pack or ESS completions where
the seal stack assembly will stab into a polished bore to
provide isolation between different reservoir intervals in the
sandface completion. This ability is based on the use of a stack
of robust bonded seal rings arranged along the assembly
length.

The device is capable of isolating zones with a differential


pressure of up to 7,500 psi but, unlike the HF-1 packer range,
has no load bearing capability.
Features
Simple effective design
Multiple sets of bonded seals
Bypass for up to six control lines
Field proven
Benefits
Installs above ICVs and permanent downhole gauges
Isolates reservoir intervals without requiring a packer
Helps eliminate need for setting/release system

HAL30650

The seal stack assembly allows up to six independent control


lines to bypass, enabling control and monitoring of
equipment below, such as interval control valves (ICV) and
permanent downhole gauges.

Downhole Control Systems


Downhole control systems provide a method of integrating
the surface control system (either manual or automated) with
downhole SmartWell equipment.

SCRAMS Surface Controlled Reservoir


Analysis and Management System
The SCRAMS system is a fully integrated control and data
acquisition system that allows the operator to remotely control
the wellbore and obtain real-time pressure/temperature data
for each zone. This data feedback and accurate flow control
capability allow the operator to optimize reservoir
performance and enhance reservoir management.
The SCRAMS system is ideal for onshore, platform, and subsea
applications and is typically used to control the HS-ICV valve
for precise control of flow into or out of a reservoir interval.
Features
Can be used to control infinitely variable hydraulic flow
control valves
Can be used for land, platform, or subsea applications

Capable of interfacing with multiple subsea control

Intelligent Completions

Operation
The link from the control equipment located outside the well
to the downhole tools includes redundant hydraulic and
electrical buses in the form of control lines and electrical
conductors enclosed in a flatpack. The hydraulic control line
provides the hydraulic locomotive force to the SAM sensoractuated module tool, which in turn, using solenoid valves,
distributes this force to each side of the ICV piston. The
electrical conductor allows transmission of power and
communication signals from the well controller to all of the
downhole tools by means of the multi-drop telemetry system.
To simplify and increase the reliability of the cable to the
downhole tool interface, the SCRAMS system adopts a
signal-on power telemetry system. To further enhance the
downhole system survivability, the redundant electric and
hydraulic network is segmented (SegNetcommunications
protocol). If any failure, either electric or hydraulic, develops
in any section of the network between surface and the
downhole tools, the SegNet communications protocol
provides the ability to steer around the failure, retaining full
functionality of the complete SmartWell completion system.

Intelligent Completions

SAM Sensor Actuation Module


The SAM tool provides the control and data acquisition
functionality for the SCRAMS system. The SAM tool
contains redundant electronics, each separately connected to
individual flatpacks, a hydraulic manifold to distribute
hydraulic power, and sensors for pressure/temperature
measurement. The SAM tool is the active component of the
SegNet infrastructure. Incoming electrical and hydraulic
buses are terminated into the SAM tool and exit to provide
communication to other SAM tools further down the
completion string. Solenoid valve and electrical switches
incorporated in the SAM tool allow isolation of any
potentially faulty sections of the network connecting the next
tool in the completion.

SmartPlex Downhole Control System


The SmartPlex downhole control system is an electrohydraulic multi-drop system that provides simple and
reliable zonal control of multiple valves in a single wellbore
with a minimum number of control lines. The SmartPlex
downhole control system uses two hydraulic and one electric
line from the surface to remotely and selectively actuate
multiple downhole flow control devices such as interval
control valves (ICV). This makes a large number of tubing
hanger penetrations unnecessary and reduces operational
complexity and risk.

Application
The SmartPlex downhole control system is applicable for
any dry tree multi-zone completion requiring more than two
valves. When compared to the Direct Hydraulics system, the
SmartPlex system not only helps reduce the overall cost of an
intelligent completion, but also reduces the complexity
involved by minimizing the number of control lines required.

Qualification Testing
The SmartPlex control system has successfully passed
extensive in-house deep well simulation testing. The tool has
been cycled more than 10,000 times at 300F (150C) at
10,000 psi internally and 15,000 psi externally. A three-valve
system integration test with 10,000-ft control line was also
successfully conducted.

The SmartPlex system is ideally suited for long horizontal,


compartmentalized completions, in both cased or open hole,
where selective control of each interval is desired. Typically
this can be advantageous for selective stimulation control in
tight gas applications or in combination with a choking ICV
for drawdown optimization in production applications.

HAL31805

HAL32215

Operation
The SmartPlex system is a design that uses a simple passive
electrical switching method. Each valve is coupled with a
SmartPlex actuator module which allows selective and
remote control of each valve. Control lines consisting of one
electrical and two hydraulic lines run from surface and are
networked to each SmartPlex module. A signal down the
electrical line switches a solenoid at the desired module,
allowing hydraulic communication between the surface
control unit and the valve. By regulating the fluid volume in
combination with a time-domain control method, valves can
be incrementally positioned (choking) to allow for advanced
reservoir management.

The SmartPlex downhole control system provides a simple methodology for controlling up to 12 interval control valves.

Digital Hydraulics Downhole Control System


The Digital Hydraulics system is an all-hydraulic, multidrop intelligent completion system that can direct any flow
control tool in the Halliburton portfolio, providing simple
and reliable zonal control for even the most complex
reservoirs. The Digital Hydraulics system allows up to six
flow control devices to be controlled from only three
hydraulic control lines, making a large number of tubing
hanger penetrations unnecessary.
Features
High activation forces for flow control devices in
both directions
Three control lines for up to six downhole devices
Four control lines for up to 12 downhole valves
Can be deployed with non-integrated systems and
fiber optics
No setting depth limitations
All-hydraulic system
Supports fail as is devices
Field-proven
Independent of tubing or annular pressure

The Digital Hydraulics system controls simple open/close


interval control valves (ICV) and lubricator valves (LV) to
provide on/off flow control from each zone.
Surface Control
The surface equipment for the Digital Hydraulics system,
Halliburton SmartWell Master supervisory application, is
designed as part of the Digital Infrastructure system. A fully
automated surface hydraulic system (SHS), controlled from a
central location allows control of the Digital Hydraulics
system from a local or remote control station.
The SmartWell Master application translates Digital
Hydraulics system logic into standard central control room
operations. This translation allows the operator to easily
monitor and control multiple Digital Hydraulics
completion systems as well as an individual zone within an
intelligent well completion.

Decoder 2

Existing pressure greater than 2,000 psi is represented by a 1


and pressure less than 500 psi is represented by a 0.
Depending on the pressure in the wellbore, a sequence of 1s
and/or 0s is communicated to the flow control devices within
the Digital Hydraulics system.

Each flow control device is paired with a decoder that is


designed to respond to its own unique code and rejects all

Direct Hydraulics Downhole Control System


The Direct Hydraulics downhole control system uses direct
hydraulic control lines from the surface to remotely actuate
downhole flow control devices such as interval control valves
(ICV). The Direct Hydraulics system also provides on/off
variable control of flow into or out of reservoir intervals and
can be used in onshore, platform, or subsea applications.
Features
Can be used to control all Halliburton hydraulic flow
control equipment
Provides all-hydraulic control
Networking option helps reduce number of control lines
required
Operates as a closed-loop system
Requires no setting depth

Operation
A typical Direct Hydraulics system includes an ICV, an
Accu-Pulse hydraulic positioning module, and a zonal
isolation packer such as the HF-1 packer. The ICV is a
remotely operated control valve used to control flow into or
out of an isolated reservoir interval. Hydraulic control lines
are installed at the surface and are fed directly into the ICV
piston. For control of a single ICV, two control lines are run
from surface with one attached to the open side of the piston
and the other attached to the close side. Pressure applied to
one line, rather than to the other, drives the piston to the
corresponding position. Because the piston is rigidly
attached to the ICV opening mechanism, movement of the
piston operates the valve. This feature can dramatically
improve the ability to shift a sleeve which has been stuck due
to scale buildup.

Accu-Pulse Incremental Positioning Module

The Accu-Pulse module works in tandem with either


Halliburton Digital Hydraulics or Direct Hydraulics
downhole control systems and with the HS-ICV multiposition valve.
Applications
The Accu-Pulse module provides effective incremental
control of an ICV in a range of applications, such as:

Internal gas lift


Waterflood
Gas injection
Commingled production

Features
Hydraulic, incremental control
Ability to close valve from any position in one press cycle
Provides up to 11 discrete positions with the appropriate
interval control valve

HAL30629

Halliburton Accu-Pulse incremental positioning module is a


complementary control module that provides incremental
opening of a multi-position interval control valve (ICV). The
Accu-Pulse control module allows the operator to control
produced or injected fluid rates to the desired quantity,
greatly enhancing reservoir management capabilities.

Accu-Pulse Module

Reliability Testing
Extensive reliability and integration testing is performed on
the Accu-Pulse module to ensure accuracy and long-term
performance.
Long-Term Testing
The Accu-Pulse module has been long-term tested for:
High temperature up to 330F (165C)
High pressure 10,000 psi
Flow-induced vibration

Benefits
Enhanced reservoir management through control of
produced or injected fluids
Helps provide accurate flow estimation and allocation
Avoidance of reservoir drawdown
High level of well control for internal gas lift, waterflood,
and commingled flow
Operation
The Accu-Pulse module provides incremental movement of a
suitable ICV flow trim by exhausting a predetermined
amount of control fluid from the ICV piston. The capability to
recharge and exhaust the same amount of fluid repeatedly
allows the ICV flow trim to be accurately moved through up
to 11 predetermined positions.
The Accu-Pulse module can communicate with either side of
the ICV piston. It can drive the ICV open or closed. This
ability provides incremental positioning in one direction with
the ICV being driven to a fully open or closed position when
pressure is applied from the other direction.

Operation
The CLCS provides the possibility to chemically or
physically cut the tubing string above a tubing packer. A
nipple profile below the CLCS will straddle the targeted cut
zone. Hydraulic lines are successfully disconnected by
pulling on the tubing string, and overcoming the ratings of
the FMJ fittings. In addition, the electrical line gets severed
during the pulling motion of the string. Tension on the
electrical line drives it against a cutting blade that swiftly
severs the line.

Splice Subs
The Halliburton Intelligent Completions splice sub
connector is a reliable, field-proven method of splicing two
ends of flatpack to facilitate repairs or lengthening. The splice
sub also helps protect the flatpack by securing it to the tubing.
The splice sub incorporates a two-piece robust splice clamp
with a key profile that locates into a groove machined in a
specially designed crossover. This arrangement ensures no
vertical or rotational slippage of the clamp occurs during
installation or retrieval of the tubing string. The crossover is
made up directly to the tubing string.
Application
The splice sub is used in all SmartWell completion systems
where a flatpack is deployed, including wells with chemical
injection, fiber optics, and surface-controlled subsurface
safety valves (SCSSV).

Intelligent Completions

Operation
The electro-hydraulic disconnect tool features six hydraulic
control-line channels that provide hydraulic communication,
and one electrical channel that provides gauge
communication in a SmartWell system completion. All six
hydraulic channels are independent of each other, using
concentric FFKM T seal channels that help ensure
compatibility across most wellbore and control-line fluids
and which eliminate the need for special orientation.
The disconnect sub is run to depth, remaining centralized as
it enters the disconnect receptacle. The stabbing sequence
results in the protective electrical sleeves moving out of the
way. The sub shoulders out against the receptacle; in this
state the electrical contacts are completely mated with each
other. The electrical contact on the sub uses a canted spring
to ensure reliable mating regardless of radial tolerances.
Elastomeric pillow seals isolate wellbore fluids from the
electrical connector. The electrical connector is pressure
compensated to the annulus. Upon pulling out of the hole,
the sub disengages from the receptacle, and the sleeves
retract to their original position via springs, thus isolating the
connectors from the environment.

In the disconnect receptacle, spring-loaded balls maintain a


debris barrier to help prevent contamination of the lower
completion hydraulic channels. As the disconnect sub enters
the receptacle, it safely lifts the poppets off seat. The poppet
springs are designed for an optimum force that prevents any
damage to the seals. The sub continues into the disconnect
receptacle until the latching mechanism is engaged, and the
sub shoulders out on the receptacle. In this mated state, the
hydraulic seals reliably isolate annulus to tubing and the
hydraulic channels.
The secure latching mechanism can be configured in the
region to complement the customer well plan. Three modes
of operation are available:
Snap Latch: Snap In/Snap Out
Anchor: Snap In/Rotate Out to Release

productivity through the life of the well or reservoir by
providing reliable, real-time permanent monitoring of
downhole conditions. Based on an industry-standard, fieldproven resonating quartz crystal sensor, ROC gauges can be
used for single or multi-zone monitoring applications. In
multi-zone applications, variations of the standard gauge are
available, along with dual, triple, and quad splitter block
assemblies for multi-drop capabilities.
Halliburton Intelligent Completions has installed more than
1,000 ROC permanent gauge systemsboth as standalone
systems and as integrated components of a SmartWell
completion systemworldwide.

Mechanical Arrangement
The ROC gauge mechanical arrangement consists of all
wetted parts manufactured from high-performance,
NACE-compliant corrosion resistant alloys (CRA).
Cable Termination
Cable termination is provided with a pressure-testable, dual
metal-to-metal ferrule seal arrangement for isolating the
downhole cable outer metal sheath from the well fluid.
Testing
The complete ROC gauge (sensor and electronic boards) is
independently calibration-checked in our calibration facility.
A calibration certificate is included with each gauge and is
provided before each installation.

New gauge designs are subjected to a Highly Accelerated


Lifetime Test (HALT) program. This program is a series of
controlled environmental stresses designed to ensure
stringent criteria are met for thermal shock, mechanical
shock, vibration, and thermal aging.
During manufacture, all ROC gauges are also subjected to
Environmental Stress Screening (ESS) to highlight any defect
in functionality prior to installation at the wellsite. This
screening method has proven to be far more effective than
burn-in techniques. All gauges are further subjected to
pressure tests at elevated temperatures during Factory
Acceptance Testing (FAT).

SoftFlow Virtual Flowmeter


Halliburton Intelligent Completions SoftFlow virtual
flowmeter is a data analysis and calculation program that
provides well and zonal flow rate estimation and allocation in
real time.
Traditional asset production information is often based on
data acquired intermittently from individual well tests. The
SoftFlow application provides real-time estimates for
continuous reporting of daily production on a per-well and/
or per-zone basis. No additional equipment is required for a
SmartWell completion system.
The SoftFlow application draws information from downhole
sensors as well as attributes from interval control valves

Surface Positioning System


The surface positioning system provides a methodology to
incrementally control downhole interval control valve (ICV)
position in each zone through the Halliburton Intelligent
Completions surface hydraulic system (SHS) without the
need for downhole control devices. It is implemented by
calibrating and moving ICVs from the surface with the help
of an algorithm embedded into the SHS controller.
With this method, a specific pressure is applied for a specific
time to one side of the ICV to cause it to move the desired
increment, thus exposing or closing a number of flow ports.
At the same time, compensating pressure is applied to other
ICVs to keep them at their current position.
The surface positioning system is a reliable, cost-effective
solution to move downhole ICVs to the desired choke open
or close position without the need for reset.
Features
Implemented through algorithms embedded into the
SHS controller; no extra hardware is needed for the
automated SHS
Can be integrated into the SmartWell Master
supervisory application
Maintains other ICVs in their current position by
applying compensating pressures
HAL32162

Can be used for wells with ICVs up to 10,000 ft deep;


applications out of this range can be reviewed on a
project-by-project basis
Can be used for a well with a configurable number
of ICVs

Surface Positioning of ICVs

Can be used for completions with a common close line as


well as independent open and close control-line
configurations

Intelligent Completions

Benefits
Provides incremental ICV position control from surface
without the need for downhole control devices, thereby
reducing system cost
Provides ability to incrementally position an ICV in
either direction (open or close) without the need to close
the ICV first
Requires less time to perform incremental moves than
systems using downhole control devices for this purpose
Provides a flexible and configurable number of discrete
choke positions for an ICV
Can be applied to new or existing direct hydraulics ICV
installations controlled from an automated SHS

Surface positioning system calibration involves


determination of downhole response delay through
simulation software. Accuracy depends upon correct
information about the well completion configuration and
control fluid. Well condition changes require recalibration of
the surface positioning system to maintain accuracy.
The surface positioning method can provide incremental
control of an ICV in a range of applications, such as:

Auto-gas lift
Waterflood
Gas injection
Commingled production

Remote Power Systems


For circumstances in which conventional power is
unavailable, unreliable, or cost-prohibitive, Halliburton
Intelligent Completions offers a wide variety of remote power
systems. Each system is designed to support the Intelligent
Completions digital infrastructure data acquisition and
control systems, including:
XPIO 2000 series of data acquisition and control units
Surface hydraulic system
OptoLog DTS CE fiber-optic system
Depending on site conditions and available resources,
operators can choose from solar, wind, thermoelectric
generator (TEG), engine generator-set (gen-set), or DC-UPS
systems, either individually or in combination. Systems
utilize existing local resources and enable wireless
communication to remote locations. Offshore systems
employ solar power with wind power backup.
The remote power systems employed by Halliburton
Intelligent Completions are completely self-contained, preassembled, and tested prior to shipment and are specifically
tailored for the electrical load and climatic conditions of each
particular site.
Reliability
Health and safety margins are built into each remote
power system in order to ensure high reliability and
continuous operation. Like all Halliburton Intelligent
Completions equipment and electronics, the remote power
systems are pre-wired inside custom enclosures and are fully
factory-acceptance tested prior to shipment. Systems are
warranted for five years.

Solar Photo Voltaic (SPV) Systems


SPV systems convert sunlight to DC electricity and are the
preferred choice in most circumstances. Solar power can be
used in conjunction with wind, TEG, or gen-set systems.
Wind Generators
Modern electrical windmills harness wind power that can
complement solar power in conditions with intermittent
sunlight. Regular maintenance and repair are required.
Thermoelectric Generators (TEG)
TEGs burn natural gas and are extremely reliable when
natural gas is readily available. They can also be a good
supplement to solar power. A separator is normally required
if the gas is wet.
DC-UPS
DC-UPS is recommended for situations in which power is
dirty, intermittent, or unreliable. Additional filtering and
surge suppression are offered in addition to backup.
Engine-Generator Set (Gen-Set) Systems
Gen-set systems use conventional fuel to charge a large
battery bank. They can be used to supplant solar power and
to charge batteries in temporary applications or in
circumstances in which weather extremes make other
options unattractive.

Choosing the Appropriate Remote Power System


Among the most crucial considerations related to choosing
an appropriate remote power system is the year-round
availability of sunlight. Every remote power system must be
able to perform reliably during even the most inclement
weather. Accurate load information is also critical,
particularly if communications equipment is included.
In general, solar photo voltaic (SPV) cells are the preferred
method for providing remote power because of their
simplicity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. The solar-panel/
battery combination is determined by accurately calculating
the total power consumption of the data acquisition and
control equipment and then sizing the system based on the
worst weather conditions. A safety margin is included.

span, and offset of a permanent downhole gauge, and the
XPIO 2000 system will drive the translated value onto an
output as it is decoded from down hole.

Memory Logging
The XPIO 2000 system comes standard with 4MB of flash
memory. A SanDisk CompactFlash card option extends the
memory by 2GB.
The 4MB memory can hold pressure and temperature data
from one gauge at one-minute updates for more than three
months. The 2GB option extends memory capacity to hold
pressure and temperature data from two gauges at onesecond updates for more than a year.
Data is retrieved via an RS-232 port using the supplied PC
program or by file transfer protocol (FTP) over the TCP/IP
link and can easily be imported to other applications such as
a spreadsheet. Data is logged to memory at a maximum rate
of once per second.
Both the standard XPIO and UACU+ are available in
NEMA4X enclosure and 19-in. rack mount versions. The
19-in. rack mount UACU+ has a 10-well/20-gauge capacity.
Serial Communications
The XPIO 2000 system supports Modbus RTU protocol via
its RS-485 or RS-232 port or via its TCP/IP port. These
interfaces are fully configurable in terms of parity, baud rate,
etc. As a slave device, the XPIO 2000 system provides gauge
data (i.e., pressure and temperature) that can be polled as
well as data from any of the 4-20mA inputs. Time and date
are also available.

The XPIO 2000 system comes with two relay contacts
(1/2A at 115VAC) which are controlled by software. When a
selected gauge's pressure rises above or falls below a set
pressure, the contact is closed. This feature is ideal for alarms
and/or pump control.
Web-Installed PC Application
The XPIO 2000 system comes with a web-installed
application that provides for full configuration of the unit as
well as data memory retrieval, real-time logging of data to
the computer hard drive, and real-time data trending.

Intelligent Completions

Hydraulic Systems
Halliburton Intelligent Completions surface hydraulic
system (SHS) supplies pressurized hydraulic fluid to
downhole interval control valves (ICV) located in the well. It
also retrieves pressure and temperature data from
Halliburton Intelligent Completions permanent downhole
gauges (PDG).
A standalone self-contained unit, the SHS consists of an
electro-hydraulic unit capable of delivering pressurized fluid
up to 10,000 psi to the SmartWell equipment. It is housed in
a single stainless steel enclosure which includes one main
hydraulic supply module (HSM) and up to six well control
modules (WCM) with expansion capabilities.

The integrated system consists of the SmartWell


Master supervisory application and an SHS consisting
of a hydraulic supply module and one well control
module per well. Data acquisition and control can be
managed either locally (by keypad or portable device
such as a laptop computer or PDA) or remotely.
The automated system is an SHS which includes a
hydraulic supply module and one well control module
per well. Data acquisition and control can be managed
either locally (by keypad or portable device such as a
laptop computer or PDA) or remotely.
The manual system consists of the same basic hardware
as the automated system but does not provide for
automated or remote control. Manually operated valves
are used throughout.

HAL31443

The digital infrastructure system features a range of surface


hydraulic systems designed to meet every environment.

Hydraulic Supply Module (HSM)
The hydraulic supply module (HSM) provides control fluid
to the well control module at the required pressure and
cleanliness. Material selection for some HSM components
may change according to the type of pressure and control
fluid used.
The HSM contains the tanks necessary to store and filter
control fluid. For optimal performance of downhole
equipment, all HSM designs are provided with a
recirculation capability for managing control fluid
cleanliness. Although the standard product contains two
tanks and two pumps, several variationsincluding one tank
and one pumpare available, depending on the number of
wells and operational philosophy.
The HSM provides all the electrical/hydraulic connections
for connection to the well control modules. The HSM
controls and manages system operation manually (switches)
or automatically (pressure transmitters and PLC). In
automated systems, the hydraulic control unit houses the
PLC and its accessories.

Hydraulic Supply Module

Well Control Module (WCM)


A well control module (WCM) provides a means of applying
pressure sequences to hydraulic control lines and therefore a
way of manipulating the downhole tools. Pressurization and
venting of the control lines are achieved by manual or
automatic supply/block/vent of directional control valves.
Designed for both reliable performance in the target
environment and for quick installation for future expansion,
well control modules are interchangeable modules that can
be combined with the same cabinet for multi-well
applications, providing a flexible base for future expansion.
In automated systems, each WCM is controlled by a
dedicated well control unit which can be fitted with an
optional permanent downhole gauge interface card (PDGIC)
module for communication with downhole gauges in
the well.
The number of hydraulic lines required to operate a
particular SmartWell completion system is dependent on the
chosen control system (Halliburton Intelligent Completions
Digital Hydraulics or Direct Hydraulics systems) and the
number of downhole valves in the well.

The hydraulic supply module consists of:

Clean supply reservoir (typically 95 L)


Return reservoir (typically 220 L)
Main hydraulic supply pump
Recirculation pump
Accumulator (up to 10,000 psi)
Filters (1m, NAS1638, Class 6)
