Na Kika Field Experiences in the Use of Intelligent Well Technology to Improve Reservoir Management

The Na Kika project, located in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico,<br>is a unique development which ties-back six small to mediumsized<br>oil and gas fields to the world's second deepest<br>permanently moored production facility. Production from 12<br>subsea wells, in water depths ranging from 5800 to 7000 feet<br>is routed to the production host through three flowline loops<br>and one separate flowline. The project has been an economic<br>and technological success. The application of intelligent well<br>technology has enabled co-owners, Shell and BP, to<br>successfully develop Na Kika with a minimum number of<br>wells, and continues to help provide world-class reservoir<br>surveillance data and ensure high standards of reservoir<br>management.
