According to examples, system control may include accessing a plurality of procedures to control an operation of a system to prevent an occurrence of a fault in the system and/or a reduction of an output of the system. A highest ranked procedure may be learned from the plurality of procedures to control the operation of the system to prevent the occurrence of the fault in the system and/or the reduction of the output of the system. Real-time data associated with the system may be accessed. Further, the operation of the system may be controlled by applying the highest ranked procedure to prevent the occurrence of the fault in the system and/or the reduction of the output of the system.

Real-time engineering analysis based system control

According to examples, steam breakthrough detection and prevention for a steam assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) well may include accessing real-time data associated with the SAGD well. Parameter values associated with an operation of the SAGD well may be determined based on the real-time data associated with the SAGD well. A potential of occurrence of steam breakthrough may be determined based on an analysis of selected parameter values from the parameter values associated with the operation of the SAGD well. A procedure to prevent the occurrence of the steam breakthrough may be determined based on an application of hypothetical parameter values associated with the operation of the SAGD well to an engineering analysis model associated with the SAGD well. Further, the operation of the SAGD well may be controlled based on the procedure to prevent the occurrence of the steam breakthrough.

Steam breakthrough detection and prevention for steam assisted gravity drainage wells

The invention relates to a method of performing intelligent completion design for a reservoir within a field having at least one wellsite with a steam injection well penetrating a subterranean formation of the field for extracting fluid from the reservoir therein. The method involves obtaining measurement data of the subterranean formation associated with the steam injection well, generating, using a processor of a computer, a reservoir model based on the measurement data, determining, using the processor, a geological profile adjacent to the steam injection well using the reservoir model, identifying, using the processor, a location along the steam injection well based on the geological profile according to a pre-determined criteria, and defining and storing, using the processor, a steam injection configuration based on the location.
