Smart Wells is an innovative technology applied to improve production efficiency, which allows production from two pay intervals at the same time. This technology requires the installation of downhole automatic equipment to continuously gather and transmit information to the surface on production or fluid injection profiles. It allows measuring flows from each producing formation in real time and regulating water injection rates in injection wells. The Smart Well technology creates additional economic and environmental benefits, since it allows a reduction in the number of well pads and associated field infrastructure, and also helps meet the requirements of environmental regulations. Pilot operation of Smart Wells in SPD started in 2006. Currently, 23 wells in the field are equipped with this technology.
