Completions for well zone control
Various embodiments of the present disclosure include a system, method, and apparatus for increased control of steam injection for use in oil and gas recovery in a well. Embodiments can comprise a plurality of controllable zones of injection disposed in the well. The plurality of controllable zones include a primary conduit that houses a plurality of concentric conduits of decreasing diameter disposed inside of the primary conduit. In some embodiments, each of the concentric conduits includes a proximal end and a distal end. In some embodiments, each of the plurality of concentric conduits are fluidly sealed from one another from their respective proximal end to distal end.
1. A system for increased control of steam injection for use in oil and gas recovery in a well, comprising:
a plurality of controllable zones of injection disposed in the well, wherein the plurality of controllable zones include the following:
a primary conduit that houses a plurality of separate conduits, wherein each of the conduits includes a proximal end and a distal end, each of the conduits is configured to carry a separate fluid from the proximal end to the distal end of each respective conduit.
2. A system for increased control of steam injection for use in oil and gas recovery in a well, comprising:
a plurality of controllable zones of injection disposed in the well, wherein the plurality of controllable zones include a primary conduit that houses a plurality of conduits disposed inside of the primary conduit, wherein:
each of the conduits includes a proximal end and a distal end;
the plurality of conduits are fluidly sealed from one another from their respective proximal end to their distal end; and
the primary conduit and the plurality of conduits disposed inside of the primary conduit include a plurality of modular sections of conduit fluidly coupled with one another via compression couplings.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a control valve system disposed above ground, the control valve system configured to blend saturated steam and superheated steam per zone to generate at least one of a desired level of steam quality per each one of the plurality of controllable zones and a superheat per zone.
4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a control valve system disposed above ground, the control valve system configured to add enhanced bitumen recovery additives via each one of the plurality of controllable zones.
5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a control valve system disposed above ground, the control valve system configured to control solvent injection via each one of the plurality of controllable zones for enhanced oil recovery.
6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a control valve system disposed above ground, the control valve system configured to add at least one of a surfactant and a solvent via each one of the plurality of controllable zones for enhanced oil recovery.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a number of the plurality of controllable zones of injection disposed in the well is in a range from 3 to 7 controllable zones of injection.
8. The system as in claim 7 , wherein each one of the controllable zones of injection is formed via one of the conduits disposed within the primary conduit.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a number of the plurality of controllable zones of injection disposed in the well is in a range from 3 to 6 controllable zones of injection.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the primary conduit is a tube.
11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the primary conduit is a pipe.
12. The system of claim 1 , wherein each one of the conduits is a pipe.
13. The system of claim 1 , wherein each one of the conduits is a tube.
14. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a control valve system disposed above ground, the control valve system configured to blend saturated steam and superheated steam per zone to generate a desired level of steam quality per each one of the plurality of controllable zones.
