Post-installation, water production dropped to 34 bbl/d and oil production increased to 1,134 bbl/d.
The AICV installation managed to reduce water cut from 71% to 3%, significantly enhancing overall production efficiency.
A case study highlighted deployment best practices for AICV systems, applicable to future oil recovery efforts.
Using AICV technology, operators in Libya converted a non-producing well into a high-output oil producer.
