SmartWell Systems
A SmartWell completion system optimizes production
by collecting, transmitting, and analyzing completion,
production, and reservoir data; allowing remote selective
zonal control and ultimately maximizing reservoir
efficiency by:
Helping increase production Commingling of
production from different reservoir zones increases and
accelerates production and shortens field life.
Helping increase ultimate recovery Selective zonal
control enables effective management of water injection,
gas and water breakthrough, and individual zone
productivity.
Helping reduce capital expenditure The ability to
produce from multiple reservoirs through a single
wellbore reduces the number of wells required for field
development, thereby lowering drilling and completion
costs. Size and complexity of surface handling facilities
are reduced by managing water through remote
zonal control.
Reliability
Reliability is essential for intelligent completion systems, and
Halliburton engineers reliability into all of its equipment.
The company is ISO 9001 application certified and has
developed processes to guide, monitor, and optimize system
delivery and performance. In addition, Halliburton has a
dedicated Reliability Assurance department that manages
reliability tools and processes.
Halliburton maintains a detailed database to track the field
performance of each SmartWell system installation. The
knowledge gleaned from this data is used to calibrate design
predictions and optimize the design and production process.

Operation
Hydraulically actuated, the HS-ICV is operated remotely
from surface using Halliburton Intelligent Completions
reliable Direct Hydraulics, Digital Hydraulics, or SmartPlex
downhole control system. The premium thermoplastic
hydraulic chamber seals are designed to operate under high
actuation pressures and temperatures. The valve has also been
subjected to a stringent qualification program, including
temperature, pressure, debris, and erosion tests.
The HS-ICV body has slots to accommodate two 1/4-in.
dedicated instrument wires for position sensors and allows
bypass of up to six 1/4-in. bare hydraulic control lines or
instrument wiresall without compromising valve body
rating or working envelope.
Debris-Tolerant Design
The HS-ICV has been designed and tested such that the flow
trim will ensure complete metal-to-metal (MTM) seal
integrity even when exposed to heavy wellbore debris. A onepiece valve mandrel design eliminates the potential for
wellbore debris to be trapped inside the tool and consequently
prevent valve movement.
Proprietary MTM Seal
The HS-ICV houses a proprietary metal-to-metal flank seal
that enables the valve to unload at a maximum differential
pressure of 5,000 psi without the threat of any valve damage.
Any additional tubing or annulus pressure acts on the MTM
seal to further ensure seal integrity, which has been
rigorously tested and qualified at low and high-pressure (up
to 10,000 psi) differentials.

Connections
The packer is made up directly to the tubing string via
integral premium thread connections. The internal mandrel
also uses premium thread connections for continuity.
Anti-pre-set mechanisms incorporates a hydraulically
activated interlock system and can be adjusted prior to
running in the hole. The interlock system allows the
packer to be run in highly deviated or horizontal wells,
eliminating the risk of pre-setting due to casing drag.
Tandem setting designed for tandem setting with
tailpipe in tension, compression, or neutral. Setting
mechanism is independent of tubing movement or
pressure induced tubing forces. Setting action will not
impart loads on or damage any penetrations or lines.
Penetrations
Provision is made for the passage of multiple hydraulic and/or
electrical control lines. All connections are sealed using
Halliburton proprietary FMJ connectors.
Elastomeric Seals
Material for setting chamber seals and tubing to lower
annulus is chosen based on application conditions.
Integral Element Anti-Extrusion System
The packing element is multi-piece with NBR sealing
elements. It incorporates an anti-extrusion system that
provides high resistance to swab off, which permits increased
running speeds and high annular circulation rates (up to
8 bbl/min) prior to setting. The system has been qualified
through multiple thermal cycles using both water and
nitrogen as test media.
Load and Functional Performance
All HF-series packers are ISO-14310 V0 or V3 rated.

Operation
The link from the control equipment located outside the well
to the downhole tools includes redundant hydraulic and
electrical buses in the form of control lines and electrical
conductors enclosed in a flatpack. The hydraulic control line
provides the hydraulic locomotive force to the SAM sensoractuated module tool, which in turn, using solenoid valves,
distributes this force to each side of the ICV piston. The
electrical conductor allows transmission of power and
communication signals from the well controller to all of the
downhole tools by means of the multi-drop telemetry system.
To simplify and increase the reliability of the cable to the
downhole tool interface, the SCRAMS system adopts a
signal-on power telemetry system. To further enhance the
downhole system survivability, the redundant electric and
hydraulic network is segmented (SegNetcommunications
protocol). If any failure, either electric or hydraulic, develops
in any section of the network between surface and the
downhole tools, the SegNet communications protocol
provides the ability to steer around the failure, retaining full
functionality of the complete SmartWell completion system.

Application
The SmartPlex downhole control system is applicable for
any dry tree multi-zone completion requiring more than two
valves. When compared to the Direct Hydraulics system, the
SmartPlex system not only helps reduce the overall cost of an
intelligent completion, but also reduces the complexity
involved by minimizing the number of control lines required.
Qualification Testing
The SmartPlex control system has successfully passed
extensive in-house deep well simulation testing. The tool has
been cycled more than 10,000 times at 300F (150C) at
10,000 psi internally and 15,000 psi externally. A three-valve
system integration test with 10,000-ft control line was also
successfully conducted.
HAL31805
HAL32215
Operation
The SmartPlex system is a design that uses a simple passive
electrical switching method. Each valve is coupled with a
SmartPlex actuator module which allows selective and
remote control of each valve. Control lines consisting of one
electrical and two hydraulic lines run from surface and are
networked to each SmartPlex module. A signal down the
electrical line switches a solenoid at the desired module,
allowing hydraulic communication between the surface
control unit and the valve. By regulating the fluid volume in
combination with a time-domain control method, valves can
be incrementally positioned (choking) to allow for advanced
reservoir management.
The SmartPlex downhole control system provides a simple methodology for controlling up to 12 interval control valves.

Operation
A typical Direct Hydraulics system includes an ICV, an
Accu-Pulse hydraulic positioning module, and a zonal
isolation packer such as the HF-1 packer. The ICV is a
remotely operated control valve used to control flow into or
out of an isolated reservoir interval. Hydraulic control lines
are installed at the surface and are fed directly into the ICV
piston. For control of a single ICV, two control lines are run
from surface with one attached to the open side of the piston
and the other attached to the close side. Pressure applied to
one line, rather than to the other, drives the piston to the
corresponding position. Because the piston is rigidly
attached to the ICV opening mechanism, movement of the
piston operates the valve. This feature can dramatically
improve the ability to shift a sleeve which has been stuck due
to scale buildup.

Accu-Pulse Module
Reliability Testing
Extensive reliability and integration testing is performed on
the Accu-Pulse module to ensure accuracy and long-term
performance.
Long-Term Testing
The Accu-Pulse module has been long-term tested for:
High temperature up to 330F (165C)
High pressure 10,000 psi
Flow-induced vibration
Benefits
Enhanced reservoir management through control of
produced or injected fluids
Helps provide accurate flow estimation and allocation
Avoidance of reservoir drawdown
High level of well control for internal gas lift, waterflood,
and commingled flow
Operation
The Accu-Pulse module provides incremental movement of a
suitable ICV flow trim by exhausting a predetermined
amount of control fluid from the ICV piston. The capability to
recharge and exhaust the same amount of fluid repeatedly
allows the ICV flow trim to be accurately moved through up
to 11 predetermined positions.
The Accu-Pulse module can communicate with either side of
the ICV piston. It can drive the ICV open or closed. This
ability provides incremental positioning in one direction with
the ICV being driven to a fully open or closed position when
pressure is applied from the other direction.

Control-Line Cut Sub
The Halliburton Intelligent Completions control-line cut
sub (CLCS) incorporates reliable and field-proven methods
for effective removal of the tubing string and control lines in
contingency situations. The CLCS helps ensure proper
retrieval of complex upper completions, ensuring a clean
tubing stub for subsequent fishing operations.
The CLCS is used in SmartWell completions where
hydraulic line and electric line flatpacks are used, and where
removal of the complex upper completion is necessary.

TEC
Operation
The CLCS provides the possibility to chemically or
physically cut the tubing string above a tubing packer. A
nipple profile below the CLCS will straddle the targeted cut
zone. Hydraulic lines are successfully disconnected by
pulling on the tubing string, and overcoming the ratings of
the FMJ fittings. In addition, the electrical line gets severed
during the pulling motion of the string. Tension on the
electrical line drives it against a cutting blade that swiftly
severs the line.

Splice Subs
The Halliburton Intelligent Completions splice sub
connector is a reliable, field-proven method of splicing two
ends of flatpack to facilitate repairs or lengthening. The splice
sub also helps protect the flatpack by securing it to the tubing.
The splice sub incorporates a two-piece robust splice clamp
with a key profile that locates into a groove machined in a
specially designed crossover. This arrangement ensures no
vertical or rotational slippage of the clamp occurs during
installation or retrieval of the tubing string. The crossover is
made up directly to the tubing string.
Application
The splice sub is used in all SmartWell completion systems
where a flatpack is deployed, including wells with chemical
injection, fiber optics, and surface-controlled subsurface
safety valves (SCSSV).

SmartWell Electro-Hydraulic
Disconnect Tool
3-30
Intelligent Completions
Operation
The electro-hydraulic disconnect tool features six hydraulic
control-line channels that provide hydraulic communication,
and one electrical channel that provides gauge
communication in a SmartWell system completion. All six
hydraulic channels are independent of each other, using
concentric FFKM T seal channels that help ensure
compatibility across most wellbore and control-line fluids
and which eliminate the need for special orientation.
The disconnect sub is run to depth, remaining centralized as
it enters the disconnect receptacle. The stabbing sequence
results in the protective electrical sleeves moving out of the
way. The sub shoulders out against the receptacle; in this
state the electrical contacts are completely mated with each
other. The electrical contact on the sub uses a canted spring
to ensure reliable mating regardless of radial tolerances.
Elastomeric pillow seals isolate wellbore fluids from the
electrical connector. The electrical connector is pressure
compensated to the annulus. Upon pulling out of the hole,
the sub disengages from the receptacle, and the sleeves
retract to their original position via springs, thus isolating the
connectors from the environment.

Memory Logging
The XPIO 2000 system comes standard with 4MB of flash
memory. A SanDisk CompactFlash card option extends the
memory by 2GB.
The 4MB memory can hold pressure and temperature data
from one gauge at one-minute updates for more than three
months. The 2GB option extends memory capacity to hold
pressure and temperature data from two gauges at onesecond updates for more than a year.
Data is retrieved via an RS-232 port using the supplied PC
program or by file transfer protocol (FTP) over the TCP/IP
link and can easily be imported to other applications such as
a spreadsheet. Data is logged to memory at a maximum rate
of once per second.
Both the standard XPIO and UACU+ are available in
NEMA4X enclosure and 19-in. rack mount versions. The
19-in. rack mount UACU+ has a 10-well/20-gauge capacity.
Serial Communications
The XPIO 2000 system supports Modbus RTU protocol via
its RS-485 or RS-232 port or via its TCP/IP port. These
interfaces are fully configurable in terms of parity, baud rate,
etc. As a slave device, the XPIO 2000 system provides gauge
data (i.e., pressure and temperature) that can be polled as
well as data from any of the 4-20mA inputs. Time and date
are also available.
Modem Support
The XPIO 2000 system supports modem communications
via the RS-232 port. Users may dial into the unit using
the supplied PC program, or use the port to talk to the
Modbus system over a radio modem, cellular modem, or
regular modem.

Hydraulic Systems
Halliburton Intelligent Completions surface hydraulic
system (SHS) supplies pressurized hydraulic fluid to
downhole interval control valves (ICV) located in the well. It
also retrieves pressure and temperature data from
Halliburton Intelligent Completions permanent downhole
gauges (PDG).
A standalone self-contained unit, the SHS consists of an
electro-hydraulic unit capable of delivering pressurized fluid
up to 10,000 psi to the SmartWell equipment. It is housed in
a single stainless steel enclosure which includes one main
hydraulic supply module (HSM) and up to six well control
modules (WCM) with expansion capabilities.
