Intelligent completions could improve many of the world’s oil and gas wells, but not all are suited to the technology. There is another option.
The paper describes the deployment of fiber-optic monitoring of CO₂ injection and containment in a carbonate saline aquifer onshore Abu Dhabi.

In this study, the authors investigated a fully data-driven approach using artificial neural networks (ANNs) for real-time virtual flowmetering and back-allocation in production wells. -
The authors detail the development of a technique based on surface-to-borehole controlled-source electromagnetics (CSEM), which exploits the large contrast in resistivity between injected water and oil to derive 3D resistivity distributions, proportional to saturations, in the reservoir.
