ABSTRACT
Huge amount of hydrocarbon in place is left unrecovered. Integrated reservoir management, inaddition to the use of new technologies improves hydrocarbon recovery. Intelligent completion isoneofthetechnologieswhichenhancereservoirmanagementtherebyimprovingthehydrocarbon recovery.
This work presents a review of intelligent completion technology, guidelines to evaluate thedecisionwhetherornottoimplementintelligentcompletionandevaluatesfieldcasesofintelligentcompletion installation.

Comparison of intelligentcompletion with non-intelligentcompletion was basedoneaseofdataacquisitionforreservoirmanagement,incrementaloilproductionandprofitability criteria. The yard sticks used for economic analysis include the net present value,discountedpayout period, profitabilityindexand growth rateof return.

The results of this study can beused to evaluate the feasibility of executing anintelligentcompletion project; especially in fields were intelligent completion is yet to be implemented as atoolforreservoir management.
