Wisam Shaker
Dr. Wisam shaker has long experience in the oil and gas industry. He took several technical positions in the field of reservoir and production engineering in the Middle East, North Africa, North America and Arab gulf. Among his achievements were sustaining daily field production hydrocarbon rates, participating in the field development process, leading technical studies and evaluating the new technology to maximize hydrocarbon recovery factors. Currently, he is leading the qualification assessment team to assess the new generation of the well completions of smart multilateral.
As for his academic career, Dr. Shaker developed and taught several courses for undergraduate studies in petroleum engineering. Also, he supervised several engineering projects for final year students of petroleum engineering. He published numerous papers, reviews and patents, including unique workflows to reduce reservoir uncertainties by incorporating a new surveillance plan, equalizing hydrocarbon reservoir pressure, and real production optimization for smart multilateral wells.
Dr. Shaker has received his BSc from the University of Baghdad, masters and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Calgary. Since 2008, he is a registered member with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists "APEGA" as a Professional Engineer. For his engagement in supporting and monitoring low professional experienced engineers, he was awarded several certificates of appreciation. Dr. shaker also served the Canadian oil and gas industry by helping newcomers to develop and acquire new skills for job hunting.

The unique smart completion allows real-time optimization and controlling of unwanted fluids on the segment level, utilizing the fast electrical ICVs. A comprehensive methodology has been developed to establish a production balance across the segments and the laterals utilizing the real-time downhole measurements rather than the tedious trial and error procedure. The methodology is divided into two components. In the first component: a single multilateral model is constructed using a single well modelling application. The model is calibrated to match the recent production test conducted on the well. Several simulation runs are performed on the calibrated model to test different combination of the downhole and surface choke settings until the well produces the target on condition that the laterals are producing equally. In the second component: a real-time production optimization process is conducted on the well using the outcomes of the first component.
The proposed methodology was conducted on multilaterals well with hydraulic and electrical ICVs and successfully completed. A good match has been obtained between the outcomes of the calibrated modeland the actual performance of the well. The process brings the well to the target at a straightforward task and avoids the trial and error procedure that may.
