Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un système de production (1) pour produire des hydrocarbures à partir d'un puits (2). Ledit système de production comprend un tubage de production (3), une unité de contrôle adapté à mesurer un évènement de production du puits, une première zone de réservoir (6) comprenant au moins un premier fluide (10), s'étendant le long d'une partie externe du tubage de production, une seconde zone de réservoir (7) comprenant au moins un second fluide (11), s'étendant le long et à l'extérieur d'une autre partie du tubage de production, un premier dispositif d'écoulement d'entrée disposé dans la première zone de réservoir, ayant une première surface d'écoulement d'entrée, et étant adapté à admettre le premier fluide dans le tubage de production sous un premier débit volumique (V1), un second dispositif d'écoulement d'entrée disposé dans le second réservoir, ayant une seconde surface d'écoulement d'entrée, et étant adapté à admettre le second fluide dans le tubage de production sous un second débit volumique (V2), les première et seconde surfaces d'écoulement d'entrée des dispositifs d'écoulement d'entrée étant réglables, ce par quoi les premier et second dispositifs d'écoulement d'entrée peuvent être réglés de telle sorte que le premier débit volumique est supérieur ou égal au second débit volumique. La présente invention porte également sur une complétion de puits, laquelle complétion met en œuvre le système de production selon l'invention, ainsi que sur un procédé de production pour la production d'hydrocarbures à partir d'un puits.
