Abstract

A downhole tool and method of use. The downhole tool includes a stimulation sleeve receptive to a stimulation insert, and a production sleeve receptive to a production insert. A formation parameter of the reservoir is obtained. The tool is assembled to include the stimulation sleeve and the production sleeve, which are configured based on the formation parameter. The tool is run downhole into a wellbore to perform a stimulation operation via the stimulation sleeve and a production operation via the production sleeve.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A downhole tool for use in a wellbore, comprising:
a stimulation sleeve having a plurality of stimulation ports, wherein at least one of the plurality of stimulation ports is receptive to a stimulation insert;
a production sleeve having a production port receptive to a screen; and
a production control sleeve slidable with respect to the production sleeve to a longitudinally fixed position in which the production control sleeve exposes the screen of the production sleeve and partially exposes the plurality of stimulation ports.

2. The downhole tool of claim 1 , wherein the stimulation insert is a nozzle.

3. The downhole tool of claim 1 , further comprising a stimulation control sleeve for opening and closing the stimulation port of the stimulation sleeve.

4. The downhole tool of claim 3 , wherein the stimulation control sleeve covers the stimulation sleeve and the production control sleeve covers the production sleeve in a first configuration of the downhole tool, the stimulation control sleeve exposes the stimulation sleeve and the production control sleeve covers the production sleeve in a second configuration, and the production control sleeve partially covers the stimulation sleeve and exposes the production sleeve in the longitudinally fixed configuration.

5. The downhole tool of claim 1 , wherein the stimulation insert is selected for a stimulation operation determined for a formation parameter of a formation of the wellbore and the screen is selected for a production operation determined for the formation parameter.

6. The downhole tool of claim 1 , wherein the stimulation insert is inserted into the stimulation port and the screen is inserted into the production port at a wellhead of the wellbore.

7. A method of producing a reservoir, comprising:
conveying a tool into wellbore, the tool including a stimulation sleeve having a plurality of stimulation ports, wherein at least one of the plurality of stimulation ports is receptive to a stimulation insert, a production sleeve having a production port receptive to a screen, and a production control sleeve;
performing a stimulation operation via the stimulation sleeve with the production control sleeve covering the production port;
sliding the production control sleeve with respect to the production sleeve to a longitudinally fixed position in which the production control sleeve exposes the screen of the production sleeve and partially exposes the plurality of stimulation ports; and
performing a production operation via the production sleeve with the plurality of simulations ports remaining partially exposed.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the stimulation insert is a nozzle.

9. The method of claim 7 , further comprising operating a stimulation control sleeve to open and close the stimulation port of the stimulation sleeve.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the stimulation control sleeve covers the stimulation sleeve and the production control sleeve covers the production sleeve in a first configuration of the downhole tool, the stimulation control sleeve exposes the stimulation sleeve and the production control sleeve covers the production sleeve in a second configuration, and the production control sleeve partially covers the stimulation sleeve and exposes the production sleeve in the longitudinally fixed configuration.

11. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
obtaining a formation parameter of the reservoir;
determining a stimulation option and a production operation indicated by the formation parameter;
selecting a stimulation insert for the stimulation option and a screen for the production operation; and
attaching the stimulation insert to the stimulation port and the screen to the production port at a wellhead of the wellbore.
