Intelligent Well (IW) technology has built-up several years' production experience. Numerous publications have described how remote flow control and monitoring capabilities can lead to fewer interventions, a reduced well count and improved reservoir management. Despite the maturity of IW equipment, the concept of the integrated IW as a key element in the "Digital Oil Field" still not fully developed. Permanent monitoring systems in this framework play an important role as source of the

... information about actual production system aiming model calibration and uncertainty minimization. However, each extra permanently installed sensor increases the well's installation complexity and operational risk. A well-founded understanding of what data is actually needed and what analysis techniques are available to extract the required information are key factors for the success of the IW project. This work proposes a new framework to real-time data analysis through centralizing pre-processing. A numeric IW transient temperature model is developed, tested and validated to generate synthetic data. It was chosen without loss off generality as a representative application to test and validate the "cleansing" and feature extraction algorithms developed. The results achieved are compared with the state of the art ones showing advantages regarding efficiency and potential to capture mutual influence among processes.
