In contrary, some studies are so comprehensive that it is expected that most hospitals cannot implement such time consuming interventions (e.g. one study reports 2 hours per patient) [ 21- 23].
The flexibility of down-hole, active flow control allows field development optimisation on a day-by-day basis without costly and time consuming well intervention operations.
Finally, in our opinion, following a time-consuming intervention development process, i.e. IM, instead of choosing a more haphazard approach to intervention design, led to innovations that otherwise would have been missed.
Furthermore, this time-consuming intervention was provided to the employees with a low monetary cost to the workplace (as they were granted money for the implementation of the intervention).

As this user intervention is time consuming, SCaFoS saves the information on selected sequences.
