Combined liner and matrix system

A method of controlling and monitoring processes in one of a well and a reservoir, comprising:

• providing a combined liner and matrix system including:
• an outer pipe liner to be installed in the one of a well and a reservoir, the outer pipe liner having a first group of openings formed therein so as to be perforated;
• an inner screen;
• and
• a porous matrix between the outer pipe liner and the inner screen, a second group of openings being formed through the porous matrix and the inner screen, each of the second group of openings being larger than each of the first group of openings and larger than a pore size of the porous matrix so that the second group of openings allows free flow of fluid and fine particles having passed through the first group of openings;
• collecting data from the one of a well and a reservoir;
• providing the porous matrix with properties based on the collected data from the one of a well and a reservoir;
• installing the combined liner and matrix system in the one of a well and a reservoir;
• and
• monitoring the one of a well and a reservoir using the properties of the porous matrix so as to control the one of a well and a reservoir.
