Integrated Production Modeling and Optimization
Description
This provides an extensive and practical knowledge for understanding of the concepts and practical applications of full field modelling including reservoir, pipe, and surface network flow simulations. Analysis of the reservoir component is critical for identifying the original resources (STOIIP and GIIP) and understanding the main reservoir driving energies and mechanisms. Additionally, reservoir modelling with material balance analysis can predict full field performance. At the bottomhole terminal, the system must be solved for appropriate operating point using inflow and outflow models. Recently, several inflow and outflow models can be applied based on the field type and the operating conditions. At surface, analysis of the production systems is important for optimizing the field performance and maximizing the revenues. Integrated network modeling offers this opportunity by full system analysis and predict the possible bottlenecks. Accordingly, actions can be applied for optimization and improvement. Network and field performance covers the interactions of wells and pipelines and optimization of oil or gas flowrates subject to constraints. When linked to reservoir models, the network model becomes predictive with time allowing forecasting of production profiles, timing changes of production and injection wells etc.
Integrated Production Modeling (IPM) is essential for optimizing the performance of oil and gas fields. In this course, participants will learn to seamlessly integrate reservoir, well, and surface facility modeling to enhance productivity. Leveraging industry-leading tools—MBAL for reservoir modeling, Prosper for well performance, and GAP for surface facilities—participants will develop a holistic approach to optimize production.
Explain the principles of reservoir fluid composition, properties and modelling.
Explain the principle and limitations of the material balance method and the influence of drive mechanisms on the recovery factor
Build a material balance model for a new oil field development
Evaluate the range of possible inflow and outflow performance relationships for wells.
Applying the nodal analysis to predict well performance and the effect of artificial lift
