Well, Reservoir & Facility Management (WRFM) for Production Teams
Description
WRFM is the framework many operators use to manage producing assets: a continuous cycle of measuring what the wells, reservoir and facilities are doing, comparing it with expectation, identifying gaps and opportunities, and acting on them. It is deliberately integrated, because opportunities are usually missed at the boundaries between disciplines rather than within them.
This course covers the framework and the work inside it. It starts with the WRFM cycle and the data and surveillance foundation it rests on, then covers reservoir management including depletion planning, pressure and sweep monitoring and recovery improvement; well management including performance monitoring, integrity, intervention and workover planning; and facility management including capacity, uptime and constraint management. It then covers opportunity identification and ranking across all three domains, the WRFM plan itself, review and governance processes, roles and accountabilities, competence requirements and the performance measures used to judge whether WRFM is working.
The value of WRFM comes from the cycle rather than from any single activity. Data is collected, performance is compared with expectation, gaps are explained, opportunities are identified, work is executed and the results feed back into the next cycle. Where any step is missing, the cycle breaks: surveillance without review produces reports, review without execution produces frustration, and execution without measurement produces no learning.
Integration is the other principle. A well that cannot produce because of separator pressure is a facility problem appearing as a well problem. A reservoir sweep problem may be solved by a well intervention. A facility debottlenecking project is worth nothing without the wells to fill it. Teams organised strictly by discipline tend to optimise within their own boundary and miss these.
WRFM also needs governance: a plan with named owners, a review calendar, decision rights and a way of tracking actions to closure. Without that, it becomes a label applied to work that was happening anyway. This course covers both the technical content and the process discipline that makes it deliver.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the WRFM cycle and its role in managing producing assets.
- Define the data and surveillance foundation WRFM requires.
- Apply reservoir management practice, including depletion, pressure and sweep monitoring.
- Apply well management practice, including performance monitoring, integrity and intervention planning.
- Apply facility management practice, including capacity, uptime and constraint management.
- Identify opportunities across wells, reservoir and facilities.
- Rank and prioritise opportunities within budget and resource constraints.
- Build a WRFM plan with owners, actions and timelines.
- Run WRFM review meetings and track actions to closure.
- Measure WRFM performance and improve the process.
Organisations sending participants to this training will:
- Manage producing assets through a consistent, repeatable process.
- Find opportunities that fall between disciplines.
- Improve the link between surveillance, planning and execution.
- Improve accountability and action closure.
- Measure and improve asset management performance over time.
Participants will:
- Understand the WRFM cycle and where your work fits in it.
- Be able to build a surveillance and WRFM plan.
- Be able to identify and rank opportunities across domains.
- Be able to run effective WRFM reviews.
- Be able to work effectively across discipline boundaries.
