Task 5: Long and Short-term Optimisation
Project in the early phase of definition
Possible approach:Quantify Value of reservoir decision using near-real-time dataDefine value of updating the reservoir model at monthly rather than yearly intervalsComparison with yearly update may illustrate reconciliation of short / long term data
Do we need the full-field model or a proxy model?What constraints should be included?
Task 6: Integrating downhole P and T data into well modelling
Zonal Allocation and Real Time Data Analysis of commingled, multi-zone wells:
Pressure data across ICV allocates zonal flow ratesTemperature data refines the calculation of phase behavior and viscosity/density variations in the well
Temperature data across ICV and along the wellboreallocates zonal flow rates and detects (gas) influxesPressure data improves the calculation of fluid behavior in the well
Combining the results from both methods increases the accuracy of the flow rate prediction
•
Flow rate values calculated for each zone based on temperature measurements
•
I-well control system can then be optimized with this information

Task 7:
H-Field A Heavy Oil Reservoir employing ICDs
& AICDs
A high permeability, heterogeneous reservoir19o API Oil gravity Evaluation of the in-house developed optimisation techniques for ICD, AICD & ICV application to enhance multilateral well performance
Task 7:
Other Field Case Studies
Study 1: Application of ICDs
to WAG Injector DesignSufficiently strong ICDs reduce water injectivity misbalance for a 30 - 700 mD permeability contrast for 30 M STB/d water injection & 35 MM SCF/d gas injection
Gas flow through recommended nozzles is sub-critical while pressure drop for water injection exceeds current field experience
Annular isolation (packers) is required near high permeability streaks & zones where fracturing is expected
Study 2: K field (StatoilHydro)Under discussion
Questions being Addressed in HWU IWsT JIP
Are we exploring the data sufficiently to realise
the maximum value from the information?
Are we quantifying their value properly?
