Topic: Petroleum Production Engineering, Well Modeling and Optimization(December Batch)

OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION OPTIMIZATION
NODAL ANALYSIS APPLICATION USING PERFORM

OBJECTIVES
The Nodal Analysis approach for optimizing production allows the determination of the producing capacity for any combination of equipment. The effect of changing any component on the total well performance can be easily determined. Some of the useful applications of nodal analysis include:
i. Selecting tubing and flow line sizes
ii. To determine flow rate at which an existing well will produce considering well bore geometry and completion limitations (first by natural flow)
iii. The effect of gravel pack permeability
iv. To evaluate the effect of altering Skin on well productivity
v. To determine under what conditions (which may be related to time) a well will load or die.
vi. To select the most economical time for the installation of artificial lift and to assist in the selection of optimum lift method (Artificial lift design)
vii. Analyze an existing system for abnormal flow restrictions
viii. Analyze the effect of perforating density
ix. To optimize the system to produce the objective flow rate
x. To permit quick recognition of ways to increase production rate
xi. Predicting the effects of depletion on producing capacity

Completion Effects (Skin, Gravel pack) etc



METHODOLOGY
Production Process Simulation
Essentially, the production process optimization involves the conventional stages of model characterization, model calibration/Initialization, History Matching, Predictions and Forecasting.
Production Process Simulation involves the mimicking of the actual production process using a computer model to approximate offset well (for new well) or existing well performance. Once the model has been characterized, calibrated and initialized and a base case scenario established; where the observed data matches with the calculated data or the model (within the 0.05% tolerable confidence level), the well can be designed, redesigned and future performance predicted, we can also solve any “what if “ scenario by conducting sensitivity study.
