A set of Subsurface Production Operational activities towards execution of Field Development Plan.
The key instrument of WRM is Nodal Analysis which leads to a proper selection of WRM Activities.
The WRM Activities are usually classified by the purpose:
Operational HSE | Production acceleration | Production Cost | Sweep efficiency | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Infill drilling | Production targets | designing & maintaining integrity | designing & maintaining integrity | Increasing (Drilling) | Optimising (Conformance control) | ||||
Infill drilling | Side-tracks | Flow Stimulation | Flow Shut-off | EOR |
The WRM Activities are facilitated by following execution mechanisms:
Subsurface | Surface | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Drilling & Completion | Workovers | Wireline | EOR facilities and procedures |
Prioritizing of WRM Activities is based on technical feasibility and economics, provided by WRM Activity Value @model.
This particularly leads to the following major asset challenges:

There are five major categories in WRM

1. Drilling new well or new side-track
2. Workover on existing wells
3. Changing flowrate on existing wells
4. Changing the temperature and chemical of injection fluid
5. Chaning the surface infrastructure to remove the bottle-neck
This leads to the four major asset challengs:

The answers to these questions are provided by playing the various scenarios over the calibrated full-field flow model.
