Workflow

...



  1. Check the current production rate against the production target from FDP

  2. If the diffference is big enough to justify the cost of production optimization (see point 8 below) then proceed to the step 3 below

  3. Assess formation pressure based on well tests

  4. Simulate IPR/OPR based on the current WOR/GOR

  5. Calculate the stabilized flow bottom-hole pressure

  6. Gather the current bottom-hole pressure

    • adjusting the choke at surface

    • adjusting the pump settings from surface 

    • changing the pump depth

    • changing the tubing size
