Definition
Primary Production Analysis is the specific workflow and report template on Primary Well & Reservoir Performance Indicators.
Application
- assess current production distribution
- assess current distribution of recovery against expectations
- assess current status and trends of recovery against expectations
- assess current status and trends of reservoir depletion against expectations
- assess current status and trends of water flood efficiency against expectations
- quantitatively compare performance of different wells or different groups of wells
- identify and prioritize redevelopment opportunities
Technology
Primary Production Analysis is built around production data against material balance and require current FDP volumetrics, PVT and SCAL models.
It includes well-by-well diagnostics and gross field diagnostics, but may be extended to sector-by-sector diagnostics.
Metrics
PRIME includes the following metrics:
Metric name | Diagnostic plots | Objectives | ||||||||
