Sweep efficiency | Displacement efficiency | Acceleration | Cost | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Increasing well-reservoir contact | Optimising well-reservoir contact (Conformance control) | Flowrates | Infill drilling | Completion design Completion integrity Lift mechanism | |||
New wells | New laterals | Flow Stimulation | Flow Shut-off | EOR | Flowrates |
The above activities are facilitated by four execution mechanisms:
Subsurface | Surface | ||
---|---|---|---|
Drilling & Completion | Workover & Recompletion | Produiction/injection Rate Optimisation | EOR facilities and procedures |
This leads to the four major asset challenges:
The answers to these questions are provided by playing the various scenarios over the calibrated full-field flow model.
