The above activities are facilitated by four execution mechanisms: 

SubsurfaceSurface
Drilling & CompletionWorkover & Recompletion

Production/injection Rate Optimisation

EOR flooding facilities and procedures




This leads to the four major asset challenges:


 1. Where to drill the new well or side-track and how to complete it ?


2. Which wells to workover and how ?


3. Which wells to change the flow rate and whether increase or decrease ?


4. What fluid and at what time to inject ?


6. If there is a bottle neck in surface infrastructure and whether it needs update ?


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