A set of Subsurface Production Operational activities towards execution of Field Development Plan and
| Operational Safety | Production acceleration | Production Cost | Sweep efficiency | Displacement efficiency | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flowrates | Infill drilling | Completion\Lift design & integrity | Increasing well-reservoir contact | Optimising well-reservoir contact (Conformance control) | ||||
| New wells | Side-tracks | Flow Stimulation | Flow Shut-off | EOR | ||||
The above activities are facilitated by four execution mechanisms:
| Subsurface | Surface | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Drilling & Completion | Workovers | Production/injection Rate Optimisation | EOR flooding 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.
