A set of Subsurface Production Operational activities towards execution of Field Development Plan.
The key instrument of WRM is Nodal Analysis which leads to a proper selection of WRM activities.
The WRM activities are usually classified by the purpose:
Operational HSE | Production acceleration | Production Cost | Sweep efficiency | ||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Infill drilling | Production targets | designing & maintaining integrity | designing & maintaining integrity | Increasing (Drilling) | Optimising (Conformance control) | ||||
Infill drilling | Side-tracks | Flow Stimulation | Flow Shut-off | EOR |
The WRM activities are facilitated by four execution mechanisms:
Subsurface | Surface | ||
---|---|---|---|
Drilling & Completion | Workovers | 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.
