There are five major categories in WRM
1. Drilling new well or new side-track 2. Workover on existing wells 3. Changing flowrate on existing wells 4. Changing the temperature and chemical of injection fluid 5. Chaning the surface infrastructure to remove the bottle-neck |
This leads to the four major asset challengs:
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 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.
