Definition

Specific Production Analysis workflow with basic well & reservoir performance indicators.

Application

• Assess current production performance
  
  
  • current status and possible trends of recovery against expectations
    
    
  • current status and trends of reservoir depletion against expectations
     
  • current status and trends of water flood efficiency against expectations
    
    
  • compare performance of different wells or different groups of wells 
  • first guess of areal distribution of recovery against expectations
    
    
• Identify and prioritise surveillance opportunities
  
  
• First guess on redevelopment opportunities
  
  

Limitations

• fast-track
  
  
• based on the most robust input data
  
  
• does not involve full-field 3D dynamic modelling and associated assumptions

Limitations

PRIME does not pretend to predict pressure and reserves distribution as 3D dynamic model does.

It only provides hints for underperforming wells and sectors which need a further focus.
