A specific study in Petroleum Production with a focus on prioritising production development and maintenance procedures based on their expected NPV / PI value.

In its simple form it can be thought as a spreadsheet with production development and maintenance procedures sorted out by a simple descending filter so that highest NPV / PI values are at the top of the list.

Investment Period = 5 years

	Facility	Action	Budget, M$	NPV, M$	PI
1	Oil producer W-12	Drilling	1.0	0.2	60%
2	Water Injector W-04	WSO	0.3
3	Booster Pump BP-12	Installation	0.2
4	Oil producer W-12	BHP
5	Oil producer W-09	Pressure Test	0.01	–	–
6	Water Injector W-04	Production Logging	0.05	–	–

Selection of production development and maintenance procedures is based on either:

available investment budget
NPV threshold
PI threshold

Depending on application (long-term MDP, short-term FDP, routine WRM etc) the Investment Planning metrics and workflow may vary.
