LongOne of the Subsurface E&P Disciplines, related to long-term analysis of production/injection history and its correlation with bottom-hole pressure measurements and/or formation pressure from well tests.
The key objectives of Production Analysis is to understand the historical flowrate dynamics (and its components water cut Yw and gas-oil-ratio GOR) in the context of Well-Reservoir System (WRS) and predict its future dynamics in response to other dynamic variables.
Unlike Well Tests which normally last for few hours or few weeks, Production AnalysisUnlike well tests which normally take from few hours to few weeks, production analysis usually covers a time period from few months to many years.
Methods
Some properties of Well-Reservoir System (WRS) can be assessed through both Production Analysis or Well Tests (for example, Productivity Index and drainage volume ) and some other properties are specific to either Production Analysis (for example, Watercut Diagnostics ) or Well Tests (for example, skin-factor).
Production Analysis is usually split into the following categories by objectives:
Well Flow Performance (WFM) |
---|
...
and into three categories by the mathematical methodology:
Empirical Production Data Analysis | Statistical Production Data Analysis | Physical Production Data Analysis |
