Integrated asset modeling, application of big data, and automation are among the top emerging trends in the oil and gas industry. The value associated with such implementation projects is very closely linked with the efficient use of the project management approach and a robust strategy to handle the technological challenges. This paper puts light on such initiatives implemented in a giant gas field. In this giant gas condensate field, a vast amount of data is generated and monitored on a daily basis. The frequent need to deliver the dynamic production target was driving this project implementation so that a value-driven system can be established while achieving the business KPIs. A phased approach was used to target multiple requirements into business deliverables where the early offline phases provided a robust base for full online integration. This project followed the agile approach focusing on getting insights from multiple stakeholders and domain experts and developing a lesson-learnt repository in all the project phases. The online integration solution is a critical differentiator in the workforce and process efficiency improvement. The multiple technical solution workflows helped in reducing manual efforts and streamlining the methodology in a standardized fashion. In addition, the standard project management practices, such as initializing the phases in a planned manner, followed by an interactive execution, monitoring, and controlling stages, ensured delivering project outcomes in an efficient way. This implementation also established a robust collaborative team effort to identify various different roles and responsibilities for stakeholders. This helped in the end phase when the project sustainability was essential. A strong team base maintained and updated the integrated system while delivering daily well and facility surveillance objectives and KPIs from users ranging from planning, engineering, operation, and management team. A special focus on IT team involvement throughout the project phase led to a successful data integration and diagnostic, as the core of the solution was a data-driven analytical framework integrated with multiple corporate and real-time data sources. In addition, this solution was equipped with various one-of-its-kind solution features such as business intelligence, advanced surveillance, dynamic-reservoir integration, manage-by-exception workflows, intelligence alerts, along with a strong digital framework and data architecture. The unique hybrid and agile project management approach focusing on delivering emerging trends and technologies to end-users in the most efficient way paved the way for achieving asset digitalization and standardization goals.
This paper demonstrates the use of an integrated production optimization platform to determine the well performance for gas condensate wells in a statistical approach to increase the data accuracy for reservoir studies, simulate the field limitations, and provide recommendations for production optimization in a multilayered large carbonate reservoir field. This case involves wells under recycle and natural decline with challenges in the evaluation of well performance where the bulk of the information is available in multiple data sources The first elemental block in establishing the well performance of a gas condensate well is to determine and simulate its fluid behavior. Based on the PVT reports and subsurface fluid studies, compositional PVT models are built and matched with experimental data analyzing representative phase envelop properties and relevant Equation of State (EOS). The next step incorporates the utilization of representative physics-based well models in an integrated system to determine the reservoir and well deliverability. Finally, by applying a detailed statistical approach to the production well test history, models are calibrated in order to predict the performance of the gas condensate wells. Tuning of compositional PVT models established the EOS to be incorporated in predicting the fluid behavior and integrating representative PVT models with well models to determine such behavior along the fluid path. Using the statistical approach, the poor well measurements were identified, facilitating the well-performance and deliverability calculation. In addition, the use of representative models helped in increasing the accuracy of identifying well performance. During this study, two different methodologies were identified based on the reservoir management guidelines. Firstly, for the recycle reservoir in which, the decline of reservoir pressure is arrested using gas Injection. Secondly, for the depletion reservoir, in which the reservoir pressure declines rapidly. For the recycle reservoir, it was statistically identified that the reservoir pressure was declining at less than 4%. Therefore, the acceptance criteria for the operating envelope for each well was defined using the reservoir decline of less than 4%. Similarly, for the depletion reservoir, the pressure was declining between 7% and 10%. Thus, the operating envelope's acceptance criteria were defined using the max reservoir decline tolerance of 10%. The above-identified criteria were incorporated into the integrated model framework to validate the well performance generated from the well tests. Implementing this specialized engineering approach in an integrated model framework considerably reduces the time required by engineers to validate the production well tests and provides higher levels of accuracy for production optimization, voidage replacement ratio calculation, daily rate estimation, and surveillance.
Digital oil fields have seen major advancements over the past ten years, with the goal of integrating and optimizing the loops of production operation, production optimization, well and reservoir surveillance based on real-time data and model-based workflow automation capabilities. This paper discusses how ADNOC onshore has successfully implemented model-based digital oil field workflows in all its producing fields and describes the process of migrating these workflows to a data-driven platform for improved decision making. In the existing workflows, data-driven diagnostic analytics are applied to validate well performance and accelerate the process of identifying underperforming wells and inefficiencies. These data-driven diagnostic analytics were implemented on a digital oilfield workflow platform where data is aggregated from disparate data sources consisting of non-real time well data, well events, well test history, MPFM, interpreted PTA, reservoir simulation, well integrity and wells tie-in data, along with continuous real-time sensor and model-generated data. The analytics are mapped with workflows and asset hierarchy. The linear regression method is used to forecast trends for water cut and GOR based on historical data. Diagnostic analytics have been successfully configured for a giant onshore field having more than a thousand wells and multiple reservoirs. The alarm diagnostic map is generated based on tolerance and difference with exceptions. The solution framework has a common data abstraction layer and integration. A built-in visualization engine allows customization based on user preferences, linking multiple screens and analytics. Well test validations are improved for non-instrumented wells by using diagnostic based on more than 10 years of well test history. Well level allocation analytics allow comparisons between real-time export meter and terminal figures at the same timestamp, based on well models. For model calibration, wellhead pressure estimation from the last valid model was introduced. Well surveillance and management diagnostic analyze wells which are operating on critical/sub-critical condition and increasing water cut based on models and measured data. The combination of reservoir simulation data, PTA, bottom-hole surveys and estimated data from well models provides insights to validate quality of simulation data and reduce uncertainty in well models. Compartment and reservoir-wise VRR diagnostic enable asset operators to take faster remedial actions for reservoir performance management. These analytics complemented traditional model-based automated workflows for identifying wells for optimization. A digital oilfield solution platform has been leveraged to implement diagnostic analytics in the first phase and to provide a road map to migrate it to next-generation data-driven platform that has more predictive capabilities. This paper discusses solutions and data integration frameworks, analytics visualization, integration with model-based workflows, value cases and the road map ahead.
