The oil & gas industry is catching up to automation of traditional workflows practiced in the industry and implementation of artificial intelligence to fasten repetitive tasks. This is driven by the need to automate low-cognitive tasks enabling engineers to spend more time on high-cognitive components of the existing workflows, thus leading up to smarter decisions. This has been made possible by the recent developments and adoption of various analytics and machine learning tools. Well intervention and workover are a routine and important exercise undertaken in the oil and gas industry where the objective is to identify the sick wells and diagnose the right intervention and workover to improve the production. A typical well intervention and workover candidates study includes: Identifying the underperforming wells,Diagnosing these wells and identifying the right workover/ intervention opportunitiesCreating a ranking of the opportunities using a standard approach.Forecasting the gain after workover/interventionRunning economic analysis to identify the candidate based on opportunity's profitability Ujung Pangkah Oil and Gas Field is an offshore field located in Indonesia. The reservoir is a multi-layered carbonate oil and gas reservoir, being produced mostly through horizontal wells. An intelligent solution termed as SWORDS was developed for the Ujung Pangkah field that enables the engineers to be permanently aware of the intervention and workover opportunities. The SWORDS solution is driven by 'Automation & Analytics', where the ranking of the opportunities has been driven by a multi-criteria decision making process leveraging the Petroleum Engineering techniques practiced over decades.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
