Runs the inflow-outflow calculation for every well in the field on a schedule, instead of for a few wells when someone has time.
Nodal analysis is the standard tool for finding where a well is constrained, and it is typically applied to perhaps five per cent of wells in a year because each model is built by hand.
Well models are generated automatically from the completion database and calibrated against the latest well test, then run field-wide on a schedule. Results identify whether each well is inflow-constrained, tubing-constrained or surface-constrained, which determines whether the answer is a stimulation, a tubing change or a facilities fix.
Automatically generated models are as accurate as the completion database behind them, and completion records in brownfields frequently disagree with what is physically in the well. The system cross-checks the model against the well test and flags wells where the two cannot be reconciled, which is typically ten to twenty per cent of a mature field — and those wells need a records exercise, not a better model.
Cada página de capacidad declara una limitación real. Si un proveedor no puede decirle dónde termina su producto, no le están diciendo la verdad sobre dónde empieza.
Extracts fluid study data from decades of laboratory reports and tunes the equation of state against all of it, not against the one report someone had to hand.
Estimates each well’s oil, water and gas rate continuously from pressure and temperature, between the physical tests.
Reads pressure build-up data, proposes the reservoir model behind it, and flags the tests that are not interpretable.
When a well drops, it names the likely cause — scale, water breakthrough, lift failure, choke or reservoir — instead of only flagging the drop.
Decides how to split a limited supply of lift gas across the wells that want it, to maximise oil rather than gas injected.
