Integrated Modeling of the Complex Multilayer Oil, Gas and Condensate Field Development as a Method of the Project Value Increasing

Abstract

The work is devoted to highlighting the experience of creating a full-scale integrated (reservoir – well – infrastructure network) model of gas reservoirs of the large oil, gas and condensate field of Yamal, finding optimal solutions to the problem of both development oil rims, gas caps of productive reservoirs and dry gas reservoirs, as well as the gas injection system on the efficiency of the field development process as a whole. The task included creating, history matching and integration of the hydrodynamic models with surface facility system, the elimination of "bottlenecks" in the gas facility network system and the determination of the optimal solution to the problem of hydrocarbon production (oil production from oil rims and gas production from gas caps and dry gas formations). Conducted integrated calculations allowed us to consistently identify the risks of the project and allowed them to be minimized at the preparatory stage of the project, which leads to an increase in the value of the project.
