Small oilfield integrated production management model

Abstract

Abstract:In this paper is presented the concept of integrated oil production management model. The model's main objective is to provide more efficient tool for oil production process management in terms of the technological and economical aspects. Integrated oil production management model implies multidisciplinary approach which connects oil reservoir development and production with application of risk analysis. Model's task is to simulate behavior of the whole production system, enabling overcoming the weaknesses of conventional deterministic analysis and significantly enhancing oil production, as well as an investment decision making. In the article is presented shortly the application of integrated oil production management model at the oilfield "K". The ultimate goal was techno-economic analysis of managing production process, i.e. determination of production economic limit based on production history data, decline analysis and operating costs.Key words: oil, production, management, integrated model, decision making Apstrakt: U radu je predstavljen koncept modela integralnog upravljanja proizvodnjom nafte. Glavni cilj modela je da obezbedi efikasniji alat za upravljanje procesom proizvodnje nafte uzimajući u obzir tehnološke i ekonomske aspekte. Integralni model upravljanja podrazumeva multidisciplinarni pristup koji povezuje razvoj ležišta i proizvodnju uz primenu analize rizika. Zadatak modela je da simulira ponašanje kompletnog proizvodnog sistema, uz prevazilaženje slabosti konvencionalne determinističke analize, značajno poveća proizvodnju nafte i donošenje odluka. U radu je prikazana primena inegralnog modela na primeru naftnog polja "K". Cij je bila tehno-ekonomska analiza upravljanja proizvodnim procesom, odnosno određivanje ekonomskog limita proizvodnje baziranog na istorijatu proizvodnje, analizi pada proizvodnje i operativnim troškovima.

Gas-lift wells optimization at the oil field "K"

“…The main objective of the oil production process is to obtain the optimum oil production while operating costs are minimized (Danilović et al, 2016a;Danilović et al, 2016b). During oil production by gas-lift wells, the gas processing and gas compression represent a significant cost.…”

“…In order to reduce costs and enable the maximum oil production rate, it is crucial that the compression pressure and the quantity of injected gas be minimized. Defining the optimum parameters of the gas-lift wells, it can be determined the adequate volume of gas injection (Danilović et al, 2016b).…”
