DynaP (Dynamic Potential) is a new generation tool, designed and developed internally in Eni e&p Production department, in order to allow a deeper analysis of the technical downtime (DT), through a new algorithm able to implement a Dynamic Potential of production.
In complex petroleum production systems, the performance of single element is very hard to be evaluated, especially in the oil&gas upstream industry. Moreover, the impact of well behavior is often very difficult to discriminate from the flow assurance or process issues, through the simple production trend analysis.
DynaP is able to identify, day by day, the contribute of Technical Downtime, starting from a well level analysis until to evaluate the influence of reservoir natural decline and the effect of shifted actions/investments.
DynaP's Algorhytm is based on a mobile average, properly modified in order to take into account the impact events affecting production or start up and ramp up contributions. The downtime identification is performed using a five matrix levels; to obtain a flexible device, an additional level can be inserted and customized to provide any required technical focus.
DynaP application results show that:
Technical Downtime is clearly identified, each single event is highlighted and its impact is evaluated;
Downtime analysis can be performed at each level of the asset physical structure;
Compensation effects are identified and equity Downtime is correctly evaluated;
Moreover, a set of KPI has been developed to evaluate production trend and Downtime evolution: analysis results put the basis to perform an economic evaluation in order to define short and middle term series of action to improve asset performance.
