... ABSTRACT: The need for computational models including the reservoir, wells, flowlines and process arise from the evidence that production profiles of complex fields cannot be correctly predicted without considering the joint effect of all the above components. Integrated Asset Modelling (IAM...

... system when only one pipeline is available. The new wells may have higher pressure and need to be choked down not to kill the existing wells. The investment in the Tie-in must be evaluated against the new production profile. Fig 3: Extended field 6 Another method for tie-back of single wells is to use...

... design and productivity in terms of duration and cost. A dedicated fault tree approach was deemed useful to focus on the combination of events leading to a potential branch loss and to calculate the associated probability. All uncertainties were then combined with production profiles into a technical...
