Integrated Reservoir Management (IRM) work processes enable upstream assets in sustaining production targets through the proper identification of performance improvement opportunities. IRM framework have been established since 2015 to assure quality and consistency in reservoir management best practices.

This paper shows the success cases where such complex management framework was deployed across 19 assets in a short period of time and minimum resources, reaching over 400 users including technical and business level personnel.

It was demonstrated through key examples how IRM helped the assets in (a) shortening learning curves, and hence reducing the total cycle time, resulting in increased productivity, (b) measuring KPI’s that cultivate proper behaviors to integrate the right multi-disciplinary efforts in delivering consistent results and (c) fostering a new culture that continuously challenge status quo with consistency.
