... Hydraulic fracturing optimisation for tight sandstone requires a reliable geomechanical model in the reservoirs and bounding formations to achieve a desired hydraulic fracture geometry (height, width and length) and optimum production recovery post fracturing. The objective of this study was to validate...

With the introduction of the Integrated Production Monitoring and Optimisation System (IPMOS) tool, the Pan-BSP...

... Another optimisation strategy, efficient gradient-based optimisation methods that expedite gradient calculations by solving adjoint equations implicitly have also been investigated ( Forouzanfar 2010 , Zandvliet 2008 ). The gradient-based methods also require a large number of iterations...

... performance on a zone-by-zone basis. Quantifying performance allows management of flux through downhole sand control systems and optimisation of offtake strategy. The majority of the material published to date on "smart" wells has been focused on completion design optimisation and minimisation of unwanted oil...

... Abstract Value Creation can be achieved through FDP optimisation initiative for offshore fields that have been impacted by recent slump in activities and investments in the Oil and Gas industry. Each stage of the FDP process can be reviewed and respective value and cost target be revised...

...) wells. Further optimisation of pump capacity was achieved by lowering down the gas throughput. This is done by using routine well testing to select optimum well candidates with lower totat output gas (formation gas plus injected gas) and flowing tubing head pressure (FTHP). Currently, MBP with optimum...

... screening, continuity laboratory test, and field optimisation. The screening including the selection of liquid loaded wells & laboratory test (foam test, pH, and salinity test) were corrected with the actual temperature to obtain an accurate foam performance. Correlation is generated to correct...

... Abstract Assisted history matching (AHM) can be approached either by single objective (SO) or multi-objective (MO) optimisation. AHM generates multiple matched-models, which are then used to quantify uncertainty of the forecast. The goals in this framework are not only to produce matched-models...

... Abstract Producing tight oil reservoirs by hydraulic fracturing is especially challenging due to relatively low oil mobility. At the planning stage, an integrated approach is essential to optimise fracture parameters using a reliable geomechanical model and reliable reservoir simulations...

.... The process generates a number of probable property maps, which can then imported into a static model to guide the property model for a full-field History-match iteration, but also allows to rapidly provide insight relative to infill drilling and production optimisation. The Problem Statement History...

These should be systematically evaluated and optimised by identifying the well density beyond which the incremental recovery and commerciality benefit begins to erode due to the extra well costs and/or interference between wells. A method for efficient analysis and comparison...
