... and information from the complete production system are provided to the right users at the right time. This paper presents existing field applications of advanced data validation and reconciliation (DVR) techniques which use all available information and measurements in order to provide reliable and consistent...

... are based on a common, single and widely shared view of the information, that provides a better understanding of ongoing events on each asset. This paper presents TOTAL field examples of Data Validation and Reconciliation (DVR) applied to flow measurement (metering) systems; and the resulting added value...

... physical models of the reservoir, well and surface network, has been successfully used to implement crude blend management in a large Saudi Arabian field, producing from three different reservoirs. The paper also describes how the system is used to automate the validation of well test measurements...

... recognition system was developed to identify and flag problem wells that require immediate remediation. As new production and injection data become available, the system that is linked to the corporate database can automatically display these data for fast and rigorous validation. In addition, a formation...
