Abstract
The traditional industry methods and processes used for managing production operations and optimising well performance highlight a significant gap in integrating daily production operations with reservoir management. The consequence can be a reactive production management process that results in deferred production or suboptimal asset performance. This case study illustrates how a real-time well surveillance service was successfully implemented in a mature North Sea oil field, resulting in a significant production performance improvement and increased flexibility and visibility in managing production from the asset.
