..., the economic most or maximum efficient rate (MER) is defined as the maximum rate that brings back maximum return to the share holders. In a more practical term, it is seen as the rate that yields the maximum present value on a rim oil asset. The MER is computed for a reserve by simulating various...

... equilibrium at 1813blpd. Thus, the current practice can be adjudged subjective and therefore not physically consistent. Abstract Maximum efficiency rate (MER) is the production rate above which the reservoir recovery (particularly around the well) is endangered thereby eroding lifecycle economic value...

... the paper is presented. Write Publications Manager, SPE; P.O. Box 833836, Richardson, TX 75083·3836 U.S.A. Telex, 730989 SPEDAL. Abstract Environmental protection has played an integral role in the development and operation of the Elk Hills field since production at the maximum efficient rate was authorized...

... characteristics has huge impact on efficient displacement and to minimizes the water coning tendency in the field the recommended stand-off and drawdown for future well therefore the high off take rates could be achieved with no impact on ultimate recovery considering the maximum efficient rate MER allowed...

... 20 yr) past depletion mid-point position, (2) its highly mature exploration status for oil, (3) reliable data are in at hand, and (4) because Germany produces under or close to maximum efficiency rate: It becomes obvious that the handling of the R/P ratio is a useful approach for judging the oil...

... observation wells and production logs. Results of the performance analyses support the model studies conclusion that increased production rates are not detrimental to ultimate production rates are not detrimental to ultimate recovery. Introduction The understanding of the maximum efficient rate (MER...

.... Application Case Study The performance analysis report of a Niger-Delta onshore condensate reservoir, estimated to have a reserve of 99.36Bscf is required. One of the penetrating wells has stop producing, hence the last Well Test (Maximum efficiency rate MER and Bottom Hole Pressure BHP) conducted...

... platform. The production rate capacity of wells in the Gulf of Mexico can be inferred from the U. S. Department of the Interior periodic publication entitled "Approved Maximum Efficient Rates for Reservoirs and Approved Maximum Production Rates for Well Completions April 1, 1980.", etc. The Approved...

... horizontal wells were drilled to effectively optimize recovery from the field. Prior to bringing these wells on-stream, clean-up and Maximum Efficiency Rate (MER) tests were conducted to determine the optimum choke settings, GOR and water cut limits for all wells. An integrated approach encompassing choke...

.... In this model the microeconomic adjustment is viewed in relation to reservoir engineering. The model optimizes the exploitation of an oil or gas reservoir in terms of: Total depletion rate (production capacity, including the aspects of Maximum Efficient Rate) and, Geographical distribution of total...

... review and discussion of conservation efforts by members of the Interstate Oil Compact Commission (IOCC) in 1965, it was found that the concept of MER (Maximum Efficient Rate) was a predominant method of preventing avoidable waste of oil and gas. In 1971 the federal government announced its intention...
