Introduction To Software Modules

The OFM software allows organization-wide implementation of engineering workflow standards and supports collaboration between technical disciplines through open integration. It improves productivity by streamlining data transfer between simulation models, production data, economic evaluations, and other tools. The PIPESIM software performs various flow assurance applications like pipeline and facility sizing, well performance optimization, liquids management, integrity assessment, and solids management. It models multiphase flow and helps identify operational risks. MBAL is a reservoir engineering tool that uses material balance calculations, decline curve analysis, and modeling to better define reservoirs and forecast well and reservoir performance.

Introduction to Software Modules

OFM Schlumberger

Data consolidation to workflow standardization


The OFM software allows organization-wide implementation of engineering workflow standards,
supporting corporate and personal workflow solutions for any size of asset. By leveraging this
standardization, basic or complex analyses can be performed for individual or multiple
completions, groups of wells, an entire field, or several fields. OFM software supports rapid,
scalable deployments from single assets to enterprise-wide rollouts for multiple assets and
locations.

Connecting multiple disciplines through openness


The OFM software improves productivity by driving collaboration between technical disciplines.
Improved integration streamlines two-way data transfer between the software and

 simulation models to share results from your shared earth model (via the OFM software plug-in
for the Petrel E&P software platform)
 production volumes, operations data, and field event history (via the Avocet production
operations software platform)
 project-economic evaluations and forecasts (via the OFM software plug-in for Merak Peep)
 any user-customized plug-in.

PIPESIM Schlumberger
Typical flow assurance applications:

Pipeline and facility sizing

 Size pipelines to minimize backpressure while maintaining stable flow within the maximum
allowable operating pressure (MAOP)
 Size pumps, compressors, and multiphase boosters to meet target rates
 Examine system-design layout options and operating parameters for a range of inputs
 Size separation equipment and slug catchers to manage liquids associated with pigging, ramp-up
surges, and hydrodynamic slugging volumes
 Design and optimize pipelines and equipment such as pumps, compressors, and multiphase
boosters to maximize production and capital investment
Well performance

 Perform nodal analysis and diagnose liquid loading or lift requirements


 Design artificial lift systems (e.g., rod pumps, progressing cavity pumps, ESPs, and gas lift) and
compare their relative benefits
 Optimize production through intelligent completions by modeling downhole flow control valves
or other downhole equipment, such as chokes, subsurface safety valves, separators, and
chemical injectors
 Optimize the completion design by considering skin effects on horizontal well length and tubing
or casing size
 Model multilaterals or wells with multiple layers and crossflow

Liquids managements

 Identify the risk for severe riser slugging


 Account for emulsion formation
 Assess the operational risk from the deposition of wax along flowlines over time

Integrity

 Identify locations prone to corrosion and predict CO2 corrosion rates


 Model erosion using the API 14E and Salama methods
 Manage pipeline integrity with erosion and corrosion prediction
 Accurately characterize fluid behavior with a wide variety of black-oil and compositional fluid
models

Solids management

 Identify the risks of potential solids formation including wax, hydrates, asphaltenes, and scales
 Assess the risk from deposition of wax along flowlines over time
 Determine the amount of methanol to inject to avoid hydrate formation
 Calculate optimal burial depth and insulation requirements for pipelines

MBAL (IPM)
MBAL
Efficient reservoir development requires a good understanding of reservoir and production
systems. MBAL helps the engineer better define reservoir drive mechanisms and hydrocarbon
volumes. This is a prerequisite for reliable simulation studies. MBAL is commonly used for
modelling the dynamic reservoir effects prior to building a numerical simulator model.
MBAL contains the classical reservoir engineering tool and has redefined the use of Material
Balance in modern reservoir engineering.
For existing reservoirs, MBAL provides extensive matching facilities. Realistic production
profiles can be run for reservoirs with or without history matching.
MBAL is an intuitive program with a logical structure that enables the reservoir engineer to
develop reliable reservoir models quickly.
Reservoir Engineering Tool

 Material Balance
 Monte Carlo Simulator
 Decline Curve Analysis
 1D model
 Multi-Layer
 Tight Gas

Material Balance
This incorporates the classical use of Material Balance calculations for history matching through
graphical methods (like Havlena-Odeh, Campbell, Cole etc.). Detailed PVT models can be
constructed (both black oil and compositional) for oils, gases and condensates.
Furthermore, predictions can be made with or without well models and using relative
permeabilities to predict the amount of associated phase productions.

 Multi Tank Variable PVT with Depth


 Determine Components of Reservoir Energy
 Visualise the Parameters that Impact Performance

Forecast Well and Reservoir Performance

 Forecast Using Rate Schedule or Well and manifold pressure schedule


 Set well and global constraints:
 At well and field level
 Determine when wells will water out
 Forecast pressure decline, producing GOR
 The long term effects of completion decisions on compression, gas/water injection, gas recycling

PVT

 Black oil
 Fully Compositional
 Compositional Tracking
