How Reliable Is Production Data Analysis

By Margaret Scott


In todays life data has come to be associated with everything and whenever large volumes of multiple sources and several frequency information need to be handled or classifying and coordinating events is required, then Production Data Analysis comes in handy. This analysis is also used in handing out appropriate creation rates to the concerned event. Below article will describe the importance of figures analysis.

Analysis can be separated into two and that is the estimation of reservoir properties from transient flow data and the estimation of reservoir volume from boundary-dominated flow information. It is important to note that legacy creation information may not contain the quality nor the frequency sufficient to produce competent estimates of reservoir properties. When dataset is complete then it is of good quality.

Production is an effective study procedure that entails reasonable reservoir characteristics but it also has its shortcoming among which are for reservoir characterization wellhead and bottom hole information is required and it is not available in mature areas and second PDA toolkit does not accommodate a technique that integrates results from hundreds of individual wells.

There are various methods used in investigation and creation information Analysis PDA is among them, it is very effective when dealing with mature fields that could be quite cumbersome to handle if other analyses were employed, PDA has methods of its own the famous ones being decline curve investigation and type curve investigation which are basically one method categorized in to two.

Deconvolution does not apply in the examination of creation figures for Lower quality/ pressure information but it may provide significant diagnostic value for creation data. Incorrect estimates of the initial reservoir pressure and/or the wrong location of the pressure measurements can also yield significant inconsistencies, then, constant rate pressure response function cannot be solved.

History Matching HM is also a method that is used in creation information breakdown and it is described by using the results of TCM which are area drainage, assumed parameters and bottom hole pressure as a starting point. This is because HM does not include any unique solutions hence using the already known parameters saves on time and there is a high probability for a better match.

Production statistics investigation should be considered as a reliable investigation technique even after the downs within it have been considered as it is one of the few techniques that can comfortably analyze figures from mature fields that are a challenge to deal with. It also uses methods that provide means for mapping reservoir quality throughout the field using creation figures results.

The well completion history is an essential element of the examination process and must always be taken into account particularly for cases of recompletions, well simulations and major workovers. Production and reservoir engineering principles could clash during well simulation. Thus, performing well simulation very early in the completion history will minimize change in reservoir model.
