About the Course
< p>This course will discuss practical state-of-the-art techniques for optim izing gas fieldassets\; techniques that are based on the concept o f integrated asset modeling, and
working together through an asset team. Integration of reservoir, well inflow, wellbore,
pipeline, an d compressor models bring together all of the interested parties and allow s for
an integrated optimal solution, rather than different parties working in a vacuum and
arriving at solutions for the separate com ponents that do not fit well. This course goes
beyond standard noda l analysis courses available in the industry, as in this course the
reservoir and facilities components are also incorporated. The instructor s have extensive
industry experience in optimizing gas field assets and using integrated asset modeling
approach for achieving that ob jective. In teaching this course, the instructors plan to: (1)
disc uss how the concept of integrated asset modeling works, (2) present exampl es of
various applications of optimization used to modify existing facilities and increase gas
rates and reserves, (3) give the course attendees some practical and useful problems to
work on, and (4) p rovide each course attendee a workbook containing copies of the
ins tructors’\; PowerPoint presentations, and solutions to the problems.< /p>
Integrated asset modeling is currently a very important skill set i n many major and
independent oil &\; gas companies, as well as i n national oil &\; gas companies around the
world. Integrated as set modeling combines skill sets of all the technical personnel on gas
production asset teams. Many companies utilize this technology over re servoir simulation
approach because answers can be obtained quickly . This speed aspect is extremely
important to those oil &\; gas industry managers who have to make business investment
decisions ra ther quickly for presentation to the upper managements, and be responsible
for those decisions, and don’\;t have the luxury of waiting f or results from more time
consuming methods. Integrated asset model s can be readily updated to manage gas field
performance throughout the life of the field. Integrated asset modeling is now being
comb ined with real-time automation data to monitor daily performance. In the f uture, we
expect that integrated asset modeling will also be marrie d to monitoring CO
2 emission sas the effect of fuel consumption on facilities can easily be inc orporated.
The big advantage of optimizing gas fields through integ rated asset modeling is that the
optimal results are consistent wit h facilities, well, and reservoir constraints, and are thus
more re alistic. Conventional optimization involves isolated studies of facilities and wells,
and reservoirs and wells\; the results of these studies are often inconsistent, and are not in
agreement with the actual p erformance. For example, in one large tight gas field on
which one of the instructors recently worked on, the reservoir engineers generally o ver
predicted the increase in net gas rate from new wells by 20%. T he integrated asset
modeling approach correctly showed that the new wells caused bottle-necks in the
surface facilities, thus yielding a lower net increase in gas rate from new wells, and this
was prec isely what operation and facility engineers had experienced in the field.< /p>
This course is ideally suited for presentation prior to the SPE con ferences, in the United
States, Canada, Latin America, Russia, Asia , Australia, the Middle East, North and West
Africa, and the North Sea regions, where presently there is tremendous interest in
develo ping and optimizing gas fields.
The instructors, seasoned petroleum reservoir engineers and long-time members of the
SPE, offer their extensive experience and expertise in optimizing gas field assets, and
using the integrated asset modeling approach for achieving that object ive. Their extensive
industry experience covers petroleum, reservoi r, simulation, EOR, ECBM, production
and facilities engineering. Th e instructors also have extensive experience in teaching
courses to engineers around the world, and for the SPE.
