The Stampede deepwater field is located in the Gulf of Mexico, Green Canyon block, and consists ofrnapproximately 3,500 ft of water. The Stampede project will include 10 in-service wells in a Miocenernformation for a reservoir system at 28,000 – 31,000 ft. TVD. This unique reservoir has deep wells, a lowrngas-to-oil ratio, and a low bubble point, a combination that calls for an in-well gas lift injection design.rnThe Stampede project team identified dynamic simulation as a validation tool during the early designrnphase. High-fidelity fully compositional models were developed for Subsea to simulate heat-transfer effectsrnin the well annulus to understand the interaction between production fluid and gas lift injection for variousrnstartup cases. After the simulation model was in place and in use, the project team identified the need torncontinue using the topsides and subsea integrated simulation models to validate additional phases in processrndesign and engineering. We developed a multi-purpose dynamic simulator (MPDS) that proved to be arncrucial tool for Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) validation, Operations training and control systemrncheckout.
