UNDERSTANDING COMPLEX FLOWS TO OPTIMISE PRODUCTION

摘要

DIGITALISATION SHOULD DELIVER improved understanding of reservoir behaviour, but a good understanding of multiphase flows and fluid behaviours is necessary too. This is because environmental conditions can cause chemical reactions which reduce production and cause stoppages or the complete loss of the well. A focus on flow assurance is therefore necessary, using expertise and chemicals to mitigate or avoid such phenomenon Production is often escalated by increasing the wells choke size, leading to a significantly larger drawdown at reservoir level.
