Title: Integrated Production Model Calibration Applied to a Gulf of Mexico Sub-Sea Field
Paper Number: SPE-128137
Presenter: Luigi Saputelli, Hess
Summary:
Engineers utilize integrated production models (IPM) to understand and optimize asset's performance. This often requires an adequate calibration of model parameters. In this work, a consistent and systematic procedure is presented to assist in the calibration of an IPM under the presence of uncertainties.
The procedure was successfully applied to a Subsea Gulf of Mexico (GOM) field which consists of several reservoirs, wells, sub-sea pipeline network and surface equipment. The approach permitted the evaluation of thousands of IPM scenarios in a few days, which would be impossible to do manually. The calibrated IPM predicted field production rates within 4.2% of the actual performance.
