Field Developement Planning
The successful application of Field Development Planning (FDP) for oil and gas reservoirs requires an accurate understanding of key intrinsic reservoir architectural and field operational drivers that allow the performance prediction under different scenarios.
Integrated Asset Descriptions (IAD), are fit-for-purpose analytical planning tools that originates with the creation of multiple static and dynamic 3D subsurface models that honor the one, two or three dimensional data from well bores, seismic surveys and eventually, outcropping data.
IADs are leveraged by cross-discipline interactions that lead the generated models to fit multi-dimensional reservoir definitions enabling to narrow the many business and operational uncertainties involving reservoir management.
NOVAs staff has worked over many years on improving its streamlined IAD Workflow. This workflow is enabled by the rapid diagnose of field and well behavior parameters based on a detailed analysis and QC of field data base.
Once the reservoir performance key drivers are categorized, 3D static and dynamic models are oriented to contain these uncertainties and future scenarios are forecasted. Possible upside and downside cases are generated to derive the Harmonized Project Portfolio that builds the Best Case Scenario for the asset hydrocarbon recovery.
This approach allows for answers to complicated problems to be expressed under specific operational actions encompassing from the detailed definition of individual completions to detection of operational improvements.
