In producing wells, Manara production and reservoir management system and WellWatcher Advisor intelligent completion software's optimization workflow illuminates the behavior of the entire field. The workflow uses acquired data to monitor production trends as they develop in real time, identify the reason a particular well is underperforming, and identify optimal flow control valve settings for all zones in all wells based on the criteria specified (e.g., minimizing water cut or drawdown or producing above bubblepoint). Expected flow rates and zonal pressures are also calculated. With this information you can take corrective actions for each zone as needed to optimize your reservoir drainage strategy and see the results of your actions in real time—from your office. Work that used to take weeks can now be done in just a few minutes.
