COURSE OVERVIEW
This course is 90% practical work where participants will have the opportunity to apply in detail what they have learned in the “Geomodelling, Flow Simulation, Economics & Uncertainty in Field Development Planning” by constructing from scratch, a static and dynamic model of an offshore field which has several reservoirs some with undersaturated oil, others with gas caps.From the constructed static models, participants will learn how to compute in place resources (Oil, Associated gas and free Gas) before moving onto the dynamic part of this course, and simulate flow in the various reservoirs. Based on the drive mechanisms, participants will be expected to test various development scenarios of vertical versus horizontal wells, well placements (producers and injectors) and analyse oil evacuation options (pipeline versus FPSO) as well as different gas handling solutions.
Having determined the optimal Field Development Scenario, students will learn how to estimate Reserves, and run full costings and economics (cashflow model) and determine key Economics metrics (NPV, IRR, etc.) the exercise includes a Risk/ Ranking and a Final Investment Decision (FID). This module runs on PETREL, PETREL RE and ECLIPSE or FRONTSIMS Simulation software (All Schlumberger Products). Students will therefore be expected to have a basic knowledge and familiarity with these applications.
Full dataset, instructions and guidelines are supplied (which the student gets to keep). Each day begins with a 1 hour (maximum) lecture to help the students begin their day’s work and assignment.
