Integrated Production Modelling
GAP-PROPSER-MBAL are fully integrated technologies and GAP provides the integration between the MBAL reservoir elements and surface network.
GAP is used as the master controller to access instances of PROSPER and MBAL. Integration of the well and reservoir elements provides the ability to understand the dynamic interactions of the complete petroleum engineering system. The value of well re-design and well stimulation efforts can easily be evaluated in context of the complete petroleum engineering system.
During a prediction, MBAL passes the evolving reservoir fluids to the GAP well elements. GAP uses the evolving reservoir fluids to capture well stability phenomena during a prediction enabling well contingency planning strategies to be developed.
GAP's scheduling power provides the ability to automatically develop well completion and drilling schedules that are required to meet a given overall flow objective. Drilling queues, work-overs, etc., can automatically be activated based on an objective function being set at any level in a given system.
Predicting measured reality is the ultimate goal of integrated studies and GAP offers a Model Validation utility to interrogate the system response. The model validation utility enables well model performance to be updated based on latest test data ensuring consistent model prediction ability.
