DE1046 : Oil Well Modelling with Prosper

Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Prosper modelling. It covers the production system concepts, data measurement quality, units and datums, oilfield units, conversion factors and prefixes in common use; the reservoir fluid properties and composition including PVT correlations and matching and wellbore fluids sampling; the reservoir fluids measurements (PVT analysis), fluid property correlations, inflow performance concepts, productivity index (PI) and Darcy’s law; and the productivity index (PI), pressure distribution in the reservoir, radial flow IPR and skin.

 

Further, the course will also discuss the radial inflow performance equation, two phase inflow performance, skin components and outflow performance concepts; the components of wellbore pressure loss and friction in the wellbore estimates and calculation; the velocity and slip in the wellbore as well as holdup and slip; the effect of flow distribution on slip; the pressure loss in the wellbore flow correlations; and how does PWF change with flowrate.

 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the recommended variables when generating VLP’s for simulators; the pressure loss at surface and the components of surface pressure loss and rate of change of WHP; the choke performance and surface flow correlation comparison; and the nodal analysis plot interpretation.
