Data Types
Data type that changes over time during operating activities
What are dynamic data?
These pressure data aid in understanding differential depletion across a field and are collected while drilling
What is Formation Pressure While Drilling (FPWD)?
This step in the reservoir modeling process uses production, pressure, and other data to align with our observed data
What is history matching?
The number of scenarios created when uncertainty is high(er)
What is multiple?
These data monitor saturation and sweep efficiency. Integrated with the pressure and interference data at Liza in yesterday's example.
What is 4D seismic?
List two common types of pressure data gathered from an existing wellbore
What are well head, surface, tubing, and/or bottom hole pressure?
When your observed field pressure is different than your modeled pressure, these are possible reasons
What are aquifer support, injection support, and/or baffles?
This activity or behavior leads to a more collaborative and efficient work environment
What is communication/communicating?
This tool measures fluid velocity and temperature, usually in a cased hole
What is production logging tool (PLT)?
Original reservoir pressure minus current reservoir pressure
What is depletion?
Important outcomes of a good history match
What is more accurate prediction/forecasting, informing business decisions, and/or better reserves estimates?
Reservoir Management is not synonymous with this activity
What is Reservoir Engineering?
Data type that does not change over time
What are static data?
This type of test involves monitoring the pressure response of one or more wells while another well is operating
What is an interference test?
The iterative process of static and dynamic modeling generally occurs between these two disciplines
What are geoscientists and reservoir engineers?
Rick Wachtman - With every mistake, we should ask ourselves "what's the _______"
What is the "opportunity"?
