COURSES

This course is an introduction to IPM (PROSPER, MBAL and GAP) in the context of oil field applications. A series of tutorials and introductory videos will guide you to build up knowledge on the use of the tools.

COURSE OVERVIEW

This course is divided into three main sections. The first part of the course focuses on reservoir modelling. In the second section the construction of well models is explained. Finally, the entire system (reservoir, wells and pipelines) are coupled in a GAP model.

Introduction to the course – PROSPER

RESERVOIR MODELLING

In this section an introduction to the material balance concept is presented and there are tutorials that show the workflow to create, history match and forecast production in MBAL models.

	Introduction to material balance – PROSPER The objective of this tutorial is to introduce the material balance concept for gas fields, Understand the Campbell method and the limitations of the technique. 12m 09s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: T07 Category Tags:		VIEW
	Performing the history matching and predictions for an oil reservoir – MBAL In this tutorial, an oil reservoir is analyzed. The pressure trend is history matched and OOIP is obtained. Then, production forecast is set using well models to evaluate production rates; estimating recovery factor and future Reservoir Pressures. 19m 08s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: M04 • Required Tools: MBAL Category Tags: Getting started Oil material balance History matching Production forecast		VIEW
	Reservoir two model construction review – MBAL An additional reservoir is required in an integrated model. Therefore, in this exercise, a reservoir model is constructed and calibrated. 06m 15s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: M27 • Required Tools: MBAL Category Tags: Oil material balance History matching		VIEW

WELL MODELLING

An introduction to nodal analysis pressure loss in the wellbore and inflow performance relationship is presented. The construction and calibration of two well models consolidate the concept.

	Introduction to production system performance for oil wells – PROSPER The production system performance, or nodal analysis concept is introduced for naturally flowing oil wells. The INFLOW and OUTFLOW concepts are used to explain how the solution of the system can be calculated 05m 46s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: T08 Category Tags:		VIEW
	Inflow Performance models for Oil Wells – PROSPER In this theory tutorial three IPR models are introduced: PI Index, Vogel and Darcy. Calculation methods and hypothesis are discussed for each model. 08m 35s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: T09 Category Tags:		VIEW
	Well 1 Construction – PROSPER In this tutorial well 1 PROSPER model is constructed. This well model will be used through different stages of the oil course. 07m 46s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: P39 • Required Tools: PROSPER Category Tags: Getting started Naturally flowing oil wells		VIEW
	PVT Importance and two-phase flow calculations – PVTP First, the importance of the PVT is introduced, showing the impact of the fluid properties on the pressure drop calculations. Then basic two-phase flow principles are introduced, and the calculation methods using multiphase flow correlations. 10m 31s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: T10 Category Tags:		VIEW
	Well 1 calibration – PROSPER In this tutorial the well 1 previously constructed is calibrated. The calibration begins with the PVT matching, then a multiphase flow correlation is selected and matched and finally the IPR of the well is calibrated using well test data. 19m 11s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: P40 • Required Tools: PROSPER Category Tags: Naturally flowing oil wells Matching		VIEW
	Oil well model calibration review excercise – PROSPER The user must generate the oil well model from scratch, and match it. Then the erosional velocity must be analyzed, and sensibility analysis performed to study how to reduce tubing erosion. Finally the user must generate and export VLP curves. 22m 00s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: P07 • Required Tools: PROSPER Category Tags: Naturally flowing oil wells Flow assurance/ flow-lines Matching		VIEW

SURFACE NETWORK MODELLING

The integration of the reservoir and well models into a common system including the surface network pipelines in GAP is presented. The tutorials in this section will show how to setup a network, solve the network (to obtain the oil production rate and how it is allocated between wells) and perform predictions.

	Introduction to GAP – GAP Brief explanation about GAP, what can be achieved using GAP. 06m 12s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: T05 • Required Tools: GAP Category Tags:		VIEW
	Setting up an oil field integrated production model – GAP This introductory tutorial will guide the user to create and set up a GAP model for an oil field. 16m 37s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: G05 • Required Tools: GAP Category Tags: Getting started Oil Production network		VIEW
	Solving and analyzing an Oil field production network – GAP This video tutorial shows how to solve the network for an oil field, understand the concept of initializing the IPR of the wells at certain point in time. 19m 12s • Version: IPM 11 • Code: G06 • Required Tools: GAP Category Tags: Getting started Oil Production network		VIEW
