Artificial-lift technologies are designed to mitigate risk and expand the operating limits of conventional lifting systems. Coupled with an understanding that intelligent control is not exclusive to complex and highly instrumented wells; its application also has the potential to revolutionize production practices in mature and remote fields.
Although it was a sophisticated idea that was not widely accepted when this initiative started, artificial-lift intelligence with real-time production monitoring and surveillance technology is developing vastly worldwide. The deployment of intelligent lifting systems and techniques has been increasing significantly during the past 5 years, which has given rise to complex decision support tools to enable optimisations. Applying real-time production operations with artificial lift intelligence and advanced approaches have shown values of optimizing production, minimizing downtime and deferred oil, and reducing operating costs of producing wells and fields.
Objectives
The workshop will address how artificial-lift technologies and intelligent production systems that enable data acquisition, interpretation, knowledge management, and decision making in real-time for production optimisation have been deployed globally.
With the growing interest in real-time production optimisation, the workshop will help identify key lessons learned and look forward to more successful intelligent production optimisation
Topics
- Lessons learned from world-class operations
- Artificial-lift design concepts, selection criteria, efficiency, challenges, limitation, and requirements
- Real-time application, monitoring, and interaction for integrated production optimisation
- Benchmarking and determining clear and standard performance metrics
Who Should Attend?
Engineers involved in all or any of the following upstream activities will benefit from this workshop:
- Production operations and planning
- Artificial-lift design and planning
- Production surveillance and optimisation
- Reservoir management
