tNavigator 14: Wells Data Section

Summary

The video discusses the process of setting up and configuring a simulation model, focusing on well production data, perforation history, and strategies. Key topics include importing and organizing production history and perforation data, handling well structure and strategy tables, and utilizing vertical flow performance (VFP) data. The presenter emphasizes the importance of accurate data input, such as production schedules and strategies, to facilitate the simulation process. The session covers the steps involved in populating and importing well production tables, managing data for multiple wells, and preparing for simulations in a structured manner.

Takeaways

• 😀 NV properties, oil, and water are crucial for relative permeability PVT and equilibration data specifications.
• 😀 Well data, including production history and perforation history, is essential for creating accurate simulation models.
• 😀 The production history must be stored in well production tables, while perforation history should be documented in the perforation history tables.
• 😀 Perforation history can be skipped if the user does not want to group wells, although the tables remain necessary for tracking.
• 😀 The production strategy, such as when to perforate and when to produce, must be provided for proper model design.
• 😀 The schedule letter shows a detailed history of production schedules and strategies for well management.
• 😀 Vertical flow performance (VFP) can be imported from the VP designer or other software to improve model calculations.
• 😀 The VFP data may make calculations longer, so it is recommended to focus on strategies and schedules initially.
• 😀 The well production tables are used to input specific data, such as production dates and values, for each well in the system.
• 😀 Production history can be imported from pre-existing tables, such as from Rezky file formats, using the import function to streamline data entry.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the well production table in the script?

The well production table is used to store production data for each well, helping to organize and track the performance of wells over time.

What data is stored in the well structure table?

The well structure table stores data regarding the perforation history of wells.

Why is it important to provide production history to the model designer?

Providing production history to the model designer is crucial as it helps in creating accurate models for simulations that reflect real-world production scenarios.

What is the role of perforation history in the well production process?

Perforation history provides valuable information about how and where wells have been perforated, influencing production strategies and well performance.

What does the script say about the production strategy?

The production strategy involves determining when and where to produce from a well and setting production limits to control the overall production process.

What is the significance of the vertical flow performance (VFP) in the script?

VFP data helps in understanding the vertical flow characteristics of a well, which can be crucial for optimizing production performance and simulating reservoir behavior.

Why is it not recommended to use VFP data for the simulation at this stage?

The script advises against using VFP data for simulation at this stage because it may lengthen the calculation process, making the model more complex.

How should the well history tables be populated according to the script?

The well history tables should be populated with production data, including information on production rates, gas injection, and other relevant reservoir data.

How can production history be imported into the system?

Production history can be imported by using the 'Import History' function, which allows users to upload production data from a pre-existing table or file.

What format is used for the production history data in the script?

The production history data is stored in a text document format, which can be imported into the system to update the well history table.
