Wellbore Heating Study

A wellbore heating study was commissioned to iProdTech by a global E& P company for an onshore field development in East Africa. The reservoir fluid has a high wax content with relatively high wax appearance and pour point temperatures which are expected to cause flow assurance issues. Electric downhole heating and hot water circulation was utilised during extended well tests in appraisal wells to maintain flow at surface and prevent the oil solidifying when the wells were shut in. Current plans envisage multi-well pads to be used to drill development wells. In order to progress into the Full Field Development, iProdTech services were utilised to help understand the effect of various heat retention and/or heat addition methods…

Integrated Asset Model Upgrade

A Petroleum Experts’ RESOLVE model coupling the Reservoir (Eclipse) and Wells / Network models (PROSPER/GAP) was built by iProdTech in 2011 for a deepwater oil field. The operator has requested for updates to this model to incorporate changes to the well, network and reservoir models. This model will be used for long-term production forecasting and field development planning. Some of the new wells have intelligent completions with inflow control valves…
