Systems and Methods for Subsurface Oil Recovery Optimization

摘要

Systems and methods for subsurface secondary and/or tertiary oil recovery optimization based on either a short term, medium term or long term optimization analysis of selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters and/or fields.

主权项

1. A method for medium term oil recovery optimization, which comprises:
selecting one or more zones, wells, patterns/clusters or fields; displaying multiple optimization scenarios and corresponding actions for optimization of the one or more selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters or fields; selecting one or more of the optimization scenarios and displaying each corresponding action; selecting a prediction date for each selected optimization scenario; and displaying the one or more selected optimization scenarios, the effect of each corresponding action on the one or more selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters or fields on the prediction date, and an updated field development plan using a computer system, the updated field development plan being displayed for a field with a respective net present value calculation and projected production parameters.
