Popis: The trends of the last decades show that the leading Russian and international oil & gas companies come to a concept of integrated design technology when forming the prospective development programs. Such approach, contrary to the conventional one, allows efficient planning of the asset development with account of its components interference (reservoir, well, surface facilities, economics, license obligations etc.). The main purpose of integrated design is to ensure comprehensive smart and efficient asset management. The expected results from the application of such approach are: Comprehensive representation of production, gathering, transportation and treatment systems;Making of optimal asset development strategy (short-, medium- and long-term programs);Production and operation processes optimization;Efficient engineering solutions;Minimization of CAPEX and OPEX;Multi-level economic evaluation (from well to asset levels);Minimization of risks and uncertainties. In 2014 JSC Zarubezhneft initiated the development of integrated design technology with the multiple strategic interests of the company with own efforts to achieve the abovementioned results. As a result, a concept of integrated design technology was formed and a software tool for making integrated models was developed. The concept and softwaretool are the basis for solution of production and investment tasks. The peculiarity of the approach is its universal nature, applicability to the projects at various development stages (exploration, greenfield, brownfield) and with various detailed specification degree depending on the available information.
