With the dramatic increase in oil prices, oil operators are not only concerned about oil production, but also, they are aiming at the optimum oil production. Optimization of an oil producer is not easy as it might seem to be. Moreover, oil price increase promoted for technology improvement, and set the unconventional techniques of the past to be conventional nowadays. This boom in technology application permitted high margin of investments to optimize wells/fields production, and gave production/reservoir engineers a good hand in obtaining better data for decision making. The most important part of well/field production optimization is identifying candidates, and to recognize potentials we need to have efficient reservoir/production data. Because the whole process starts with formation inflow performance which determines how far we can go with this formation without having production problems such as; water conning, erosion induced by solid production, etc. In this paper we are illustrating the various steps that we have taken to optimize a well producing from naturally fractured carbonate reservoir with active water drive, using a combination of modern technologies in combination with real time production monitoring systems, we were able to double this well production without entraining any problems, in addition capturing pressure transient data which enabled us to manipulate these success story with the rest of the wells in that field. |
