Processes of our services

Processes of our services

To ensure optimum performance of our services use a proprietary methodology called Productivity Solutions, based in Project Management, with a view to generate ground-surface solutions.

During diagnosis of the wells and engineering solutions we develop the following activities per phase:

  • Phase 1. Display
  • Phase 2. Conceptualization
  • Phase 3. Definition
  • Phase 4. Execution
  • Phase 1: Display

    In this phase we identify preliminarily optimization opportunities that might be in the group of selected wells. To minimize uncertainties regarding the diagnosis and the recommended path with preliminary estimates to generate profit after the work is done we follow these activities:

  • Analyze the properties and characteristics of the sites, maps of iso-properties and calculated variables.
  • Evaluate the performance of variable characteristics of reservoir and production that will be used for preliminary selection of candidate wells.
  • Define areas looking for features of the deposits, productivity rates and remaining reserves.
  • Generate maps of distribution properties and calculated variables, which allow the display of opportunities to improve production at the site.
  • Based on file information of wells, we analyze their integrity to be selected as preliminary candidates.
  • Diagnose faults for different types of work previously performed.
  •  

    The activities for visualize display are:

    1. Evaluation and selection of available data and information about wells and reservoirs. Filling in forms depending on the type of information and load information systems in the suite of applications to be use: Oil Field Manager (OFM), AUTOCAD, EXCEL, WellFlo , PIPESIM, PROSPER, and so on.

    The customer will provide a compilation of existing geoscience information on sites, records of wells, surface facilities that include location and history of drilling, completion and previous work, which will be used for assessment diagnosis and generation of recommendations for the client.

    After gathering the information our specialists Geosciences, Reservoir Engineering, Well Completion and Productivity on wells. They analyze the Information as classified based on: Reservoir, wells, facilities and production Specific history.

     

    Activities are performed as follows:

  • Collect and analyze information from geosciences, reservoir, well files, special tests and histories of production and operational information relevant to the field.
  • Evaluate the quality of data and information available and determine how it can impact the successful realization of the optimization program.
  • Integrating geoscience information software sites and wells with Oil Field Manager (OFM) to serve as support for viewing the site.
  • 2. Overall assessment of the site by using a suite of applications to identify the distribution of the most important parameters of reservoir (lithology, porosity, permeability, net viscosity, natural fractures, etc.). And fluid (saturation density, solubility, compressibility, etc.) which can generate and analyze graphs of iso-complex properties and calculated variables.

    3. Identification of a candidate well with a preliminary diagnosis that includes: conventional reservoir analysis, review of geological and petro-physical information available review the completion of the well and analysis of production history.

    4. Integral nodal analysis including well to well from the drainage area to the head which will diagnose problems typical of formation damage, well connectivity - reservoir operation of artificial lift equipment and bottlenecks in the well completion.

    Phase 2: Conceptualization

    The conceptualization stage is to identify the candidate well and explore the various job options to optimize the candidates. We choose the best alternative that is suited technically and economically to the requirement of the client. We perform the respective conceptual and basic engineering. At this stage the activities include:

  • Analyzing the history of drilling, completion, previous interventions and production statistics and run well to well nodal analysis in order to generate diagnoses and recommendations for each particular case.
  • Designing for each well the solution that best meets the requirements of the client and generate a detailed work program to be executed by a service company.
  • Defining the main features of the rehabilitation team to undertake necessary stimulation or optimization. Evaluate options / alternative technologies that meet the functional requirements of the program.
  • Evaluate options / alternative technologies that meet the functional requirements and operational standards for the wells.
  •  

    Phase 3: Definition

    The Definition phase is based on the results of the previous phases, we select the alternative that generates both value for its technical feasibility and lower uncertainty. This Optimization Program is generated as follows. The activities are:

  • Design of the proposed work detailing each of the activities to be performed sequentially to optimize the candidate well and estimate the time and cost (class II) required to execute the work.
  • Calculate the forecast production (class II) of the wells after reactivated as a result of a balance between the decline of production and potential created.
  • Calculate the gross revenue generated by the additional production wells once reactivated.
  • Perform economic evaluation and risk analysis.
  • Build a portfolio of identified opportunities (to reactivate wells and related economic indicators considering the risk of work).
  •  

    Once the visualization stage is complete we hand over to our customer the following products:

  • Comprehensive Assessment of the Reservoir
  • - Summary of the static model, rock properties and fluid

    - Verification of reserves by the volumetric method probabilistic

    - Graphics iso-properties (f, K, Sw, So, Np, Qo, etc.).

    - Historical information and statistics on production and pressure

    - Areas of the deposits, productivity rates and remaining reserves

    - Distribution of areas according to the "Reservoir Complexity Index"

    - Preliminary selection of candidates for optimizing the wells

     

  • Well Diagnostics
  • - Information of the wells tested (summary of drilling and previous interventions current completion and production history).
    - Functional Requirements (OOIP, remaining reserves, well integrity, degree of difficulty for the optimization work, etc.).
    - Criteria for selection as a candidate well to revive and assessment of potential optimization and rehabilitation work.
    - Selection of candidate wells for optimization.

     

    Upon completion of phases DEFINITION / CONCEPTUALIZATION shall be issued a report to the staff designated for such purposes the following products:

     

    • Work proposed in Wells - Detailed design of the work program of recovery, defined stimulation or fracturing

    - Changes in the well completion and equipment
    - Selection of equipment required for the well intervention
    - Calculating the costs associated with the proposed work

     

    • Additional Information

    - Calculate probability of remaining volume of oil to produce
    - Forecast of production on the economic horizon
    - Economic evaluation and risk analysis


    Phase 4: Execution

    At the site where the work will be executed Midland Oil Tools, together with representatives of the field operator ( owner ) will monitor:

  • Placement of equipment (pumpers, Coiled Tubing, Nitrogen, tanks, wells, test equipment, automation equipment, tool rentals, etc.) required to ensure a good job.
  • Compliance with safety standards at work.
  • Monitoring and decision making in real-time execution of work.
  • Start well or group of wells, as the case demands.
  • Monitoring the correct operation of equipment production and associated behavior.
  • Issue a detailed report of the work analyzing incidents and identifying possible areas for improvement and lessons learned.
  •  

    Quality Control

    The evaluation of the field or group of wells selected by the operator will be executed by Midland Oil Tools applying Project Management methodology to ensure compliance with the objective of creating a portfolio of wells suitable for recovery, quality and expected resources.

    The selection will be done following an established process which is framed in the comprehensive methodology Productivity Solutions. The portfolio of selected wells will be subjected to a strict hierarchy based on estimated contributions of production and profitability this in terms of net present value internal rate of return and investment efficiency of each proposal.
