Abstract
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.
Claims28
A method for short 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 and the effect of each corresponding action on the one or more selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters or fields on the prediction date using a computer system.
3 more elements
A program carrier device for carrying computer executable instructions for short term oil recovery optimization, the instructions being executable to implement:
- 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 and the effect of each corresponding action on the one or more selected zones, wells, patterns/clusters or fields on the prediction date.
