Gas blend optimizer

A system for gas blend optimization, the system comprising:

• an analytical module equipped to obtain well data from a plurality of wells in a geographical region of interest;
• and
• one or more computer processors and a non-transitory computer-readable medium having executable instructions encoded thereon such that when executed, the one or more computer processors perform operations of:
• obtaining a target rate for one or more parameters of interest in a desired gas blend;
• obtaining data related to the one or more parameters of interest for each well;
• based on the obtained data, determining an effect of each well's contribution to the one or more parameters of interest in a total gas produced at a gas processing facility, wherein the gas processing facility is configured to process gas collected from the plurality of wells;
• based on the identified effect of each well, selecting a list of wells from the plurality of wells;
• and
• optimizing the one or more parameters of interest in the total gas produced by determining an adjusted well gas rate for each of the wells in the list of wells until the assigned target rate is met.

A computer readable program for gas blend optimization, the computer readable program comprising:

• computer-readable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by a computer having one or more computer processors for causing the one or more computer processors to perform operations of:
• obtaining a target rate for one or more parameters of interest in a desired gas blend;
• obtaining data related to the one or more parameters of interest for each well of a plurality of wells within a geographical region of interest;
• based on the obtained data, determining an effect of each well's contribution to the one or more parameters of interest in a total gas produced at a gas processing facility, wherein the gas processing facility is configured to process the gas collected from the plurality of wells;
• based on the identified effect of each well, selecting a list of wells in the plurality of wells;
• and
• optimizing the one or more parameters of interest in the total gas produced by determining an adjusted well gas rate for each of the wells in the list of wells until the assigned target rate is met.
