Wells
This module has the following functionalities:
1. Filter Well List
Allows you to filter wells based on differents criteria:
-
Search Wells/ UWI: To filter by well name or unique well identifier.
-
Filter on Group: To filter wells based on user-created groups.
-
Filtering Criteria: To filter wells based on a condition that a variable meets.
- Variable: Can be selected from a drop-down list, includes variables related to main well information & inputs, reservoir properties, completion metrics and well location information.
- Condition: The following conditions can be selected from a drop-down list: equal to (=), less than (<), greater than (>), less than or equal to (), greater than or equal to (), not equal to () and case-sensitive text filtering on a string variable (in). For more specific filtering, you can add multiple conditions that will be combined using AND logic.
- Value: The value associated with the condition.
-
Well Name / UWI List: There are two filtering options. You can copy and paste a list of wells in a table format (the table will automatically expand to fit the data). Alternatively, you can copy and paste a list of wells as text, separated by commas.
RESET ALL to remove all filters and see all the wells in the project.
Remember
- Activating a filter applies it consistently across all modules.
- The filter symbol turns blue to indicate that there is a filter applied to the project.
2. Sort Well List
First-order sorting involves sorting wells based on a single column or criterion.
Second-order sorting involves sorting wells based on two or more columns simultaneously.
The software first sorts the wells based on the primary sorting column. This establishes the overall order for most of the data. If there are rows with duplicate values in the primary column, the software then performs a secondary sort on those rows only.
RESET ALL to remove all sorting criteria.
3. Run
For a bulk run of a process, select the wells and clicking "Run" will then display all the processes that can be selected for bulk execution.
4. Delete
Select the wells you want to delete from the project. Click "Delete" to confirm permanent removal.
5. Move
Select the well(s) you want to move from the project. Click "Move" and choose a destination field for the moved well(s). You can either move them to an existing project (in this case, select the name of the project from the display list) or create a new project.
Remember moving a well will remove the well from the source project!
Is "Replace Existing Wells" is toggle on wells with the same name in the destination project will be replaced by the wells from the source project. If the toggle is off, wells with the same name will be skipped (not moved).
6. Copy
Select the well(s) you want to copy from the project. Click "Copy" and choose a destination field for the copied well(s). You can either copy them to an existing project (in this case, select the name of the project from the display list) or create a new project. Add a suffix to the well name and UWI, this suffix will be append to each copied well.
When a well is copied, only the "Main" scenario will be copied.
6.1. Copy Well with Data Link
Option to link data (production data and/or wellbore data) to the source well.
- Checked: the data will be linked to the source well, the linked data is identical to the source well and can only be edited in the source well, not in the linked entity. This is to avoid having to update the data two places.
- Uncheck: the data will be copied, not linked to the source well, allowing for independent editing of the copied data.
6.2 How to copy a well and a specific scenario
There is an option for copying a well and selecting a different scenario from the main one.
-
Click three dots next to well you'd like to copy a scenario from. Click 'Copy well'.
-
Pick the scenario you'd like to copy to another project and the project name, then Save.
-
In the other project, you'll find the well with the copied scenario named as "Main".
7. Group
Create groups
Select the well(s) and create a group tag based on the desired criteria.
Removing multiple wells from groups
8. Create Pseudo Well
Several wells can be combined into a "pseudo well," as outlined by Thompson et al. (2023), where rates and bottomhole pressures are merged into one composite well.
Rates are summed for each stream and each data point.
Bottomhole pressures are aggregated based on the proportion of total mass produced by the well, i.e., a mass rate-weighted bottomhole pressure.
Prior to utilizing this functionality, ensure that the individual well PVT and bottomhole pressures are defined. Additionally, verify that the flowing material balance feature has been executed for each individual well.
9. Add Well
To add a new well, provide the well name and the unique well identifier.
10. Attributes
Coming soon...
11. Edit All
For a bulk edit, select the wells and clicking "Edit All" will then display all the processes and relevant parameters that can be selected for bulk edition in one view.
11.1 Well, reservoir & completion
Mass well edit: This table has all the well data, reservoir properties, completion metrics, and custom attributes associated with each well. This information can be edited manually within the table or bulk edited by copying and pasting information from Excel. Also available is the option to add "Custom Attributes".
11.2 DCA
- Forecast: Option to bulk edit DCA Forecast information for all selected wells:
If this information is modified, it will edit the forecast information for the “Decline Curve Analysis” module. To modify forecast information for the “Auto-Forecast” module, toggle on "Edit All Auto-Forecasts in project". To modify forecast information for the “Type wells” module, toggle on “Edit All Type Wells in project”.
11.3 PVT
- Edit PVT Inputs: This Category involves editing the PVT properties for each well independently and explicitly.
- Set GOR based on Production Data: In this category editing is performed based on mathematical rules applied to production data for multiples wells. This could involve methods such as averaging or using the median to derive a representative value for the entire group of wells.
11.4 BHP
- BHP Correlation to Use: This involves bulk editing the 'BHP Correlation to Use' for all selected wells.
- BHP Tunning Input: Edit the 'BHP Tuning Input' parameters for the correlations of all selected wells.
- Critical Rate Depth to Use: Set the 'Critical Rate Depth' to be used in calculations for all selected wells.
11.5 Flowing Material Balance
Select the 'FMB Type' to be applied for all selected wells. The available options are Gas and Multiphase.
11.6 Classical RTA
- Time Function: Edit the 'Time Function' to be used in Classical RTA calculations for the selected wells.
- Phase: Edit the 'Phase' to be used in Classical RTA calculations for the selected wells.
- Lock/Unlock Intercept: Lock or unlock intercept at origen in Square Root of Time Plot for all selected wells.
11.7 Fractional RTA
- Time Function: Edit the 'Time Function' to be used in Fractional RTA calculations for the selected wells.
- Phase: Edit the 'Phase' to be used in Fractional RTA calculations for the selected wells.
11.8 Numerical RTA
- Input: Bulk edit reservoir properties, matrix & fracture relative permeability for the all the wells.
- Weight Factors: Bulk edit default weight factors (cumulative & instantaneous) for oil, gas, water, & GOR on selected wells.
11.9 Numerical Model Input
Bulk edit reservoir properties, matrix & fracture relative permeability for the all the wells.
11.10 Simple Material Balance
Edit Simple Material Balance Inputs (abandonment pressure and cumulative production FOR) for the selected wells.
11.12 Scenarios
You can now "mass edit" scenarios at the project level, allowing you to change the name, owner, access type (private/company wide), and also mass delete scenarios.
Additionally, we have added an option to specify the access type when creating a new scenario. Once you set the access type, it will remember your preference for future scenario creations.
