IHS PERFORM

Optimize well and flowline performance through careful analysis and well capacity forecasting

Does your current well performance modeling translate into a higher performing well?

IHS PERFORM® is leading industry software for well performance analysis for oil and gas wells. The software allows users to assess well deliverability, evaluate different completion and artificial lift options, identify liquid loading, and forecast total well capacity. Identify cost effective plans for new wells and optimize existing production.

Design, model and optimize complex well completions

• Create interactive schematics for simple or complex well geometries including deviated or
• multilateral wellbores, multilayered reservoirs and crossflow
• Sensitivity analysis for possible tubing, casing, coiled tubing, velocity string, perforations and gaslift completion options
• Perform single or multiphase flow (gas, oil and/or water) calculations through tubing, annulus, or casing
• Access static or production conditions, advanced temperature gradients and PVT calibration to lab data
• Simulate chokes and heat loss scenarios in the wellbore with tubing and casing

Evaluate well deliverability and predict future well performance

• Many Oil IPR and Gas AOF equations including horizontal specific equations
• Create TPC curves for different scenarios: tubing size change; coiled tubing/velocity strings use; alternative flow paths; artificial lift/compression
• Identify and evaluate operating conditions: liquid loading, erosion, scale, water coning and sand production prediction
• Incorporate advanced completion (near-wellbore) modeling & flow line calculations

Artificial Lift System Design

• Simulate wells with artificial lifts (Gaslift, ESP, and Downhole pumps)
• Evaluate the potential of the well system and identify the optimal artificial lift method
• Combine with IHS SubPUMP to design the ESP system, choose equipment, and simulate performance

Other Features

• Design completions (perforations, gravel pack)
• Valuable for gas, oil, onshore and offshore, injection, unconventional and heavy oil wells
• Down hole pumps modeling
• Multi-language support
• Incorporate completion design calculations such as flux, sand production, skin, acidizing simulation evaluation, coning and cresting
