ReO® ^Popular

Weatherford’s ReO® simulation and optimization software is the most complete and robust tool available for petroleum engineering and production optimization. Offered as part of Weatherford’s Field OfficeTM software suite, ReO software is recognized as one of the preeminent products in the industry.

ReO software provides simulation and optimization solutions for surface networks from wellhead to the processing plant. This application simulates all production system behavior and optimizes production using the operator’s economic model for a significant boost to production while minimizing costs.

Based on state-of-the-art technology in fluid modeling, process simulation, optimization and software design, ReO software provides the most accurate engineering and economic solutions while offering the flexibility engineers need to build complicated network models efficiently. Our unique integrated simulation and optimization approach allows users to handle large and complex networks with ease.

ReO software was developed using integrated technology from Weatherford’s current and future production optimization software solutions. ReO ForecastTM software, a powerful companion program, couples ReO data with subsurface modeling applications such as material balance or reservoir simulators to enable the operator to make accurate production predictions over the life of the asset. ReO software provides unprecedented flexibility and powerful tools that analyze and optimize production and perform business planning in the design, operations and forecast phases. Users of Weatherford’s Field Office suite receive the benefits of ReO software in addition to seamlessly integrated WellFlo® and MatBal® applications.

Typical Applications

• Production facility optimization: Once optimization is complete, field equipment settings are updated for optimal hydrocarbon production. Production gains of up to 5 percent can be achieved through facility optimization without capital expenditure.
• Production system optimization: Increase hydrocarbon production by rerouting fluids to enhance efficiency of the production system based on the capacity of the flowlines.
• Asset-based gas-lift optimization: Maximize hydrocarbon production of gas-lift fields, including injection- and production-system pressure constraints, and allocation of lift gas to wells. A gas-lift-optimization algorithm computes injection rates for each well based on the available injection pressure in the network.
• Production allocation: Translate field-production-rate measurements into individual well and reservoir off-takes essential for asset and reservoir development planning with our sophisticated simulation and reporting functionality.
• Artificial-lift design: Evaluate artificial-lift, gas-lift or electric-submersi
