Profile

Profile was developed from ideas, experience, spreadsheets and manuals, over the years, for today’s Petroleum Engineers to quickly develop consistent, reliable and model independent hydrocarbon and associated production profiles

The application is intended for Petroleum Reservoir Engineers to :

• Quickly prepare and analyze primary and associated production profiles.
• Compare to analogue fields for well spacing, recovery/well, plateau offtake rates, decline rates,
• Quick-look sizing for facilities throughput capacity for all production and injection streams.

The assumptions behind Profile are based on the various phases of production life of an oil or gas field, ie,. a buildup period, a plateau period and a decline period.

Primary Hydrocarbon Stream

Two different approaches for generating primary hydrocarbon phase production profiles are provided within this application.

Either :

• The ability to generate a field production profile by defining the field production buildup, plateau and decline rates and recoverable reserves. The application solves for the required number of development wells; producers and injectors, that fit with the timing of the field production profile, or
• The ability to generate a field production profile by specifying different well types and the schedule for drilling these wells. This approach permits the modeling of different well recoveries and workovers, etc. The field profile is simply the sum ofall the wells specified in the well schedule.
