Feasibility study for Advanced Real-time Production Optimisation (ARPO) of Integrated Oil & Gas Production Facilities

最大限度地开发英国大陆架（UKCS）的剩余石油和天然气储量对英国的税收、能源供应安全、国际收支平衡和制造业竞争力至关重要。该可行性研究提案是一种先进的实时生产优化（ARPO）工具的预商业化开发，使UKCS油气运营公司能够实时优化综合油气生产资产的生产，从而最大化收入并提高开采效率。它将生产系统的井到设施数学模型与严格的数学优化框架内的操作数据相结合，以确定部署哪口井，每口井的最佳气举流量以及其他操作设置。独特的技术解决了目前部署的工具的众所周知的缺陷，借鉴了广泛的现有PSE技术和经验，从其他部门转移和适应了成熟的现有技术和专业知识，并涉及关键利益相关者的参与，以制定需求并验证商业化前的开发。

Maximising the exploitation of the UK Continental Shelf’s (UKCS’s) remaining oil & gas reserves is critical to UKtax revenues, security of energy supply, balance of payments and competiveness of manufacturing industries.This feasibility study proposal is for pre-commercial development of an Advanced Real-time ProductionOptimisation (ARPO) tool to enable UKCS Oil & Gas operating companies to optimise production in integratedoil & gas production assets in real time in order to maximise revenue and increase extraction efficiency. It useswell-to-facilities mathematical models of the production system combined with operational data within arigorous mathematical optimisation framework to determine, for example, which wells to deploy, optimal gaslift flowrates for each operating well and other operational settings. The unique technology addresses well-known deficiencies of currently-deployed tools, draws on extensive existing PSE technology and experience,transfers and adapts well-established existing technology and expertise from other sectors, and involvesengagement of key stakeholders to develop requirements and validate the pre-commercial development.
