Production System Optimization (PSO) is the process of maximising value in an existing production system by making changes in the short and medium term. The course looks in an integrated way at the production system from reservoir – wells – facilities. It uses a structured approach in order to understand and analyse the production system with the objective to identify bottlenecks and optimization opportunities.
The PSO process comprises of the following steps:
oThe four pillars of measurement: selection, sizing, maintenance and calibration
oCycles of surveillance (PSO reviews)
oRequirements of optimization (e.g. Limit Diagrams)
oGetting opportunities implemented (e.g. PSO economics)
oThe above is supported by getting insights in the use of the, “Paint the Picture”, Limit Diagram, PSO economics, how to risk opportunities and group dynamics.
o Creating the right behaviour for PSO
o How to "Paint the Picture" of an asset
o Data acquisition
o PSO review preparation
o How to construct and use a Limit Diagram of an asset
o PSO economics
o Risking of opportunities
o Preparing an action plan
Instructor has over 36 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, with broad expertise in Petroleum Engineering and integrated production systems from subsurface to surface. He has held roles in Production Technology, R&D, Production Chemistry, Rock Mechanics, and Reservoir Engineering (cEOR), with strong experience in field development, well design, and production system optimization. He has worked internationally, including assignments in NAM, Oman, Gabon, and Nigeria. Passionate about teaching, he has served in Shell Learning and as a Learning & Development advisor, developing and delivering technical training programs. He holds a BSc in Chemical Engineering and an MSc in Physical Chemistry.
Production technologists/engineers, petroleum engineers, reservoir engineers, production geologists, facility engineers, production supervisors, production operators, production programmers.
o Intermediate
The class is built around a multi-day exercise in which teams work to optimize a field using the techniques they have learned. In addition, exercises are used to practice the various steps of the PSO process. The class provides a venue for discussion and sharing of good practices as well as opportunities to practice multidiscipline cooperation and facilitation.
