Extensive analytical model library
Integrated numerical model with non-linearity
The abundance of data from permanent gauges
has meant that users are able to obtain answers
that were previously only available from transient
tests. This information has the advantage that it
is available at no extra cost and with no deferred
production. As the long-term production is modeled,
the evolution in time of the well productivity may
also be quantified. Finally, forecasting is based on
a real model as opposed to an empirical function.
Unique features include a total compatibility with
the Ecrin PTA module (Saphir) data and models,
an extensive analytical model catalog and a unique
numerical capability that allows reliable history
matching and forecasting, even in the case of shale
gas and CBM produced by fractured horizontal
wells. Its multiwell capability allows very fast full-field
decline analysis and forecasting. A field production
profile generator is also integrated.
With decent rate data, permanent gauge pressure
data and Topaze I can make the data dance.’
Other tools process bulk data efficiently, but when I
need to be sure my analysis is not based on any old line
I use Topaze to be really sure of the model.’
You may not like what you see, but the data is the
data and it is telling you what is happening. If that is
the model then, like it or not, you have to live with it.
The data never lies.’
Why should I be surprised when the rates and the
pressures tell me the same thing? It is the same
reservoir. Just a different scale and way of looking
at things.’
Moving deeper into the reservoir and typically making use of low resolution,
low frequency data Production Analysis (PA) has recently come of age.
Evolving from empirical decline curve methods to modern methodology that
shares much with pressure transient analysis (PTA). With over 1300 commercial
licenses Topaze, the Ecrin PA module, offers single and multi-well analytical
and numerical analysis leading to reserves and production forecasting from the
most simple to most complex multiphase case.
