Shut in Identification

Objectives

Shut-in Identification (SIID) can be performed on pressure (or temperature) history data. Shut-ins are identified by searching for discontinuities in the pressure (or temperature) data. A tangent crossing algorithm fits tangents at some key points around the transient to identify the start and end of the shut-in period. Identified shut-ins are recorded in a special SIID logical channel that has the value of “1” for the duration of the shut-in and “0” everywhere else.

Input

  • Input type – pressure or temperature.

  • Look for – type of shut-in (Bulid-ups or Fall-offs).

  • Requires validation - Boolean input; when checked, validation by engineer is required.

  • Minimum pressure change - between the first point pressure and the last detected point pressure

  • Minimum shut-in duration - detect only the shut-in with duration greater then this value.

  • Input gauge - pressure or temperature gauge

  • Input choke gauge optional - when this is available it is used for SI classification

Output

  • Raw shut-in channel - shut-in detected by the algorithm

  • Validated shut-in channel - shut-in detected by the algorithm and validated by an engineer
