New Software Makes It Easier for LUKOIL to Digitize the Komi and Nenets Autonomous Okrug Fields
The Intellectual Field software creates a complete picture of the fields and allows you to quickly obtain highly accurate forecasts.
LUKOIL-PERM continues to implement the Intelligent Field project. Digitalization of production processes will facilitate multivariate calculations of well operation. It will become easier for oilmen to determine the most rational methods for developing fields. The company’s corporate publication writes about this.
The new program is capable of building geological models of deposits from scratch, calculating them and analyzing all changes in real time. Using the software, you can see the most complete picture of the field and understand what geological and technical measures are required.
Specialists from the Perm branch of LUKOIL-Engineering help test the software. Previously, the system was successfully tested at various LUKOIL facilities, including the Sretenskoye field in the Perm region.
“The advantage over a previously existing product is simplicity,” said Takhsinbek MUSIEV, leading engineer of the Usinsk Chamber of Commerce and Industry. — This is not only a 3D projector, but also a calculator. You can calculate oil production, starting flow rates, how it will all look in dynamics, for any time step.”
“You can see where black gold reserves are concentrated by area in the section,” he added. “This allows you to plan an event and evaluate its effectiveness.” In turn, engineer of the production optimization group Ilya BARKALOV is preparing to update information and calculations.
“This allows us to quickly obtain highly accurate forecasts,” he explained. – It is also possible to formulate asset development scenarios taking into account the unique geological features of complex formations, the technological cycle and infrastructure capabilities. I’m now looking at the best case scenario for the flowing wells at East Lambayshore.”
Today the company operates six integrated operations centers. Three of them operate in Timan-Pechora. Here, multidisciplinary teams of technologists, mechanics, transport workers, power engineers, and field development specialists form technological regimes. They also perform scenario-based production calculations.
In the Komi Republic and the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (NAO), seven fields of the Usinsk Chamber of Commerce and Industry have already been digitized. Among them are Vostochno-Lambeyshorskoye, named after.A. Alabushina, Bayandyskoye, Yuzhno-Bayandyskoye, Prokhorovskoye, Verkhneipatskoye and Verkhnevozeiskoye fields.
Five southern fisheries have digital backups: Kyrtaelsky, Pashninsky, Yuzhno-Lyzhsky, North Kozhvinsky, Yuzhno-Kyrtaelsky, and two northern ones – Kharyaginsky and Yareyyusky. In addition, models of oil treatment units (OPU) “Usa-Heavy Oil” and “Bayandyskaya” have been created.
All new integrated models of LUKOIL-PERM fields will be immediately built in the new software package. Thus, LUKOIL-Engineering specialists are creating a digital twin for the Vozeiskoye field. It is being developed by LUKOIL-Usinskneftegaz. This will be the largest model in terms of the number of wells (480 in total) at the enterprise.
