Description

Speaker: Olivier Houzé
Olivier Houzé holds an Engineer degree from Ecole Polytechnique and an MSc in Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University. In 1983 he joined Flopetrol-Johnston as a well test field engineer in the Middle East. He was later assigned to the interpretation research group in France. In 1987 he co-founded KAPPA and wrote the first versions of Saphir, a Pressure Transient Analysis program. He has served as KAPPA Managing Director since 1991.

Olivier Houzé has been involved in numerous SPE Forums and Workshops on well test interpretation and related topics. He was a co-author of the last SPE Monograph on Pressure Transient Testing (2009). He is now serving as the SPE Technical Director for Reservoir Description & Dynamics (2012-2015).


Abstract on Methods and Workflows To Process Dynamic Data in Intelligent Fields
Not so long ago well tests were still the primary source of dynamic data. In recent years these operations were complemented and sometimes replaced by a variety of tools which provide dynamic rate, pressure and temperature data at different scales in volume and time. Similar evolution was observed in analysis methods, moving from classical well test interpretation to a variety of analysis and modeling methods focused on interpreting and forecasting dynamic data: Pressure Transient Analysis, Production Analysis, Production Log Interpretation, Formation Tests Interpretation, History Matching, etc.

Among the new hardware tools, Permanent Downhole Gauges (PDG), Distributed Temperature Surveys (DTS), and various multiphase surface or downhole flowmeters provide masses of real time additional data that are the backbone of ‘intelligent field’ projects. Involved companies wish to set automatic processes and workflows that will detect events and minimize the time lag between the acquisition of these events and post-analysis decisions.

For temperature data this is still research work in progress. For permanent pressure and rate gauges the processing and analysis methods are now operational. We will present the technologies developed in the last ten years and a typical workflow covering the whole processing of PDG data.
