Course Description
This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators.
This course is designed to provide participants with a basic overview of Oil Field Manager (OFM) Fundamentals and Intermediate Production Forecasting Analysis. It covers the importance and role of OFM software in reservoir engineering; navigating the OFM environment, the user interface and customizing settings for individual needs; the techniques for importing data and organization, data validation and correction; creating and managing database, basic reporting and visualization; the techniques for well performance analysis, time-series data analysis and water-cut and gas-oil ratio analysis (GOR); the pressure transient analysis integration; and the OFM visualization tools and performance monitoring dashboards.
Further, the course will also discuss the reservoir surveillance techniques and rate transient analysis (RTA); integrating simulation models with OFM and forecasting production using OFM; integrating the opportunities for optimization of field operations and advanced decline curve analysis methods in OFM; the economic parameters into production forecasting for comprehensive project evaluation in OFM; and the probabilistic forecasting methods in OFM for risk assessment and decision-making support.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the scenario analysis and development planning; the automation and custom calculations and advanced visualizations and reports in OFM for internal and external stakeholders; integrating OFM with other petroleum engineering software and databases for enhanced workflow efficiency; the best practices for managing and analyzing data within OFM to ensure accuracy and reliability; managing OFM projects and troubleshooting common issues in OFM; and the future trends and upcoming features in OFM development.
