Customer challenges
- Reposol Sinopec Resources UK Ltd requested an independent technical study of 28 wells that had the potential to add incremental production from their assets
- The objective of the project was to quantify and estimate the cost of the additional production opportunities. The four work categories evaluated were:
- Artificial Lift optimisation - Gas Lift Valve deepening and evaluation of ESP change out benefit
- Petroleum Behind pipe - additional perforations and water shut off
- Evaluation of Water Injector optimisation strategies
- Resolution of well access/integrity issues - Coiled Tubing clean out and fishing
- The well hopper project output would inform the forthcoming 2020 business plan and associated work schedules
Expro Excellence
- Expro leveraged the expertise of our Petroleum Engineering Solutions team and Well Intervention capabilities to create a unique value proposition. This time-bound project was delivered on schedule because the Expro team were flexible, communicated well and were quick to adapt to changing circumstances
- Repsol Sinopec received detailed credible production projections and well intervention costs in order to make important investment decisions for each well
- The key Engineering disciplines engaged were Reservoir Engineering and Production Technology
Value to client
- Incremental production opportunities were calculated by comparing production models following interventions with 'do nothing' scenarios
- Intervention cost estimates were built from detailed intervention work scopes
- Expro applied consistent workflows that modelled opportunities across six assets
- Reposol Sinopec's work programs will change as a result of these new insights
