Title: Improvement of the field production forecast workflow including
uncertainty analysis

Objective: Improve the workflow for the field production forecast
including the uncertainties.

Scope of Work: Analyse the existing production profiles and calculate the
risked profiles (Low-Mean-High cases) at segment / reservoir / field scale
based on Monte Carlo analysis and provide the forecast on the field/area
level. By using the data from a specific North Sea field, the workflow for
field production forecast will be improved.

Required skill: Reservoir engineering by training. Knowlege on Eclipse /
OFM / IPOS type of software or equivalent  will be benefical, but not
mandatory.


Title: Network simulation for production optimization

Objectives: There are 2 primary objectives for this project:
1) To benchmark a new software, with slightly different approach
to network simulation compared to a commmercial network simulator GAP, and
investigate the functionality of the new software.
2) To use the new software for a North Sea field case and
recommend a production strategy.

Scope of work: The benchmarking will be performed in cooperation with the
vendor and with the in-house competance.For production optimization, the
case where isolated reservoirs are coupled through a common production
facility at the surface and it is desirable to optimize the production by
tuning of the production parameters such as production rates and well head
pressure with regards to facilities constraints. The final report will
contain the outcome of both tasks.

Required skill: The project involve reservoir simulation (Eclipse)
togehter with the production optimization tool. It is relevant for
Petroleum Technology, Reservoir and Production.
