Annex-B: Additional Information about Production System

Integration
B1. Production System Integration
UNISIM-I-D.pdf original files provide information regarding just the reservoir conditions. For
users who want to consider production systems in their studies, the fixed operational constraints
for wells and groups in UNISIM-I-D project should be included in the production system. Users
interested in working and contributing to the production system integration project are welcome
and should send their contacts to [email protected]. We require the information
about boundary conditions of constraints and their costs compatible with UNISIM-I-D in order to
set up the same problem for all the research groups.

Table B1 presents reservoir data to be used as reference in the production system integration

project. The location conditions as well as water depth are the same as the Namorado oil field .

Note:

 The platform costs provided in UNISIM-I-D.pdf file considers water depth of 166m. This
is considered in the first term (fixed cost) of the equation.
 Sum vertical and horizontal lengths to obtain total length to evaluate economic
parameters above.
 In Drilling and Completion variable cost for horizontal well, consider only horizontal
length.

Examples:

1) Connection of a typical new vertical well with vertical measure of 3085m, distance
1792m from platform, with production column of 4 1/2", production flowline of 6” and
riser of 6”:

Investment on drilling and completion of vertical well: 0.000250 * 3085 + 20.899 = 21.67
MMUSD.

Investment on connection (well platform) of vertical well: 0.001513 * 166 + 0.000768 * 1792 +
11.703 = 13.33 MMUSD.

Additional investment on connection for Artificial Lift: 0.000879 * 166 + 0.000411 * 1792 = 0.88
MMUSD.

2) Drilling of a typical horizontal well with vertical measure of 3062m, 665m horizontal
length, with production column of 4 1/2", injection flowline of 6” and riser of 6”:

Investment on drilling and completion of horizontal well: 0.000250 * (3062 + 665) + 0.021185 *
665 + 25.659 = 40.68MMUSD.

3) Recompletion of vertical well (3085m vertical length) with production column of 4 1/2":

Investment on recompletion of vertical well: 0.000045 * 3085 + 7.860 = 8.0 MMUSD.

4) Conversion of producer horizontal well (3727m total measure) to injector with


production column of 4 1/2":

Investment on well conversion: 0.000045 * 3727 + 9.831 = 10.0 MMUSD.
