Optimizing oil field productivity using integrated system modelling: A comprehensive approach for identifying and maximizing oil production in a Niger Delta field

This paper examines the development and application of an Integrated Production System Modelling (IPSM) approach to identify bottlenecks and optimize production in an oil-producing asset in the Niger Delta. IPSM integrates reservoir, well, and surface network models using software tools like MBAL, PROSPER, and GAP. Optimization results demonstrate a 50% reduction in separator and surge vessel pressures of 40, 116, and...
