Neste momento, a análise integrada entre reservatório, escoamento e processamento pode ser mais importante que o maior detalhamento de cada aspecto envolvido. Uma ferramenta capaz de efetuar a simulação integrada permite a visualização de impactos de restrições dos sistemas de produção sobre a economicidade do projeto. Os resultados ficam mais próximos do comportamento real, quando comparado às simulações que utilizam modelos simplificados para os sistemas de produção. O presente trabalho é focado efetuar uma análise integrada de um campo de petróleo, com a utilização de modelos analíticos para a representação do comportamento do reservatório. Um maior detalhamento foi aplicado à modelagem termodinâmica, de escoamento e de processamento de fluidos. Com isto, em casos onde a modelagem composicional e os sistemas de produção apresentam grande impacto no projeto, esta ferramenta demonstra melhor suas vantagens. A ferramenta foi validada via a comparação entre os resultados de simuladores comerciais, adotando-se o (CMG-IMEX) como simulador de reservatório e o (PIPESIM) como simulador de escoamento. Após a validação, a ferramenta foi aplicada ao estudo de caso de campo marítimo de elevada pressão permitindo a otimização de alguns aspectos dos sistemas de produção / Abstract: In the early phase of the oil field project development, the available information is scarce. At this moment, an integrated analysis of reservoir, flowing and processing can be more important than the detailing every aspect involved. The result becomes closer to real behavior, when compared to simulations using simplified models for production systems. The present work is focused on developing an integrated analysis of an oil field, using analytical models for reservoirs. A more detailed approach was applied to thermodynamic modeling, flow and fluid processing. In cases where the compositional modeling and production systems have great interference in the project, this tool has demonstrated its best advantages. The tool has been validated through the comparison between the results of commercial simulators as CMG- IMEX for reservoir and PIPESIM for flowing, and the results of created model. After validation, the tool was applied to study the case of offshore field with high pressure allowing the optimization of some aspects of production systems / Mestrado / Explotação / Mestre em Ciências e Engenharia de Petróleo

In this study, a three-dimensional, three-phase dynamic simulation model based on geological investigations of Korolev oilfield in Kazakhstan was used as a development planning tool in order to improve performance of three new wells. The model, developed previously by means of a seismic study, well log and core data, incorporating with characteristics of oilfield productivity, properties of reservoir, liquids and gases that are saturating the hydrocarbon-bearing horizon can be used to calculate development parameters for Korolev field, including production well locations, drilling schedules, and to facilitate both long-term and short-term forecasting for the purposes of optimizing the hydrocarbon recovery from the field. The objective of this work is to assess the impact of adding 3 extra producing wells and find ways to optimize cumulative production with the least impact on the existing development plan by means of deeper understanding subsurface dynamic processes of the Korolev field. The challenge is a high degree of connectivity between wells in the productive formation throughout the field so that any change of production parameters affects the whole field&rsquo / s cumulative production. Trying to find a solution to optimum production of the reservoir forecast studies were carried out, the impact of each new well on development parameters was defined, sub-surface processes changes due to extra producers lead-in were explained and as a result of this thesis two optimization models were proposed, one of which will bring nearly 9.7 million barrels more oil.
