Typical Applications for ReO^® Software

Production facility optimization: Using available production equipment more effectively increases hydrocarbon production. After optimization, the application returns new settings for various equipment in the field that provide increased hydrocarbon production. Production facility optimization could achieve production gains up to five percent without any capital expenditure.

Production system optimization: Increase hydrocarbon production by re-routing fluids making better use of the existing production system. ReO optimization gains of this type typically depend on capacity of the flow lines.

Asset-based gas-lift optimization: Optimization of hydrocarbon production of a gas-lifted field including injection and production system pressure constraints and allocation of lift gas to gas-lifted wells. The gas-lift optimization algorithm computes the injection rates for each of the wells and these rates are based on the available injection pressure in the network.

Production allocation: The sophisticated simulation and reporting functionality allows users to translate the measured field production rates into individual well and reservoir off-takes which are an essential input for asset and reservoir development planning.

Artificial-lift design: Evaluate whether the selected means of artificial lift (gas lift or electric submersible pump (ESP)) and its design will provide the expected production gains–especially after taking into account production and processing system constraints.

De-bottlenecking: State-of-the-art mathematical models coupled with detailed flow and equipment related results provide sufficient information to the user to identify bottlenecks in production systems in the most cost-effective way.

Process equipment design: The flexibility of modeling the process equipment in multiple ways allows users to run various what-if scenarios for different configurations of process equipment.
