COURSE OVERVIEW:

Production forecasting is often inaccurate because subsurface reservoir models and surface facility models are treated as independent entities. This course provides an advanced workflow for integrating these two domains to create a single, unified "Digital Twin" of the production system. Participants will learn how to link dynamic reservoir simulators (e.g., Eclipse/tNavigator) with network modeling tools (e.g., GAP/Petroleum Experts).

The curriculum focuses on the iterative coupling process. Attendees will explore how reservoir pressure decline impacts well deliverability, and how surface facility constraints (like compressor capacity or pipeline back-pressure) can restrict reservoir recovery. The course covers advanced topics such as global optimization of gas lift and ESP networks across multiple reservoirs and long-term asset planning.

By the end of the program, reservoir and production engineers will be able to perform robust "Full-System" forecasts that account for all physical constraints from the pore to the pipeline, leading to more accurate reserves booking and better-informed capital investment decisions.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Explain the technical and economic value of Integrated Asset Modeling (IAM).
• Identify the limitations of standalone reservoir and surface models.
• Design a coupling strategy: Loose vs. Tight coupling.
• Link Reservoir Simulators (Subsurface) with Network Models (Surface).
• Model the impact of surface back-pressure on reservoir recovery factors.
• Account for facility uptime and constraints in production forecasts.
• Optimize global gas lift and ESP allocation across a multi-well system.
• Perform field-wide "What-If" scenarios for facility debottlenecking.
• Conduct long-term forecasting for Life-of-Field planning.
• Synchronize fluid property (PVT) models across different software platforms.
• Use integrated models for Field Development Planning (FDP).
• Calibrate and history-match integrated models using field data.
• Communicate integrated results to management and financial stakeholders.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

Reservoir Engineers, Production Engineers, and Asset Managers.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximise the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
