Session 7: Monitoring and Optimization
Chairs: Victor Duarte, Baker Hughes; Cristian Ivan Von Zedtwitz, Halliburton
This session covers the integration of traditional well performance analysis with advanced digital transformation and Industry 4.0 technologies tailored for mature onshore oil and gas fields. It emphasizes understanding historical well performance for accurate diagnosis and effective interventions aimed at increasing hydrocarbon rates, reducing decline rates or water production, and enhancing overall well productivity. Key topics include zonal contributions, pump parameters, choke sizes, and the use of digital tools to determine what, how, and when to measure for optimized well performance, ultimately supporting improved recovery factors and operational efficiency in mature fields.
