    This document summarizes an introduction chapter to petroleum production operations. It outlines the components of petroleum systems engineering including reservoirs, reservoir fluids, the near-wellbore zone and well completion, the wellbore, and surface facilities. It also lists the objectives of production engineering as evaluating well performance, designing/maintaining/operating wells, and enhancing performance. The chapter will cover reservoirs, fluids, pressure profiles around the wellbore, wellbore stability/sand production/zone isolation, lift methods, surface equipment, and a production engineer's role.

    2. Components of petroleum production system
    3. Objective of Production Engineering

    1. Components of petroleum systems


    engineering
    An investment company wants to come to
    Saskatchewan to invest in the oil and gas
    industry. This companys objective is to
    become a small/median size oil company with
    a daily oil production of 10,000bbl/day. In
    order to be successful, what this investment
    company should do?

    2. Components of petroleum production system

    The reservoir
    Reservoir fluid
    The zone near the well and
    well completion
    The wellbore
    The surface facility

    The reservoir
     Reservoir geology: homogeneous, heterogeneous,
    anisotropy, shale, trapping mechanisms.
     Porosity
     Reservoir net-pay thickness, gross pay thickness
     Fluid saturation, So, Sw, Sg
     OOIP, Volumetric method
     Absolute Permeability, phase permeability and
    relative permeability
     Bottom-water, edge water, gas cap, water-oil contact,
    gas-oil contact

    The Reservoir Fluids


     Under-saturated oil reservoir
     Saturated oil reservoir

    o The pressure drop


    around the wellbore is
    significant!
    o the pressure drop will
    be larger if the
    formation is damaged!
    o matrix acidizing or
    fracturing are performed
    to reduce the pressure
    drop around the
    wellbore!

    A typical pressure profile

    o There have any other problems associated with sandface:


     wellbore stability
    Sand production
     multiple zone isolation!
    Therefore, we need technologies to solve those problems.
    This is called well completion.

    The wellbore
     Naturally flowing
     Mechanical lift
     Gas lift

     The surface facility


     Production tree (Xmas tree)
     Separators
     Transportation line
     Storage
     Etc.

    3. Objective of Production Engineering

    Evaluate the well performance;


    Design, maintain, operate and manage the well;
    Enhance the well performance
