PROSPER

OPTIONS SUMMARY :

 Fluid Description :
o Fluid -> Dry & Wet Gas, Oil & water, or Retrograde condensate
 Dry/Wet gas is handled under the assumption that condensation occurs at
the separator
 Retrograde Condensate : This model takes into account the condensate
dropout in the tubing.
o Separator : Depending on the fluid type and PVT method chosen, appropriate
separation options are available : Single Stage, Two Stage, Multi Stage (Up to 5
stages of separation can be modelled for compositional applications).
 Well :
o Flow type : most common is Tubing Flow
o Well type : most study use Producer, EOR use Injector
 Calculation Type :
o Predict :
 Pressure Only : If this option is taken, the temperature profile must be
entered. This calculation option is fast and sufficiently accurate for most
applications not involving critical fluids or viscous oils and generating
simulator lift curves or tubing size sensitivity runs. Normally, the pressure
drop is not greatly affected by temperature changes.
 Pressure and Temperature (On Land and Off shore) : This option will
generate pressure and temperature gradients using the method specified in
Temperature Model. (most common in study)

PVT DATA :

 Input based on PVT data available, or use assumption if necessary (YOU CAN HELP THE
INPUT FROM WELLTEST REPORT)

IPR DATA :

 Input IPR data based on WELLTEST SIMULATION (SOFTWARE SAPHIR) that will be use
for DYNAMIC SIMULATION (i.e Pres, Tres, WGR, etc).
 Input TEST DATA based on WELLTESTING/SAPHIR DATA available
  Choose reservoir model based on WELLTEST SIMULATION, (i.e : C and n, Multirate C
and n, etc)

EQUIPMENT DATA :

DEVIATION SURVEY
  Fill MD and TVD based on DEVIATION SURVEY well/field available data (1000, 2000,
3000 MD FT).

SURFACE EQUIPMENT

 The surface equipment screen enables you to enter your pipe and choke data. Surface
equipment is defined as the pipework between the production manifold (which is
considered to present a constant back pressure regardless of flow rate) and the
upstream side of the wellhead choke. If systems analysis is to be performed relative
to the wellhead, (i.e. gathering system pressure losses are neglected) then no surface
equipment input is required.

DOWNHOLE EQUIPMENT

 The tubing string can be modeled using the following element types : Tubing, SSSV,
Restriction, Casing
 YOU need to know what your ID size and MID-PERFO are, because they were
important input for PROSPER
 An SSSV is considered to have no length, and is modelled as a sharp-edged orifice
inserted between adjacent tubing string elements. A Restriction is handled identically
to an SSSV
 Casing is treated the same as tubing for pressure drop calculations. Only enter a
downhole equipment description down to the producing interval being analysed. i.e.
the deepest casing depth entered should be the point of the producing perforations
and equal to the depth of the reservoir pressure reference. The deepest depth entries
for the tubing, deviation survey and temperature should all be consistent.
 The Rate Multiplier column enables to simulate the pressure drop due to intermittent
sections of dual completion. The fluid rate in the tubing is multiplied by the value
entered. For a standard single tubing completion it should be left at its default value
of 1.
 Tubing inside roughness default as per PROSPER software

GEOTHERMAL GRADIENT

 Fill it based on DATA RESERVOIR available

 For Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient : As “rule of thumb” we suggest to use as
starting values of U the following:
- In the case of dry gas fluid: 1-3 BTU/(hr×ft2×F)
- In the case of retrograde condensate fluid: 5-7 BTU/(hr×ft2×F)
- In the case of oil fluid: 8-9 BTU/(hr×ft2×F)
The values of the heat transfer coefficient above reported are the ones that we
suggest to use as starting point during the temperature matching process, as we
found out that in many cases they are not too far from the actual values.

AVERAGE HEAT CAPACITIES

 Default values are

Cp Oil 0.53 BTU/lb/F
Cp Gas 0.51 BTU/lb/F
Cp Water 1.00 BTU/lb/F
 The default values will often give reasonable results in moderate GOR oil wells,
however, actual Cp values for oil and gas vary widely. Do not rely on the defaults -
obtain good estimates of Cp, or use the Enthalpy Balance method where accurate
temperatures are required

ANALYSIS SUMMARY
INFLOW

 This option will calculate tubing intake (IPR). It allows to perform sensitivity
analysis with a wide range of variables.

SYSTEM (3 / 4 VARIABLES)

Top Node Pressure : Pressure at the furthest

point downstream in your system.<- you can
edit this for matching VLP vs IPR
CGR, WGR, GOR : use data available

Variable :
+ First node pressure -> 50 – 250 psig (based
on client minimum THP request) this later
also for eclipse output as VLP production
performance
+ Tubing / Pipe Diameter : fill it with choke
you wanted to match, i.e -> you wanted to
match 32/64 choke with ID 3.5 inch. LAST
NODE use where your depth choke was i.e
6200 feet

Basically SYSTEM 3 or 4 variables is graph

from IPR and VLP

VLP (3 / 4 VARIABLES)

Basically VLP is just same as SYSTEM

interface, so you can just fill it with what you
input in SYSTEM interface
VLP/IPR MATCHING

 Input Tubing head temperature, WGR, CGR, Gas Rate, Gauge Depth, Gauge Pressure,
Reservoir Pressure based on data available
 Tubing head pressure is what you will change to MATCH VLP (the sensivity is based on test
data)
 Estimate U Value can be used just press OK
 After matched, press VLP/IPR -> calculate -> Plot, if + and square didn’t match. You need
to do sensitivity tubing head pressure again. But remember to match it on MATCH VLP after
that you can calculate again and plot again.
 After VLP/IPR matched, go to SYSTEM 3 / 4 VARIABLES -> Continue -> Variable 1/2/3 ->
First Node pressure (fill it based on client data) -> continue -> calculate -> Lift curves ->
choose schlumberger eclipse as the output.
 SKK also wanted to know matched based on tubing diamaeter in SYSTEM 3 VARIABLES
