i-DO™ Intelligent Daily Operations Software

i-DO software links real-time downhole, surface and corporate data sources to ensure that reservoir, well and facility models are constantly monitored and updated to reflect actual operating conditions. The system integrates production data management and reservoir modeling with transient pressure analysis, well modeling and surface network modeling and optimization. The system can be applied without modification to a wide range of production optimization problems, including downhole controls in smart wells and intelligent completions.

What is i-DO Software?

Production optimization ensures that wells and facilities are at all times operating at their peak performance to maximize production or to maximize revenues. The current manual production optimization approaches are both time consuming and error prone due to the complexity and large volumes of data that have to be considered. Frequent changes in well and surface equipment downtime, maintenance work, evolving reservoir conditions, etc., usually make it impossible for engineers to keep the asset tuned for optimal operating conditions. Production enhancement studies that are not linked to an automated optimization system have limited value because their recommendations quickly become out of date.

i-DO Intelligent Daily Operations Architecture

Recognizing these deficiencies, intelligent daily operations (i-DO) provides sustainable production optimization. i-DO software links real-time downhole, surface, and corporate data sources to ensure that reservoir, well, and facility models are constantly monitored and updated to reflect actual operating conditions. The i-DO calculation engine then simultaneously optimizes hundreds of critical parameters.

The system can handle very complex producing networks having hundreds of wells or a single well’s information. The ability to gather and interpret data online as well as implement many of the changes electronically means production optimization can be sustained effectively with minimum manpower and expense. The key advantage of the system is keeping the asset operating at peak performance.

i-DO software is used on a daily basis to manage mature assets and make operational decisions. The system integrates production data management and reservoir modeling with transient pressure analysis, well modeling, and surface network modeling and optimization. The system can be applied without modification to a wide range of production optimization problems, including downhole controls in smart wells and intelligent completions.
