Enhancement

Brief

Enhancement is an action to close the performance gap of the Well, Block, Pattern or a Reservoir.

Enhancement has associated cost and results in the incremental oil recovery (IOR).

In the E&P Portal Enhancements are identified by the Enhancement List.

In the E&P Portal Enhancements are tracked by the Enhancement Tracking.

Well Enhancements

From most $/bbl effective to least:

• Choke open
• Pump Optimization
• ESP (converting the flowing well to ESP; upgrading the ESP etc)
• Acid Job
• Reperforation
• Frac
• Multistage Frac
• Sidetrack
• Drilling New Well

Example:

Enhancement example: Converting the Flowing well to the ESP

Block, Pattern, Reservoir Enhancements

• Well Enhancement
• Convert producing well to injector
• Shut in inefficient injection well
• Increase/Decrease well injection rate
• Add/squeeze Perforations at producing or injection wells
• Drilling the infill production/injection well
