To safe time pick a number (multiple numbers are acceptable)
1) It's all foam and the well is pumped off!!!
2) Can not produce below the bubble point: IPR curve reverses
3) The hole is too deviated and pumps don't work inlined
4) Pulling the chokes will make production decrease
5) Scale will form
6) Water will break through sooner
7) Anaerobic bacteria will grow at the perforations
8) Facility is full
9) Oil bubbles through water at 30 t/d; the physical production limit
10) Sharp decline of base production
11) Will damage the Reservoir
12) Bad Sucker Rods
13) We don't have big pumps
14) Production below the bubble point will foul the ESP with gas
15) Ran out of cable
16) Bigger pump will cause interference with adjacent wells decreasing total production
17) It's on order but won't be here for at least 2 months
18) Hydrates
19) Not enough electricity for a bigger pump
20) Casing collapse
21) FRACs go away
22) Every well has a right to life
23) Casing is too small
24) Pumps will burn up
25) Cannot increase the frequency because of vibration
26) Cannot commingle sandstones and carbonates
27) Cannot commingle because different waters will precipitate salt
28) Can not increase production as we have no money for helicopter gasoline
29) Not enough gas is being produced to cool the pump (not enough Joules-Thomson)
30) Material balance does not work
31) Velocity of the nozzle of the separator will increase
32) We don't open chokes on weekends
33) It's Easter time
34) This physical law works good in the theory, but can be applied to the real fields we have here.
Discussion
Sounds familiar?
All of those are the real world excuses given by the people in the oil an gas industry why not to increase production.
People who say something like this usually has no math and physics done to support what they are saying.
It's just a folklore, "field experience", stories, testimonials, gossip etc.
The performance based organization rule is:
All enhancement opportunities are pursued unless somebody proves the opposite with the math and physics.
