Decision-Grade Reservoir Simulation-Driven Field Development Planning (FDP) Studies  

 

A&A Consulting Team of high-level and seasoned consultants is available to conduct "Decision-Grade Reservoir Simulation-Driven Field Development Planning (FDP)" studies for its clients, around the world, whenever requested. The scope and assessment will depend on the client's objectives, available data and status of the field, and will require defining prior to starting the study:

  • Primary Objective: Mitigate capital risks and approve development CAPEX
  • Uncertainty Approach: Multi-model probabilistic ensembles (P10/P50/P90)
  • Scope of Model: Integrated Asset Model (Reservoir + Well + Facility)
  • Technology Stack: Next-gen parallel computing, AI proxies, and cloud

 

Study Objectives: Developing comprehensive field development plans (FDPs) built on decision-grade simulation modeling systematically requires four distinct technical phases:

  • Static Geomodeling
  • Dynamic Calibration
  • Scenario Optimization
  • Economic Assessment

 

In detail Four Distinct Technical Phases of these studies are:  

1. Static Subsurface Characterization

  • Data Synthesis
  • Petrophysical Mapping
  • Structural Geology 

2. Dynamic Model Calibration (History Matching)

  • Historical Alignment
  • Parameter Tuning
  • Global vs. Local Fit

3. Scenario Forecasting & Development Optimization

  • Well Architecture
  • Depletion Strategies
  • Facility Bottlenecking

4. Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis

  • Heavy Impact Identification
  • Probabilistic Ranges

 

Modern landscape of asset deployment relies heavily on two fields of computational advancement to accelerate decision-making timelines:

  • Integrated Asset Modeling (IAM): It prevents engineers from designing a subsurface recovery plan that overloads surface processing facilities
  • AI & Machine Learning Proxies: A&A Consulting Team deploys Surrogate Reservoir Models (SRMs) powered by neural networks to approximate physics calculations in seconds. This speed allows operators to evaluate thousands of candidate well placements instantly

 

Whenever requested, the A&A Consulting Team will be delighted to present the results of investigation and the customized Field Development Plan/Model (FDP/FDM) for your company's oil & gas field, not only to your company's management, but also to your company's equity partners, and/or financial institutions, and/or the appropriate regulatory authorities, for their approval, and answer any questions that they may have on the customized FDP/FDM.
