As the hand-held calculator revolutionized the capabilities of engineers 20 years ago, the desk-top computer is revolutionizing technology transfer in engineering practice today. For example, more than 10,000 independent oil/gas producers in the U.S., most of whom have difficulty gaining access to the most updated technology, rely on personal computers to keep up with the explosion of information and engineering process developments. In almost all petroleum companies, technical staffs are becoming small, and often, one or a few engineers serve as geologists and reservoir, drilling, and production engineers. Their needs demand software that is up to date, easy to understand and use, and able to run on small computers. This paper presents an integrated production software system, that can assist a production engineer with the design of an optimal well production system and can be used as training and technology transfer aids. Based on the new book Petroleum Production Systems, the software focuses on production engineering diagnosis and design tasks in reservoir inflow performance and well deliverability, skin identification and calculation, multiphase flow in pipes, well testing analysis, hydraulic fracturing design, acidizing design and artificial life design. The latest models and correlations describing these processes are incorporated in the package.
20年前，手持计算器彻底改变了工程师的能力，而今天，台式计算机正在彻底改变工程实践中的技术转移。例如，美国有1万多家独立的石油/天然气生产商，其中大多数很难获得最新的技术，他们依靠个人电脑来跟上信息和工程流程发展的爆炸式增长。在几乎所有的石油公司，技术人员都在减少，通常只有一个或几个工程师担任地质学家、储层、钻井和生产工程师。他们的需求要求软件是最新的，易于理解和使用，并且能够在小型计算机上运行。本文介绍了一个集成的生产软件系统，它可以帮助生产工程师设计最优的生产系统，并可以作为培训和技术转让的辅助工具。该软件以《石油生产系统》(Petroleum Production Systems)一书为基础，专注于油藏流入动态和油井产能、表皮识别和计算、管道多相流、试井分析、水力压裂设计、酸化设计和人工寿命设计等生产工程诊断和设计任务。描述这些过程的最新模型和相关性都包含在包中。

Three phase production allocation programs have continuously evolved in the Prudhoe Bay Eastern Operating Area (PBEOA) over the past 19 years. These programs are necessary because the actual production rate of a well can be measured only when a well is being tested. Since each well is tested for about 6 hours per week, some method of estimating well production rates in real time while the well is not being tested is required. These estimates are used to optimize well and field production as surface processing and product shipping constraints vary. These estimates are also used to estimate field production rates in real time, track well performance, and allocate production volumes to wells for accounting and reservoir management purposes. Rate tables for most naturally flowing wells and all gas lifted wells are based upon the Fetkovich inflow performance model and tubing performance relationships 2 (TPR's) developed from various tubing hydraulics models. Specialty rate table programs allow engineers to allocate production to wells which always produce at the same choke setting, wells which are in the process of gassing out, and to automatically allocate wells which maintain consistent performance. A recent upgrade of the allocation system, utilizing current generation computer hardware, communications hardware, and software has resulted in a 60% reduction in engineering time required for production allocation. The allocation process discussed here can be applied to many other fields to improve the link between field well test data and the optimization of field production rate, estimation of well and field production rates in real time, well performance tracking and allocation of field production to wells for reservoir management and accounting purposes.

Interest in object orientation has surged in the last couple of years. A considerable number of groups have evaluated the technology; some have produced prototypes, and an increasing number have developed applications. A few groups have built significant applications frameworks, most notably the SPIRIT application framework developed by Shell Services in Houston. There are now nascent attempts to define a standard for object-oriented infrastructures with the Petrotechnical Open Software Corp. (POSC) community. The Petroleum Science and Technology Inst. (PSTI) was one of the early adopters of this technology within the E and P industry. PSTI has been constructing a basin modeling toolbox using object-oriented technologies for the last 6 years. This paper introduces the techniques, describes their use of the technology within the Hedera project, and outlines their experience of the suitability of the techniques for use within the E and P industry.

It is now common practice for engineers to use PC software to design and evaluate oilfield services. Rapidly changing technology in PC software has made it necessary for organizations to release new applications quickly to remain competitive. The authors designed a plug-and-play kernel for the computer aided design and evaluation (CADE) applications to reduce development time and time to market. The paper discusses the kernel used in the CADE software in detail.

Software investments represent a significant, if not dominant, proportion of the information technology cost within an oil and gas operating company. Technical software costs are particularly high because companies value specialized applications that have high development costs. Training and support for these applications drive up costs even more, especially if an application has not had rigorous quality control applied during its development process. Oil and gas operators then must dedicate additional internal resources for product support, which increases the product`s real cost even further. This paper shows the rigorous methods of quality control and assurance techniques involved in software development and testing and the benefits of these methods to the oil and gas technical applications` investor. The paper also illustrates how technical applications` support cost may be reduced by designing quality and stability into the software through the application of quality control techniques during the specification, design, implementation, documentation, and testing phases. Lastly, the authors discuss the metrics they used to measure the quality of the software`s performance.
