Production Optimization
Maximize recovery and extend asset life
Balance reservoir, performance, and economics to maximize value over time.
Production optimization is not a single activity; it evolves over the life of the well. Early-time performance, mid-life decline behavior, and late-life operating constraints all demand different decisions, informed by different data and assumptions.
Reservoir response, wellbore condition, operating strategy, and economic thresholds are often evaluated in isolation, with insight spread across surveillance systems, models, and spreadsheets. As conditions change, opportunities are missed, and interventions are delayed.
Spotfire supports integrated production optimization workflows by bringing performance, condition, and economic insight together in one visual environment, helping teams understand how wells behave over time and where intervention delivers the greatest value.
Understanding how wells perform from startup through decline is critical for optimizing recovery and planning interventions. Spotfire helps teams connect early-time performance, decline behavior, and operating conditions to identify trends, diagnose issues, and prioritize actions across the life of the well.
Typical upstream scenario
Wells exhibit changing behavior over time due to reservoir depletion, formation damage, equipment wear, and operating strategy. Early indicators of underperformance or opportunity are often missed when performance data is viewed in isolation.
What changes with a unified environment
Spotfire connects production trends, decline behavior, well test results, operating conditions, and economic thresholds in one visual context. Teams can detect deviation earlier, understand root causes, and prioritize interventions that deliver the greatest value across the well lifecycle.
Well trajectory decisions influence production performance, recovery, and operating risk, yet trajectory optimization often relies on limited feedback from production and reservoir response. Spotfire helps teams connect trajectory choices to performance outcomes, supporting continuous optimization across development programs.
Typical upstream scenario
Well trajectory decisions are influenced by geological uncertainty, spacing constraints, and development patterns. Feedback from production and reservoir response is often slow to inform future well placement.
What changes with a unified environment
Spotfire enables teams to analyze trajectory choices alongside production performance, reservoir response, and spatial context. This supports faster learning across wells, improved placement decisions, and reduced variability in production outcomes.
Spotfire doesn’t replace production surveillance systems or engineering models. It connects and augments them.
By unifying production behavior, well condition, reservoir response, and economics into a single decision layer, Spotfire helps upstream teams optimize production throughout the asset lifecycle, improving recovery, reducing risk, and extending asset value.
