Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2008029232A2] The present invention relates to a method in an oil and/or a gas production system comprising a plurality of oil and/or gas wells and means adapted for oil and/or gas production parameter testing. The method is adapted to compare a plurality of options related to the oil and/or gas throughput in the oil and/or gas production system, and includes the steps of: a) drawing a plurality of parameter samples from a parameter distribution; b) generating, for each parameter sample, a performance measure by using said parameter sample and a characterizer for each of said options, and c) generating an aggregated performance measure for each of said options by using said performance measures. The parameter distribution and the generation of the performance measure are preferably obtained by a Monte Carlo simulation by using historical and/or online measured and/or estimated data obtained from the oil and/or gas production system. The said data preferably includes at least oil flow rate, gas flow rate, water flow rate, liquid flow rate, gas-oil ratio, water-oil ratio, pressure, temperature, or fluid composition, or any combination thereof.
