Field Production Optimization Using Agent Based Simulation Training

  • Overview

INTRODUCTION

Our understanding of real-world systems must advance along with their complexity. In order to boost productivity and efficiency, problems that are frequently encountered in the oil and gas exploration, production, and transportation industries must be optimized. The oil and gas industry needs ongoing innovation across the board, as well as an update of current procedures and the adoption of new technology advancements.

Even though they are meant to remove problems, process upgrades and innovation implementation typically interfere with ongoing projects and cause delays, which frustrates users and makes implementation difficult. On the other hand, failing to incorporate innovation, cutting back on research, and failing to update procedures endangers long-term profitability. By enabling analysis, optimization, and experimentation in a setting that can accurately capture the details of operations in a risk-free environment, companies can implement changes and analyze them without disrupting production, and issues and risks can be identified and addressed at the project's outset, before they surface in real-world implementation..

COURSE OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

  • Understanding the distinctions between Agent-based, system dynamic, and discrete event modeling;
  • learning optimization methodologies and tools;
  • Becoming proficient with AnyLogic software.
  • Understand how to replicate a whole oil and gas field;
  • Recognize the possibilities of a multi-method simulation strategy;
