Abstract
Abstract The Choke Model is an approach to determine well potential after considering all the production system constraints. It is designed to identify production losses, network bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities. This paper shares the digital generation of the Choke Model for a mature field. The core components of the model are production potential estimate; production accounting; shortfall accounting and opportunities materialization. The solution leverages the already deployed cloud systems to define the individual choke capacity —reservoir, well, plant, export and, commercial—. A combination of in-house coding and industry-standard software solutions set a new path to add value with digital capabilities and offers. The solution automated the Asset's choke model using python codes, compiling results in an interactive dashboard with the most frequent —usually daily— updated production potential. The dashboard grouping and analytics allows quick visualization of opportunities, (i.e. workover candidates such as matrix stimulations, hydraulic fractures and reperforation jobs). The impact included rising awarness of capacity constraints along production system, prioritization based on feasible execution; and better work-life balance for team members; with the corresponding monetary surplus.
