Innovation and practice of petroleum engineering synergetic management for the development of difficult-to-produce reserves

Abstract

Abstract Due to engineering technology and development costs, a considerable amount of proven oil and gas resources in China are difficult to develop, becoming reserves difficult to produce. Based on the successful development of some domestic oil and gas reserves difficult to recover, this article summarizes the “four in one” petroleum engineering synergetic management model to promote the effective development of these reserves. This model draws on the essence of management theories, such as system theory, cybernetics and synergetic theory, and proposes the development idea of value creating and sharing for this type of reserves. By adopting the new management method of mechanism synergy, speciality synergy, process synergy and industrial chain synergy, this model effectively overcomes the decentralization of management responsibility, different management objectives, great risks of engineering and technological innovation, and the large number of uncertain factors in project construction, and can stimulate the vitality and power of active coordination of project participants, to effectively realize the synergetic innovation of engineering technology and synergetic cost reduction of the whole chain, reduction of the balanced oil price of the project, and dispersion of the project investment risk. By adopting this model, a large proportion of difficult-to-produce reserves have been liberated, realizing the effective utilization of the difficult-to-produce oil and gas resources, and making the reserves an important supplement to ensure national energy security.
