Real-time production surveillance and optimization requires availability of predictive well models with reasonable accuracy that can estimate production rates in response to change in operating conditions. These models that are mostly physics based are parameterized in terms of gas oil ratio (GOR), water cut (WC), productivity index (PI), and reservoir pressure. Further, the models are tuned using measured data namely production rates of oil, water, gas, and pressure measurements such as downhole gauge pressure, wellhead and flowline pressures that are captured during a well test. For mature oil fields where, well tests are infrequent or sensors start malfunctioning, relevant data required for model tuning is no longer available. In absence of updated models, real-time predictions tend to deviate with time compared to the observed data resulting in less reliable well rate allocation and production optimization recommendations, if any. This work describes a regression-based technique and its application for predicting quantitative as well as directional changes in well parameters between well tests that can be used to improve well allocations. A regression method that estimates well parameters while minimizing a non-linear least square loss function derived from deviation between measured and model-based estimates of rate and pressure data is implemented. The method can estimate well parameters for both an individual and multiple wells simultaneously while solving for a network of wells connected to production separator using IPM GAP. The application of the method to a subsea asset is demonstrated while evaluating its performance for different scenarios comprising variation in number of wells and well parameters. Additionally, the capability of the method to predict directional changes in well parameters is demonstrated by validating it against historical data. The estimates from regression method were found within 5% difference compared to well parameters obtained f

Industry-wide, the degradation and corrosion of steel infrastructure and the associated maintenance to prevent or mitigate this, poses a heavy environmental and operational burden across many industry segments. To address these challenges, ADNOC Group technology, led by our Non-Metallic Steering Committee and ADNOC Upstream, in partnership with several selected specialist product companies, is deploying a range of innovative solutions as pilot trials within a holistic R&D program - which is aiming to transform our production and processing facilities, with a close focus on integrity management - and specifically we are assessing the deployment of non-metallic pipelines, storage and process vessels as well as downhole tubing and casing. Focusing specifically on flowlines and pipelines - traditional steel pipes used in the oil patch are burdensome to store, transport and install, as well as susceptible to degradation, corrosion-driven wall loss in challenging operational environments, such as those found Onshore and Offshore Abu Dhabi. This vulnerability results in increased operating risks as facilities mature, adding cost and time for inspection, maintenance and eventually - replacements that will lead to production deferrals or interruptions. A range of non-metallic pipeline technologies are being assessed and piloted in this program, including stand-alone extruded polymeric pipe and liners, Reinforced Thermoplastic Pipe (RTP) used Onshore and Offshore, specialized non-metallic flexible pipelines for Offshore including Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) and downhole tubulars. The methodology involves placing segments of RTP into live pipeline systems for a finite duration of operation - usually one year - and then removing sections to assess any degradation in performance, or capability of the RTP during that time. These test results will be the subject of a further publication at the end of this trial period. In this paper, we will focus on RTP piloting Onshore an
