GC1Mr. Ahmad Al-Jasmi, Team Leader R&T (S) WelcomesTeam Leaders to Burgan Collaboration CenterMr. Ahmad Al-Jasmi, Team Leader R&T (S) welcomed Mr.Badar Al Telaihi, Team Leader PO (EK-II), Mr. Sadoun Al Khaledi,Team Leader OTS (SEK), and Mr. Abdullah Al Saleh, TeamLeader Maintenance (EK) for a guided tour of the BurganCollaboration Center. The feedback was encouraginglypositive.Shifting the way we thinkabout optimizing wellperformance – Tubing HeadPressureTypically, within the oilfield industry, flow conditions inthe well are controlled by the degree at which the chokeis opened. The choke opening is used to set the desiredtubing head pressure (THP). However, the calculations forthe choke open can be inaccurate due to the complexnature of multiphase flow through the choke; as a resultthe choke settings rarely achieve the exact THP intended.Field Developmentreceived CWEequipment trainingand EQ WorkshopIn KwIDF GC-1, we are monitoring the THP in real-time,which enables us to monitor and control the well basedon a ‘true’ accurate control parameter. For example, insteadof traditionally developing a system that looks at the well’soptimal condition as XYZ/64th choke position; KOC lookat the well’s optimal condition as a XYZ PSI THP.The added benefit of this type of measurement is we canassess the stability of the well and monitor its overallbehaviour by the level of fluctuations in the THP.Defining optimal THP rather than choke position maximizesthe potential to optimize well performance.A KwIDF GC1 Collaboration workshop was conductedwith the FD and PO team to establish the newCollaborating Working Environment (CWE) Code ofConduct and to introduce a new approach tobehavioural decision-making. The session also exploredguidelines in self awareness to enhance the best workingdynamics within the team working environment.PAGE 11Kuwait Oil Company
