ABSTRACT

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) began to restrict production as a response to the global pandemic. This resulted in the forced slowing down of numerous oilfield developments, as well as the closure of many oil operations. According to the reservoir's operators, a strenuous shut-in of the well will result in an imbalance in the subsurface fluid system of the reservoir, as well as a redistribution of the oil-water system and pressure potential field. Production curtailment, on the other hand, will be estimated to have reduced at long last. When wells are shut down and production is restarted in the future, it is necessary to efficiently recover production. It is also necessary to regulate the water cut of the reservoir and guarantee that the reservoir's development progresses in a balanced manner. This study provides a strategy for managing the sequence in which oil producers resume production, based on the use of essential indicators of single well development as evaluation criteria and the comprehensive evaluation score approach. The method is intended to instruct oil producers that are resuming production in terms of optimizing their production sequence. According to the findings of the prediction and comparison, it has been discovered that optimizing the sequence has a significant impact on oil output, with the water cut effectively decreasing by 5 percent under the same oil production scenarios.
