Optimize NPV, water, gas and energy at once, for every realization of your field

Well control plans that raise NPV and cut water and gas handling and energy use at the same time, with a fraction of the simulation runs a conventional optimization needs. Every plan is verified in OPM Flow.

Why it is different

  • Several objectivesnot just NPV

    A conventional optimization returns one plan, judged by NPV alone. We deliver several plans at the best NPV that also reduce water and gas handling and energy use, or delay water breakthrough, so your team chooses by what NPV does not capture: facilities, operations and risk.

  • Every realizationnot just one

    A conventional optimization of one realization takes hundreds to thousands of simulation runs, so ensembles are rarely optimized realization by realization. We optimize each realization with a small fraction of those runs, and re-optimize new or updated realizations as your history match changes.

  • Verified in your simulatorbenchmarked against a tool you trust

    Every plan and number we deliver is a full OPM Flow run, not a model estimate. Every study includes a conventional Everest optimization of your model, so you can compare, reproduce and audit our results.

What you get

  • Higher-NPV plansthan the conventional benchmark, for each realization.
  • Several plans at the same NPVwith less water and gas handling, less energy use, or later water breakthrough.
  • The uncertainty pictureP10/P50/P90 of the optimal NPV and of each production measure across your ensemble, and how each realization’s best plan performs on the others.
  • A study that stays currentNew or updated realizations re-optimized with a small fraction of the runs.
  • What-if screeningSend us any schedule, including your current plan, and we return its expected NPV, oil, gas, water and energy; the plans you decide on are confirmed in OPM Flow.

Results on the Norne field model

On the public Norne model (16 wells, 10 years), compared with a conventional Everest optimization with the same economics.

+7.8 % NPV
over the best benchmark plan
6–11 % less gas produced5–10 % less gas injected, 4–9 % less energy
in alternative plans that keep the NPV within 0.5 %
Water breakthrough from month 1 to month 28–32
in four of five alternative plans
Under 100 simulation runs
to optimize a new geological realization
Bar chart: best NPV of five Everest benchmark runs (2,546 to 2,765 million USD) and our best plan at 2,981 million USD, 7.8 % higher.
Best NPV of each Everest benchmark run (grey) and of our best plan (blue), million USD at illustrative prices.

Every number is an OPM Flow result. Prices are illustrative; the relative improvements are the result.

How we work

  1. Scope

    A 20-minute call about your field, your decisions and the measures you want to improve.

  2. Pilot

    A short study on one of your fields, with success criteria agreed up front.

  3. Delivery

    Plans, production profiles and the benchmark comparison, all as OPM Flow runs your team can rerun.

Who it is for

Reservoir engineering and asset teams who own the development plan and its uncertainty, and the reservoir-study consultancies who support them.
