Newbie in PIPESIM: Calibrating the model

[Aries]

Hello everyone:

I have got my first simple well model (from reservoir up to wellhead) in PIPESIM constructed. I provided all the necessary data to start it working. My first attempt showed that it did not matched my observed liquid rates. What are the parameters that I need to tweak in order to calibrate my model?. PI's seems reasonable and it is from Build Up test.

Can anyone help me. Thanks.

Hello Aries:

to calibrate youur model :

you need first of all , to calibrate your Productivity index or IPR like by using multirate test .

then calibrate the PVT model by laboratory measurements

then then select the best colerration for the vertical flow performances by matching it to the Pressure or tempreture survey

then try to match the surface well test by playing on for example the Holdup and Friction factors .

you are welcome man.....

hello oilimad,

your explanation was perfect. but there is also a misunderstanding!

1- I can match the flowing correlation by using 2-different values for Hf & Ff ?
and, this is the important & vital subject... because there are many uncertainties due to variable Hf & Ff...
so, what should we do???
