Description: An integrated forecasting model determined the most economical compression to install in a Gulf of Mexico gas field. The gas contract for the field, operated by E.P. Operating Co., required sufficient compression to maintain a deliverability of 67 MMscfd. Needed compression must be evaluated over the life of a field. A compressor sized for current conditions invariably is not the most economical choice. To model a gas field properly, the overall system must include: 1. reservoir performance, 2. sandface inflow performance, 3. multiphase well bore pressure losses, 4. multiphase gathering system pressure losses, and 5. field facility performance. The forecasting model, Forgas, integrated these items into a single data file. An integrated approach can accurately evaluate various development strategies as easily and quickly as commonly used approximate methods. In this approach to allow timely installation of needed equipment, the effects of time and cumulative production are incorporated to determine the economic optimum field development for the entire life.
