Flowing Pressure and Incremental Recovery Options

Introduction

Incremental recovery usually represents a scenario in which additional hydrocarbons are recovered by changing operational or facility conditions. For instance, a compressor may reduce the back-pressure against the well allowing more gas to be recovered.

Simulate Compression

In the plots below, the flowing pressure for the well is change from 500 to 200 psia on day 150. For a 300 day forecast, the EUR results are quite different.
