Transcript An overview of the Generic Choke Model Enterprise

The Generic Choke Model
enterprise (GCMe)
What will be the value of your organisation’s annual production losses?
Where will your efforts/OPEX best be targeted in increasing production
efficiency?
GCMe will help you answer these questions and support your people in the
drive to continually Improve Performance…
About Young Light Technologies (YLT)
• A Scottish Company specialising in Production
Performance Improvement.
• Over 12 years experience in “Choke Modelling”.
• Produced the winning design for BP’s new “Production
Efficiency Improvement Toolset”.
• Beat off competition from the world’s leading IT
companies including Oracle, SAIC, Deloitte, Infosys etc.
• GCM Clients include BP Group, BHPBilliton, Nexen,
Marathon, Venture Production

Where GCMe Fits In
•With changes in product value, technology and expertise it may
become feasible to increase the Production Capacity
GCMe Supports These Processes
•Choose the production growth opportunities which will return
best value in terms of increased Production Capacity per $

GCMe Principles




GCMe is a Collaborative Performance Improvement Tool
Supports A Multi-Discipline People Process
Provides a focal point for all production (and Injection) performance issues
Harnesses the Expertise, Experience & Insight of the Offshore & Onshore
teams rather than just capturing automatically generated values
 Deals in Information rather than data
 Complements existing specialist systems – easy to integrate where
appropriate
 Covers the entire production (and injection) process from reservoir to
market
 Designed to engage users, embed ownership and most importantly,
Drive Performance Improvement.
What GCMe is NOT
Hydrocarbon Accounting System
Process Simulation Tool
Reservoir Engineering System
Wells analysis/simulation tool
Real Time data historian
Although the above systems will help provide valuable input to GCMe,
GCMe does not aim to emulate these tools.
