Introduction – What is Avalon ? Avalon is an advanced, nodal analysis program that can generate nodal analysis curves for determining the deliverability of oil and gas wells under different produced fluid and reservoir compositions, for different well bore and pipeline arrangements. Avalon can be used as a stand alone application where well bore hydraulic and average reservoir performance curves can determine fluid deliverabilities at various stages. Avalon also brings some unique abilities that are not contained in most nodal analysis packages. Avalon has a transparent link to the simulator which allows horizontal flow lines to be interactively designed using the well locations in the simulator. These nodal curves can be automatically linked to various wells in the simulator, allowing users to optimize reservoir performance with accuracies not possible in Avalon alone. For example the simple reservoir pressure drop equations used in Avalon’s reservoir module calculations are replaced by the sophisticated reservoir model in Merlin. With this link Avalon has the ability to optimize well tubing designs not only on an average well design basis, but on an individual well basis in a complicated reservoir with many heterogeneities. The Avalon nodal analysis program can be used for 3 fundamental tasks. The first task is basic tubing curve design with an option to include simple radial flow equations for representing the reservoir. The second task is basic tubing curve design including two sensitivity variables. Lastly tubing curves can be calculated and assigned to the reservoir simulator automatically. The real power of Avalon lies in its ability to quickly and efficiently link to the reservoir simulator to allow precise optimal tubing curves to be designed on a well by well basis taking into account the reservoir heterogeneities.
