Knowledge Check

1. What is the primary benefit of cloud-based seismic processing?

It eliminates the need for sensors It reduces processing time from weeks to days It replaces geoscientists entirely It only works for onshore fields

2. What do MWD/LWD tools measure during drilling?

Production rates at the surface Downhole parameters like inclination, azimuth, and formation properties in real time The price of oil Seismic wave velocities

3. What is non-productive time (NPT) in drilling?

Time spent drilling ahead Time lost to problems like stuck pipe, equipment failures, or waiting on weather The time between shifts Time spent on well planning

4. How does a field-wide production optimiser increase output?

By drilling new wells By reallocating resources like gas lift across wells to maximise total field production By increasing the oil price By shutting down low-performing wells permanently

5. What is history matching in reservoir management?

Recording the dates of all well completions Calibrating a simulation model so it reproduces actual historical production data Comparing two different oilfields Tracking employee work history

6. What is the goal of closed-loop reservoir management?

To close all wells permanently To automatically update reservoir models with real-time data and optimise production strategies To replace all reservoir engineers with AI To reduce the number of sensors in a field
