    INTRODUCTION

    ASCARA Energy is an energy company with oil and gas as one of its main
    energy sectors. This company has been operating oil well ASCARA-20 since
    1960 which is located in Offshore East Kalimantan. As a Petroleum
    Engineer in ASCARA Energy, you are responsible and assigned to optimize
    ASCARA-20 oil production.

    WELL ASCARA-20 CASE


    ASCARA-20 is an oil well that has been produced naturally for years. Lately,
    ASCARA Energy faced a problem where ASCARA-20 couldn't produce oil
    naturally. Latest PT test showed that the reservoir pressure is depleted
    throughout its production time. Some suspects were made regarding the
    production problem. The team is assigned to do a comprehensive
    evaluation for this well production problem and the management ordered
    the team to evaluate the application of gas lift for this well problem.
    Furthermore, The completion of ASCARA-20 isn’t equipped with Side
    Pocket Mandrel (SPM). The job for your team is to evaluate and design the
    most optimum gas lift method to bring back ASCARA-20 to produce oil. In
    addition, ACSARA-20 will only be operated at 200 psig flowing wellhead
    pressure. It is important to consider the usage of gas supply as optimum as
    your team could do to achieve the optimum oil production rate
    throughout the year. A comprehensive pitching report is expected to be
    made and economic calculation is considered as a plus point.

    In your report, please present important points listed below:


    1. Well ASCARA-20 production problem evaluation & proposed solution
    2. Visualization and nodal analysis of well ASCARA-20 recent condition
    (IPR and TPR)
    3. Gas lift design. Analyze and explain the team’s gas lift method
    selection
    4. Gas Lift Performance Curve (GLPC). Please elaborate the usage of
    GLPC as a consideration for your team gas lift design (example : Gas
    lift Injection rate)
    5. Technical sensitivity analysis of design/reservoir parameters (include
    at least 3 parameters which affect the production of ASCARA-20)
    6. Simple economic calculations. At least includes:
    - Profit in 1 year ( prediction calculation using GAP software)
    - Pay out time
    - [BONUS] Calculate the NPV and IRR, explain the feasibility of
    the project based on NPV and IRR gathered
    Using the assumption of as below:
    ● Oil price : 70 USD/STB
    ● Lifting cost : 25 USD/STB
    ● Gas lift injection price : 5 USD/MMSCF
    ● Workover cost : 350,000 USD
    ● Discount rate : 1%/month
    ● Apply change of gas lift injection rate every 3 months
