Optimizing Deepwater Production Systems: A Petronas Case Study Using CoFlow and CMOST

Deepwater production is not limited by the reservoir alone. It is constrained by how the entire system behaves. Optimizing production from these systems requires understanding not just reservoir performance, but how fluids move through wells, subsea networks, and surface facilities under operational constraints.

In this study, Petronas applied an Integrated Production System Modelling (IPSM) workflow using CMG CoFlow and CMOST to optimize a complex offshore asset in Malaysia.

Outcomes

• 40x faster simulation runtimes compared to legacy solution
• 16+ year production forecasting capability
• 5% increase in cumulative oil production through optimization of gas injection volume
