  • Systems and methods for assessing production and/or injection system startup
    Patent number: 10415354
    Abstract: A method of modeling effects of operational procedures during startup of a fluid production or injection system at a field includes determining initial conditions of the field at a first time based on field measurements of the field. The method also includes simulating startups of the fluid production or injection system based on the initial conditions. The method further includes determining operational procedures for starting up the fluid production or injection system based on the simulated startups. The method also includes determining whether a startup command has been received. The method further includes sending instructions to startup the fluid production or injection system using the operational procedures when the startup command is received.
