46 Dynamic Wells Modelling Watercut Limit for Kick-off / Shut-in Segragation OLGA is a powerful tool for establishing the watercut limits for which the well would not produce at steady state and where it would not kick off – investigate a future kick-off problem –Gas Lift will be require at some time in the future in order to kick-off the wells –Wells will encounter kick-off problems at a lower watercut than their their natural flow limit –Determining the kick-off limits is a key issue for determining the optimum gas lift implementation schedule The installation cost of a GL system to support the kick-off of the well is high and deferring this expenditure is of high NPV ($MM).
