Optimizing the development phase, and thus improving the profitability, of Amoco Exploration and Production Co.`s Glenwood natural gas field was the task assigned to a multidisciplinary reservoir management team (RMT) in 1996. The team`s primary emphasis was to strategically locate and fracture-stimulate the remaining wells to be drilled in Glenwood field`s initial development phase. This article illustrates the team process used and decisions made that led to field cost savings and production improvements before year end 1996. Thorough data collection and evaluation were critical project elements and enabled the field`s hydraulic fracturing program to be modified, thus improving incremental production and eliminating ineffective fracturing costs.
