"Using discrete event simulation to optimise cementing resources: a cas" by Maclean Iral Dsouza and Mohamed K. Watfa
A standard resource configuration is to allocate one cementing package for each rig, which does not utilise the capital-intensive cement unit resource optimally. The objectives of this study are to study the economic implications of the proposed call-out strategy, an implementation of the just-in-time philosophy and develop a discrete event simulation (DES) model improve operations' efficiency. To demonstrate the practicality of our model, three case studies with real collected data over a period of five years for a leading oil and gas company in the Gulf area were considered and the rela...
