If there is no armual training, then the use of SOPs may instill confidence in the workers that they have a way of refreshing their memories on how to do their tasks. When changing procedures, update the SOP to assure that the ehanged proeedure is performed safely. A checklist is one form of SOP. The checklist is very effective when you are trying make sure that every step is being accomplished. 

Once production commences, data such as reservoir pressure, cumulative production, GOR, water cut and fluid contact movement are collected, and may be used to history match the simulation model. This entails adjusting the reservoir model to fit the observed data. The updated model may then be used for a more accurate prediction of future performance. This procedure is cyclic, and a full field reservoir simulation model will be updated whenever a significant amount of new data becomes available (say, every two to five years). 

The skeletal LN procedure is a dual timestep scheme, At, Atm, of two practical tasks (a) constructing the Hessian H in system (17) every Atm interval, and (b) solving system (17), where R is given by eq. (3), at the timestep At by procedure (23) outlined for LIN above. When a force-splitting procedure is also applied to LN, a value At > Atm is used to update the slow forces less often than the linearized model. A suitable frequency for the linearization is 1-3 fs (the smaller value is used for water systems), and the appropriate inner timestep is 0.5 fs, as in LIN. This inner timestep parallels the update frequency of the fast motions in force splitting approaches, and the linearization frequency Atm) is analogous to the medium timestep used in such three-class schemes (see below).

To avoid imposition of unrealistic exit boundary conditions in flow models Taylor et al. (1985) developed a method called traction boundary conditions . In this method starting from an initial guess, outflow condition is updated in an iterative procedure which ensures its consistency with the flow regime immediately upstream. This method is successfully applied to solve a number of turbulent flow problems.

The development of an SC procedure involves a number of important decisions (1) What variables should be used (2) What equations should be used (3) How should variables be ordered (4) How should equations be ordered (5) How should flexibility in specifications be provided (6) Which derivatives of physical properties should be retained (7) How should equations be linearized (8) If Newton or quasi-Newton hnearization techniques are employed, how should the Jacobian be updated (9) Should corrections to unknowns that are computed at each iteration be modified to dampen or accelerate the solution or be kept within certain bounds (10) What convergence criterion should be applied ... 

Arrester Testing and Standards Regulatory and approval agencies and insurers impose acceptance testing requirements, sometimes as part of certification standards. The user may also request testing to demonstrate specific performance needs, just as the manufacturer can help develop standards. These interrelationships have resulted in several new and updated performance test procedures. Listing of an arrester by a testing laboratoiy refers only to performance under a defined set of test conditions. The flame arrester user should develop specific application requirements based on the service involved and the safety and risk criteria adopted.
