Abstract The information flow used for optimization of an offshore oil production plant is described. The elements in this description include data acquisition, data storage, processing facility model updating, well model updating, reservoir model updating, production planning, reservoir planning, and strategic planning. Methods for well allocation, gas lift and gas/water injection optimization and updating of the models are reviewed in relationship with the information flow described. Challenges of real time optimization are discussed.
