An innovative multi-deterministic scenario workflow was applied to one of the giant and complex carbonate reservoirs in the Middle East. The application of this workflow had the objective to quantify how geological uncertainties and different modelling decisions impact the sto ...
Macro insights from interval pressure transient tests
Deriving key near-wellbore fracture parameters in a light oil reservoir offshore Norway
Fractures can be first-order controls on fluid flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs. Understanding the characteristics of fractures such as their aperture, density, distribution, conductivity, connectivity, etc, is key for reservoir engineering and production analysis. Well testing ...
A geological well testing model containing fractures and matrix was built to match an observed complex well test response in a reservoir that was known to be fractured. The resulting match of a well intersecting minor fractures near a major fracture was considered a good match ...
We apply a new and geologically consistent workflow to re-evaluate the saturation distribution in a giant and complex carbonate reservoir from the Middle East that comprises a thick transition zone. The workflow makes use of all the available capillary pressure, porosity, and ...
Naturally fractured reservoirs (NFRs) account for a significant amount of the world conventional reserves but suffer from low recovery factors. Multiple techniques are, often in combination, used to detect the presence and extent of fractures in a reservoir. Of particular inte ...
Obtaining a fit-for-purpose rock-type classification that adequately incorporates the key depositional and diagenetic heterogeneities is a prime challenge for carbonate reservoirs. Another prevailing issue is to integrate the static and dynamic data consistently with the rock- ...
In this study we have employed an integrated near wellbore upscaling and dynamic calibration workflow to resolve the persisting uncertainty concerning the apparent enhanced permeability in a large offshore carbonate field. Geological heterogeneities with the potential to radic ...
Porosity and permeability of carbonate sediments evolve markedly with burial depth, reflecting the combined effects of mechanical compaction, chemical compaction, dissolution and cementation. While trends in porosity change with depth can be qualified, the evolution of permeab ...
Benchmark problems have been generated to test a number of issues related to predicting reservoir behaviour (e.g. Floris et al., 2001, Christie and Blunt, 2001, Peters et al., 2010). However, such cases are usually focused on a particular aspect of the reservoir model (e.g. up ...
