Sažetak
New techniques, capable of characterizing reservoirs in real time, are needed to utilize the dynamic nature of upstream oil operations and minimize the degree of uncertainty around existing reservoir models using high density of data continuously generated by smart technology. The primary objective of a reservoir study is to predict future performance of a reservoir and find the ways and means of increasing ultimate recovery.
Simulation uses a lot more than just the design and use of a good reservoir model to analyze a process, be it an oil reservoir system or a network-switching problem. More realistically, simulation is a process where engineer integrates several factors to produce information and on the basis of that managers can make reliable decisions. At all points along the way engineer should be on the top of situation.
Reservoir simulation technology is being constantly improved and enhanced. New models, able to simulate more and more complex recovery schemes, are proposed continuously. In this study waterflooding of five-spot pattern has been used to increase recovery and maintain pressure to sustain the required production rate.
