AbstractThis paper demonstrates how I-Field capabilities were used to monitor in real time pre-injection performance of eight reservoirs across the three AFK fields. Focus will be on illustrating one I-Field workflow used to monitor injection from real time data gathering, validation, and mapping using Permanent Downhole Monitoring Systems (PDHMS), and integrated surface & subsurface modeling and data mapping packages. Additionally, the paper will address how integrated real time data and modeling results are used to optimize injection strategy for the three fields for more efficient real time reservoir management.

With the ever growing demand for energy in the world, the need for timely and accurate data from oil fields to allow proper decision making becomes very crucial. Recent evolution in oil field technologies has made a great revolution in the oil and gas industry all over the world, leading to the emerging development of intelligent fields (I-Fields) 1-4 . The integration of I-Field technologies, whether downhole or at surface, coupled with communication networks along with sophisticated simulation and monitoring applications has led to significant advancements not only in monitoring and control capabilities, but rather also in decision making processes 5 . Therefore, the overall system upgrade has resulted in an enhancement of the field surveillance, which will lead to higher levels of oil production in these assets as a consequence of Saudi Aramco's development strategy for these fields.
