The The Optimum Reservoir Performance of Nahr Umr/Ratawi Oil Field

Abstract

Reservoir study has been developed in order to get a full interesting of the Nahr Umr formation in Ratawi oil field. Oil in place has been calculated for Nahr Umr which was 2981.37 MM BBL. Several runs have been performed to get matching between measured and calculated of oil production data and well test pressure. In order to get the optimum performance of Nahr Umr many strategies have been proposed in this study where vertical and horizontal wells were involved in addition to different production rates. The reservoir was first assumed to be developed with vertical wells only using production rate of (80000–125000) STB/day. The reservoir is also proposed to produce using horizontal wells besides vertical wells with production rate of (80000-150000) STB/day. The best strategy was by adding 33 new vertical wells and 5 horizontal wells beside the 11 existing wells where the results show oil plateau of 9 years and 7 months and recovery factor of 3.4%.

Methods Used to Estimate Reservoir Pressure Performance: A Review

“…Reservoir simulation combines mathematics, physics, reservoir management, and computer programming to mimic and visualize an actual reservoir performance and forecast future performance. Simulation has become the unsurpassed approach for describing multiphase, complicated heterogeneous reservoirs (Jemeel et al, 2020). Reservoir simulators are essential tools for carrying out early development plans, history matching, improving reservoir performance, and planning and assessing the performance of the reservoir system (Sapale et al, 2019).…”

“…(Ali et al, 2015;Hamdullah et al, 2020). Since oil production is a very uncertain process, capital decision-making is crucial.…”
