The offshore Field-A Gas Development Project is an integral part of the Abu Dhabi Deep Gas Project targeting untapped hydrocarbon reserves with priority given to gas reservoirs to satisfy an increasing gas demand and sustain economic growth of Abu Dhabi Emirate.
Well test data from Field-A Khuff Formation cannot be modeled solely using a matrix based porosity system and requires the presence of fracture network to give a "mixed" porosity system to explain the observed flow test results. To assess this a subsurface study was initiated to incorporate fractures within the matrix porosity based 3D reservoir model and to examine different methods of populating fracture distributions across the geologic model. The ultimate aim of this work was to more accurately predict gas rates to better understand and mitigate rate uncertainties across a range of development scenarios.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
