This paper presents the successive modeling solutions used to estimate the performance under primary and secondary recovery of the Kharyaga field. Kharyaga object 2 is characterized by different zones of heterogeneities and reservoir type: while platform margin is fractured and karstified, no karstic features are identified in the platform interior, transition zones seems the most complex. To decide on further development of the field two dynamic models of the field were developed:-Double porosity-double permeability -Single porosity-single permeability.The paper discusses advantages and disadvantages of these two approaches to predict a behavior of such a complex field. Forecast is run on these two models and the results are compared. Based on that, the conclusions and recommendations are made when it is reasonable to use one or another model for forecast.
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.
