Automated Reservoir Model Calibration for Field Development Plan Evaluation Under Subsurface Uncertainty Applied to a Complex Multi-Zones Heavy Oil Field
Abstract:Rubiales is a major heavy oil field in Colombia with an OOIP larger than 5000 MSTB (Stanko, and others, 2015). The field produces from six zones mainly with horizontal wells. Production is driven by a strong aquifer which causes tilted oil-water-contact and early water breakthrough. Fully integrated reservoir modelling for field development optimization under subsurface uncertainty has been a major challenge so far. This paper presents an automated calibration process, probabilistic infill well ranking and loc… Show more
