Abstract:This paper presents the history matching of a clean-up operation of a long horizontal oil well at the Oselvar field in the North Sea using a commercial multiphase flow simulator. Data recorded during the actual clean-up is presented in the paper, and is compared with simulation results.Well clean-up is the process of flowing the drilling and completion fluids out of a new well, removing formation damage and filling the well with formation fluids. The role of upfront simulation of well clean-up is to optimize t… Show more
