Abstract:Development plans for UKCS viscous oil reservoirs use production profiles predicted by full-field simulation models. The use of horizontal wells, possibly combined with other IOR techniques, and the unusually high vertical permeability of many of the fields, lead to a range of issues that need to be carefully considered when building simulation models.
The strengths and weaknesses of different gridding systems, and the level of areal and vertical grid refinement that is needed, are discussed and illu… Show more
