Abstract:One of the key uncertainties that impacts reservoir development and waterflood performance in a thick reservoir is vertical transmissibility across the stylolitic intervals. It is not clearly understood whether low vertical permeability or negative capillary pressure across stylolites holds the water from slumping, because both the realizations could achieve good history matches of observed well performances (water cut and pressure except MDT/RFT) in the simulation model. It is, therefore, crucial to calibrate… Show more
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.
