History Match
Assumptions: Infinite high permeability aquifer down dip Original oil in place adjusted up to 11.1 MMBO Original Free Gas in Place = 12 BCF Adjusted oil zone porosity from 30% to 35%
Vertical Fluid Movement Time Across and Cross Section Down – X direction, on strike
Vertical Fluid Movement Downdip to Updip – Y direction
Vertical Fluid Movement Through producing well – X direction, on strike
Vertical Fluid Movement Through Producing Well – Updip to Downdip
Contour Map Layer 1 – Gas Cap Oil movement into gas cap
Contour Map Layer 2 – Gas Cap Oil movement into gas cap
Contour Map Layer 3 – Oil Zone Water movement into oil zone
Contour Map Layer 4 – Oil Zone Water movement into oil zone
Contour Map Layer 5 – Oil Zone Water movement into oil zone
Contour Map Layer 6 – Oil Zone Water movement into oil zone
Contour Map Layer 7 – Oil Zone Water movement into oil zone
Res A 37 Predictive Run Remaining oil reserves: 700 MMBO for 1000 psi flowing bottom hole abandonment
Res A 37 – Yearly Production
Res A 37 Conclusions 700 MMBO reserves 1000 psi flowing bottom hole abandonment 39% ultimate oil recovery factor with current well Bypassed reserves may exist significant oil volume may have moved to the gas cap Quick study possible < 2 man days
Res A 37 Recommendations: Improve water/gas history match further Explore additional wells to recover bypassed oil in gas cap Explore possibility that oil in place is higher ( especially in southwest quadrant ) history match would still be possible gas and water match could be improved further new drilling location may be possible
