Abstract
The primary objective of this work is to perform a complete characterization of the Womack Hill (oil) Field in Southern Alabama using petrophysical and reservoir performance data — and to provide reservoir management strategies that lead to improved oil recovery at Womack Hill Field. The process for achieving this goal requires the following specific objectives:
To develop correlations between the core and well log data in order to generate spatial distributions of reservoir properties such as: porosity, permeability, net pay, etc.
To analyze the production history on a per well basis using the decline type curve technique which provides estimates of the following properties:
- —
Oil-in-place (N),
- —
Effective permeability (k),
- —
Flow capacity (kh),
- —
Reservoir drainage area (A), and
- —
Near-well skin factor (5).
- —
To determine the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (or EUR) for each well using the historical production data. The EUR is used to establish the volume of recoverable oil-in-place.
To draw conclusions and provide recommendations regarding infill drilling, well completions, and production practices based on the results of integrating the geological data and the production history analysis.
