Field development plans has been made on base of numerical reservoir models for many years in Russia. Nevertheless poor quality of lots of models makes them unable to provide reliable production forecast and optimize reservoir management. This is one of the reasons of relatively low recovery on fields in Russia. Numerical reservoir models quality can be significantly increased by wider usage of well-test and production-logging results for reservoir modeling.

JSC «Gazprom Neft» field example of carbonate reservoir shows that well-test and production-logging results can significantly decrease uncertainty in reservoir modeling and increase forecast reliability.
