.... Strong water drive mechanisms tend to leave behind significant amounts of bypassed oil in mostly homogenous reservoirs with low level of heterogeneity causing low recovery primarily due to inefficient planning beforehand ( Desai et al., 2012 ). This brings up the concept of bypassed oil, which...

... Abstract Water Coning is a reservoir phenomenon that is particularly more challenging in reservoirs where K v /K h > 0.5. To maximize production rates and ultimate hydrocarbon recovery from its water drive reservoirs, North Kuwait shifted its exploitation strategy from vertical...

... from a known water influx rather than the reserve, and (2) the model is only applicable to infinite aquifers and does not provide a solution for the finite aquifers. A llard and Chen (1988) expanded Coats (1962) model for bottom-water drive reservoirs by presenting a constant-terminal-pressure...

... SIMULTANEOUS SOLUTION OF OIL-IN-PLACE AND WATER-INFLUX PARAMETERS FOR PARTIAL WATER DRIVE PARAMETERS FOR PARTIAL WATER DRIVE RESERVOIRS WITH INITIAL GAS CAP Abstract The application of Newton Optimization technique to volumetric balance equation is introduced. This is to determine...

... Abstract Imbibition only relative permeability is commonly used to model water influx in water-drive gas reservoirs, however an aquifer is rarely strong enough to maintain constant pressure support. Continued pressure depletion in the part of the reservoir swept with watercauses expansion...

The equations were developed for oil reservoirs depending on the dominant reservoir drive mechanism (e.g Water, Solution Gas, Gas Cap), this resulted in a publication by the API in a Bulletin D14 titled " A Statistical...

... Abstract An integrated bypassed oil identification methodology was developed and successfully applied to identify and quantify the presence of bypassed oil opportunities in mature water-drive reservoirs in an offshore field in Malaysia. A 3D reservoir static model was first built as part...

... Abstract In water-drive reservoirs, primary production may leave behind significant amount of unrecovered oil in place. Typically, reservoir heterogeneity would be considered the reason for poor recovery and water flooding would be used for remediation. However, even homogeneous reservoir...

... Abstract This paper proposes completion strategies to target the remaining oil, left behind when water invades the producing interval(s) in bottom- and edge-water-drive reservoirs. In the first option, a conventional horizontal well is completed below the gas/oil contact (GOC). Once...

... wells (MLs) more economical than single-branch horizontal wells (HWs). We simulated 5 years of production from a water-drive reservoir and evaluated the results, using a range of economic criteria. The reservoir simulator uses a multisegment wellbore model to enable better handling of complex well...
