Infill drilling and well placement assessment for a multi-layered heterogeneous reservoir

Abstract This paper presents an assessment of infill drilling opportunities in a complex multi-layered heterogeneous carbonate formation located Abu Dhabi offshore. The subject field was developed last century and is currently undergoing further development with line drive horizontal wells. being redeveloped for improved oil recovery at higher production rates long An process defined using sector model reservoir simulations the specific reservoir. Reservoir are performed on pattern models to establish optimum grid evaluation. Also, appropriate size used optimize placement (vertical lateral well placement) timing couple geologically similar areas. In second step, results applied test full-field plan. relatively homogeneous geological area shows very uniform displacement 1-km spaced wells gives no considerable benefit incremental through drilling. However, comparatively area, quantified. brief, this detailed workflow re-development
