Abstract
Nowadays, geological and reservoir models are essential tools used for the design and the optimization of oil and gas field development. At the same time, building reservoir model is technically complex and requires nontrivial approaches and solutions. This paper describes the experience of using modeling to support drilling and development optimization of one of the most complex reservoirs in Gulf of Suez.
A distinctive feature of the publication is a compilation of tools of geological and simulation modeling, including experience in dealing with applications for the period from the start of field development to the end of production in addition to different development alternatives which helped in achieving the maximum hydrocarbon production.
Approaches to the building of geological and simulation models of a complex productive formation are described. These models incorporate a large number of different facies data, which was used to manage uncertainties and risks accompanied with the field development.
This paper sheds light on significance of integration between Geological and Dynamic data, which helped a lot in managing key uncertainties and risks by generating different development scenarios and applying different options.
Finally, the model was used to propose a full realization for developing the field and increase the oil production.
