The paper presents the results achieved throughout implementation of the project aimed at increasing production of hard-to-recover reserves with the use of automation aids. Permanently updated geological and reservoir model which was created in 2009 and updated in 2011 is used to evaluate reservoir behavior, identify residual oil zones and forecast measures enabling optimized well productivity. To select optimal production enhancement strategies both in-house software packages and available ROXAR software solutions are used.
Key words: permanently updated geological and reservoir model, geological and simulation model, forecast calculations, development options, automation aids, EnABLE software
