According to reservoir engineering regulations, design projects should be based on permanently upd ated geological-and-reservoir models. This paper analyzes model dataware based on well logging and offse t well drilling.
This paper discusses the effect of grid size on reservoir properties heterogeneity using three methods:
- qualitative evaluation from probability density diagram
- quantitative estimation of the system entropy
- quantitative estimation from variation coefficient
It has been shown that grid refinement doesn’t result in simulated reservoir heterogeneity growth. When input data are entered into the grid, simulated heterogeneity decrease rate doesn’t change with increase of actual reservoir heterogeneity. Permeability distribution is fractal and hyperbolic. Fractal distribution can not be simulated by deterministic methods. Stochastic models shall be used to take into account the effect of well spacing on oil recovery efficiency.
