Integrated reservoir and production modeling can be beneficial in conducting production forecasting for complex systems consisting of multiple reservoirs, fluid mixing, and complex production networks. In the complete paper, a new, fully coupled implicit tool was used to model an onshore Omani asset with multiple reservoirs, each featuring different fluids and multiple networks. A multifidelity approach was used throughout the modeling work flow, incorporating reservoir- and production-related uncertainty in the forecast and optimization processes.
Introduction
Petroleum Development Oman operates, in the south of the country, the Southern Sour cluster of high-pressure, highly sour oil fields. These fields are currently produced by what is known as the H Station.
