Multireservoir, Multinetwork Production Optimization of an Omani Reservoir

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.

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.
