This paper reviews the design and implementation of a full-field interwell tracer program for a giant onshore oil field in Abu Dhabi.

With the recent drop in oil prices, operators are shifting to optimization of existing assets with minimal costs. For mature floods (water, chemical, and CO2), one low-cost optimization strategy is the intelligent adjustment of well-rate targets.

In this paper, the authors introduce a novel semianalytic approach to compute the sensitivity of the bottomhole pressure (BHP) data with respect to gridblock properties.

Although principal-component analysis (PCA) has been applied widely to reduce the number of parameters characterizing a reservoir, its disadvantages are well-recognized.
