Reservoir
Having had the privilege of reviewing reservoir surveillance papers over recent years, I see one message becoming increasingly clear: The industry is no longer short of measurements; the real challenge is converting them into timely reservoir decisions that protect value.
This paper presents a case study from a mature field redevelopment project where pulsed neutron logging was integrated with advanced reservoir modeling to improve the understanding of fluid-contact dynamics and optimize new horizontal well placement.
This paper aims to showcase examples of how integrated analysis of surveillance data in the Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli field has improved reservoir understanding and informed reservoir-management decisions.
