ABSTRACT

Location of an oil-water contact is crucial for estimating reserves and for Previous HitdesigningTop production strategies. Identifying hydrodynamic barriers or baffles is also important for optimizing both recovery and flow rates. In some oil fields, identifying fluid contacts and barriers is not always possible using conventional wireline and formation testing methods.
