Figure 17
(A) Oil, (B) water, (C) gas production rates, and (D) cumulative oil production as a function of time in the simulation model of the Sognefjord Formation in a fault-bounded sector of the Troll Field (Figure 12B) for production from a single horizontal well through gas cap expansion and aquifer influx (Figure 16). In the models with 90% barrier coverage along clinoforms, free gas breakthrough is delayed (Figure 17C) and liquid production is decreased (Figure 17A, B, D) relative to the models lacking barriers along clinoforms.
