Figure 7
Average percentage change in oil recovery (green bars) and total volume of water produced (blue bars) in models of stacked delta-lobe deposits, observed when each factor in the experimental design is varied from setting 1 to setting 2 (Table 1) for (A) models that either contain or lack channelized fluvial sandbodies (FC) (i.e., set 1 of simulation experiments in Table 1) and (B) models that contain FC sandbodies of varying permeability (i.e., set 2 of simulation experiments in Table 1). If the bars lie to the right, the change is positive and more oil is recovered or more water is produced. For example, if the models contain a 90% barrier to flow along clinoforms (setting 2), oil recovery decreases by ∼5% and increases the total water produced in the models by ∼55% compared with models containing clinoforms with 0% barrier coverage (setting 1). The effects of individual factors and combinations of factors are displayed, where these are considered significant (i.e., >0.5% change in recovery factor, >1% change in total water produced).
