ABSTRACT
Optimum
reservoir recovery and profitability result from guidance by an
effective reservoir management plan. Success in developing the most appropriate reservoir
management plan requires knowledge and consideration of (1) the reservoir system,
including rocks, fluids, and rock-fluid interactions, as well as wellbores and associated
equipment and surface facilities; (2) the technologies available to describe, analyze, and
exploit the reservoir; and (3) the business environment under which the plan will be
developed and implemented. Reservoir management plans de-optimize with time as
technology and the business environment change or as new reservoir information becomes
available. Reservoir characterization is essential for planning appropriately scaled
reservoir management plans.
