ABSTRACT

In the field delineation phase, the uncertainty in hydrocarbon reservoir descriptions is large. In order to quickly examine the impact of this uncertainty on production performance, it is necessary to evaluate a large number of descriptions in relation to possible production methods (well spacing, injection rate, etc.). The method of using coarse scaled-up models was first proposed by Ballin et al. Unlike other methods (connectivity analysis, tracer simulations), it considers parameters such as thermodynamic behavior of the fluids, well management, etc.
