Abstract

Making design decisions during oil and gas field development is associated with lack of data on reservoir properties and various processes occurring in the reservoir. During field development, the available data is updated and supplemented, as well as never-before-used technologies can be applied in the field. Under new conditions, the previously made decisions can appear unsuitable and impractical.
The paper is aimed at studying historical forecasting as a method of evaluating efficiency of production enhancement operations implemented as part of field development program. The object of historical forecasting is an area in one of the fields under the Uvat project. Historical simulation has been done to evaluate field development strategy efficiency, optimality of oil production period from injection wells in the infill drilling area, well interference due to infill drilling. Based on the results of simulation it has been concluded that application of historical forecasting method to evaluate the efficiency of implemented activities is a good practice.

Key words:

reservoir simulation, historical forecasting, evaluating efficiency of production enhancement operations, field development strategy, infill drilling, reservoir simulation, forecast
