Abstract


The model of oil displacement characteristics by water is a fast and effective way to estimate the remaining recoverable reserves. Using this method saves a lot of time, as well as financial costs that are necessary to build a hydrodynamic model. Current research concerns the application of probabilistic forecasting using integral irrigation curves. The proposed method for estimating oil reserves and other indicators has the advantages of the traditional use of displacement characteristics and also provides an opportunity to make a forecast using strictly approved criteria for filtering non-physical extrapolated values, which allows different engineers to obtain the same result with the same input data and use time for its analysis more efficiently.
The article provides a brief overview of domestic methods for predicting the value of recoverable oil reserves using displacement characteristics based on a probabilistic approach. The main attention is paid to the problems related to the reliability of the extrapolated result. A method for predicting the dynamics of oil production using a probabilistic approach based on integral displacement characteristics is considered.
In the course of current research, it has been established that it is necessary to take into account the discrepancy between the latest historical value of oil production dynamics and the first extrapolated indicator. In addition to the convergence criterion at the last historical point, it is necessary to monitor the value of the multiplicity of recoverable oil reserves: if the extrapolated recoverable oil reserves do not lie within the accepted range of the multiplicity of residual recoverable reserves, implausible indicators should be eliminated.

Key words:

integral characteristics of oil displacement by water; water cut curves; probabilistic approach; recoverable oil reserves; forecast; program; distribution function; dynamics of oil production
