MEERA CENTRUM

Optimizing Water Flooding Plan in an Oilfield in the Middle East

Challenges

  • Significant deviation from the FDP predicted rates observed in the field in recent years due to poor model predictability. Although the History Match quality was acceptable, the model predictability was far from convincing.

  • Water Flood plan optimization is not reliable due to poor model predictability. Updating the FDP to get aligned with recent production data is time-consuming and would halt the operation.

Solutions

  • Create and History Train an AI-Physics model based on the available conventional model within a month’s time.

  • Optimizes the well location/trajectory for planned producers and injectors

  • Optimize perforations in existing producers

OUTCOME

Optimized Field Plan and Confident Field Performance Prediction

A full field Evergreen model is constructed and history trained in less than three weeks. The model shows excellent alignment with the observed data in the history and the blind test period which confirms the model’s predictability

More than 100 development scenarios have been tried on MEERA CENTRUM super-fast model

The location of 6 producers and 5 injectors has been optimized and proposed to the New Oil team

Perforation interval optimized in 5 existing producers and proposed to WRM team

The injection rate in 12 existing injectors has been optimized and proposed to the production team

Economic Analysis was performed to evaluate the investment profitability
