Dynamic Modeling of Hydrocarbon Reserves and Estimating Optimal Well Placement in Mature Oil Fields

Abstract

I Development of mature oil reservoir blocks strategy in optimizing hydrocarbon production from mature oil f ields. Using dynamic modeling techniques together with subsurface interpretations that were based on sharp ly adjacent well data, the study has presented new development well placements. Production data studies, pressure surveys, and detailed subsurface studies will be integrated in improving the understanding of the res ervoir behavior to predict reservoir performance. The key findings indicate high increments in oil production on account of the implementation of new development wells. The current research provides not only empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of strategic drilling but also lends a structured workflow applicable for sim ilar mature oil fields, thus providing practical means for increasing production and betterment in field life. Opportunities that deliver high value yet have limited associated risks and costs are typically characterized in general by short payout periods and reinvestment of savings. Unlock residual potential from low-productivity or shut-in wells, maximizing asset value, and information driving decisions on optimizing is an asset develop ment strategy. These strategies can only be effectively implemented if inter-disciplinary teams work together to ensure that data is comprehensively analyzed and all solutions are formulated in line with these analyses. This work discusses the efficiency of developing non drained oil reservoir blocks strategy in optimizing hy drocarbon production from mature oil fields. Using dynamic modeling techniques together with subsurface interpretations that were based on sharply adjacent well data, the study has presented new development well placements. The study of the Abu Rudeis oil field has laid the foundation for long-term optimization, integrat ing production data, pressure surveys, and geological studies into a comprehensive reservoir management strategy. The interdisciplinary approach ensured well-informed and targeted decisions, resulting in enhanced hydrocarbon recovery and improved field performance. Results from three-dimensional grid that captured heterogeneity in the reservoir, the assignment of reservoir properties like porosity and permeability and fluids distribution helped to leveraging data-driven strategies and advanced technology, the field's sustainability and efficiency have been significantly improved, providing a strong foundation for future optimization efforts.
