Reservoir pressure maintenance is an extremely important factor in field development. In enhanced oil recovery water flooding projects, it is essential to optimize the flooding efficiency in a timely manner and reduce uncertainties in inter-well hydrodynamic modelling. Usually, the inter-well space parameters are assessed using interference tests or tracer- based surveillance. These methods offer such advantages as reliable information on the flow communication in the target area and the reservoir connectivity in different zones of the field. However, the duration and cost of the described surveillance technologies pose a significant drawback, and therefore alternative physical and mathematical methods with simplified forecast models are widely spread. This paper describes a method for integrating the results of dynamic marker-based inflow production surveillance in horizontal wells and the Spearman's rank-order correlation method. This approach is applied to provide better interventions for reservoir pressure maintenance, optimization of in-fill drilling, update existing hydro-dynamic models and reduce the level of uncertainty in decision making. |
