Reservoir Modelling and Simulation Project 1 Answer
Figure 1: Injection and Production WBHP and Field Average Pressure (FPR) vs. Time (in
years)
Figure 2a : Well PROD Water Cut (WWCT) and Field Oil Production Rate (FOPR) vs.
Time (in years)
Value of recovery factor can be directly obtained from the graph (FOE vs. Time).At the
end of production years, maximum recovery factor (FOE) is 41.84%.
0.41843721=41.84%
Explanation:
As shown in Figure 3, Injection WBHP kept increasing while production WBHP kept
decreasing with time. The high pressure and high flow water injection pumps fill the
bottom of the reservoir with the filtered water to push the oil towards the producing
wells. It works like a piston. As a result, WBHP will increase. The process of pushing
oil towards the producing wells takes quite some times.
The movement of oil towards the well creates a low pressure to allow the oil to be
produced to the surface. Due to this effect, the producing WBHP is decreasing over
time. The water replaces the oil which has been taken and keeps the production rate
and the pressure the same over the long term.
Injection WBHP kept increasing and production WBHP kept decreasing until they
reach stabilization point.
The stabilization point is the point where the injection WBHP and production WBHP
would reach before they become constant throughout production period.
