AGR’s Reservoir Management team was assigned to provide technical support on Thermal Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) for the field development plan of heavy oil fields in Venezuela for an Eastern Asian national oil company.

The work scope included the reservoir simulation model construction for thermal recovery methods and screening of thermal production techniques.

Our Scope also included the evaluation of the reservoir simulation model and forecast profiles of a 3rd party. Using the sector model with multi-well configuration, the optimisation of well patterns and sensitivity study of thermal production had been investigated to maximise the oil recovery factor.

Furthermore, the production profiles for large scale commercial field development (200,000 STBD ~ 400,000 STBD) was generated for the economic assessment.

SOLUTION

We delivered to the client:
- Reservoir simulation model construction for thermal recovery method
- Screening of production techniques for heavy oil production
- Evaluation of Field Development Plan

KEY ENABLERS

- Expertise on the simulation modelling of thermal production technology for large scale commercial development
- Working in the client’s office to ensure the direct discussions with the client
- Framing the work scope at the kick-off meeting with the client to identify the deliverables clearly
- Weekly progress meeting with client to ensure the progress in line with the work plan
- Using parallel licenses to speed up the execution of the simulation models
