Title: Limestone Reservoir Development: A Simulation Approach
Abstract: SUMMARY Kuwait Oil Company, KSC (KOC) has many oil producing reservoirs among which LL-X is a limestone. Despite the enormous volume of oil-in-place, very little has been produced uptil now due to the tight nature of the producing horizons and poor aquifer communication. In view of the rock heterogeneities, suspected crestal fracturing, complex fault pattern, areal and vertical variation of fluid properties, a detailed reservoir simulation study was warranted to design the optimum exploitation strategy. Consequently, simulation study was made on a model with 10962 cells. The optimum prediction scheme with five-spot pattern waterflood pattern was selected after screening a score of scenarios based on techno-economic evaluation. This paper highlights some important aspects of the study with the results obtained.
