Geological and hydrodynamic modeling as a tool for improving the methodology of designing the development of hydrocarbon deposits at the final stage

Abstract

The main task of design and development of hydrocarbon fields is the most complete extraction of their geological reserves with maximum economic efficiency. To solve this problem, the present work improves the methodology of development design in the direction of maintaining a stable operating fund, by sidetracking in idle and low-yield wells of fields at the late stage of development, the basis is geological and hydrodynamic modeling of reservoir parameters and filtration processes of reservoir fluids. The adaptation of the development history and its subsequent prediction allows optimal and cost-effective designing of the hydrocarbon field development using high-technology workover (HWR) of idle and marginal wells in order to restore their operation with higher productivity.
