A Petrophysics and Reservoir Performance-Based Reservoir Characterization of the Womack Hill Smackover Field Alabama Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract The primary objective of this work is to perform a complete characterization of the Womack Hill (oil) Field in Southern Alabama using petrophysical and reservoir performance data and to provide reservoir management strategies that lead to improved oil recovery at Womack Hill Field. The process for achieving this goal requires the following specific objectives: To develop correlations between the core and well log data in order to generate spatial distributions of reservoir properties such as: porosity, permeability, net pay, etc.To analyze the production history on a per well basis using the decline type curve technique which provides estimates of the following properties: Oil-in-place (N),Effective permeability (k),Flow capacity (kh),Reservoir drainage area (A), andNear-well skin factor (5).To determine the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (or EUR) for each well using the historical production data. The EUR is used to establish the volume of recoverable oil-in-place.To draw conclusions and provide recommendations regarding infill drilling, well completions, and production practices based on the results of integrating the geological data and the production history analysis.
