3D Geomodelling and Flow Simulation of the Late Devonian Bakken Formation in South-Central Saskatchewan-Case Study:Smiley Buffalo Heavy Oil Waterflood

摘要

A sound geological model,a consistent geocellular model,and flow simulation are all critical components to successful optimization of a heavy oil waterflood project.Despite the availability of a sound geologic model,high quality seismic and abundant core,log,and production data,optimization of the waterflood project at the Smiley Buffalo field in south-central Saskatchewan held many challenges
