Integrated Reservoir Characterization And Development Through An Improved Workflow Approach To Couple A Three Dimensional Seismic Study Results And Reservoir Numerical Simulation: Revealing The Effect Of Structural Features In La Victoria Field

摘要

A detailed seismic interpretation for reservoir characterization is a powerful tool to obtain information in the inter- well area for the purposes of field m anagement and development. This paper presents a workflow approach to characterize La Victoria Field reservoirs, which belongs to Apure State in the Southwest of Venezuela, particularly Escandalosa M Sand of Escandalosa Formation. The available 3D seismic data have been used to predict small- scale faults as well as presence of internal compartments where undrained zones or bypassed oil might be located in a mature oilfield. Additionally, reservoir engineering techniques as numerical simulation helped to verify reservoir parameters estimated by history match ing in a black oil simulator, such as the sealing character of some faults, identified from seismic interpretation.
