AbstractThis paper presents an assessment of infill drilling opportunities in a complex multi-layered heterogeneous carbonate formation located in Abu Dhabi offshore. The subject field was developed last century and is currently undergoing further development with line drive horizontal wells. The field is being redeveloped for improved oil recovery at higher production rates with long horizontal wells. An infill assessment process is defined using sector model reservoir simulations for the specific reservoir. Reservoir simulations are performed on pattern sector models to establish the optimum grid for infill evaluation. Also, the models with an appropriate grid size are used to optimize infill placement (vertical and lateral well placement) and infill drilling timing for a couple of geologically similar areas. In the second step, the sector model results are applied to test the full-field infill development plan. The relatively homogeneous geological area shows very uniform displacement with 1-km spaced wells and gives no considerable benefit of incremental recovery through infill drilling. However, in a comparatively heterogeneous geological area, considerable incremental oil recovery is quantified. In brief, this paper presents a detailed infill drilling and well placement assessment process workflow for the re-development of a multi-layered heterogeneous reservoir.
