Abstract History matching is one of the paramount steps in reservoir model validation to describe, analyze and mimic the overall behavior of reservoir performance. Performing history matching on highly faulted and multi layered reservoirs is always challenging, especially when the wells are completed with multiple zones either with single selective or dual strings. The history matching complexity is also compounded with uncertainties in production allocation, well history and downhole equipment integrity overtime. It is a common practice for deterministic history matching in reservoir numerical simulation to modify the both static and dynamic model parameters within the subsurface uncertainty window. However, for multi layered reservoirs completed with dual strings, another parameter that is most often get overlooked is the completion string’s leaking phenomenon that tremendously impacting the history matching. The objective of this paper is to introduce dual strings leaking diagnostics methodology from various disciplines’ angles. We demonstrate these dual strings leaking phenomenon impact on history matching. This paper covers dual strings leak diagnostic methodology which includes production logging tool evaluation, well’s production performance and recovery factor analysis. Possible factors that gives rise to the string’s leaks including material corrosion from high CO2 and sand production will also be discussed. We will demonstrate on how the leak phenomenon could be mimicked in the reservoir numerical model. Possible risks on future infill well identification if the leaks phenomenon is not incorporated will be also discussed. The dual strings leaks diagnosis and application in numerical simulation is illustrated on a case study of Field "D", a multilayered sandstone reservoir in Malaysia of almost 3 decades of production. This proven leak identification and reservoir model history matching methodology has been replicated for all the fault blocks across the field. It potentially unlocks more than 100 MMSTB of additional oil recovery by drilling more oil producers and water injectors in future drilling campaigns.
