Abstract The prediction of reservoir fluid production law play a key role in offshore oil field development plan design. It determines the parameter selection of pump displacement, oilfield submarine pipe capacity, platform fluid handling capacity, power generation equipment, etc. If the liquid production forecast is too low, the capacity will be expanded later, while if the forecast is too high, it will result in a waste of investment, which directly affects the fixed investment in oilfield development. Based on the statistical analysis of big data, this paper applies the dynamic data of all single wells and full life cycle of the oil field to analyze the dimensionless liquid production index (DLPI) law, and further establish the liquid production index prediction formula on this basis. Thus, the different types of Bohai plate and statistical table of the characteristics of the DLPI of the reservoir are completed. The results show that the DLPI of Bohai Sea heavy oil reservoir are following: water cut < 60 % indicates the trend is flat; water cut between 60 ∼ 80 % illustrates the slow growth (water cut 80 % is 2.5∼3 times); water cut > 80 % shows rapid growth (water cut 95% is 5.5∼6 times). The DLPI of Bohai Sea conventional oil reservoir are as following: when the water cut < 60%, the DLPI drops first, and then increase when the water cut is about 30% (the lowest point (0.7∼0.9 times)). When the water cut rise to 60%, the DLPI returns to 1 times; When the water cut is 60∼80%, it grows slowly (1.5∼2 times); when the water cut > 80 %, it grows rapidly (water cut 95% is 2∼3 times). The study may provide a guidance to the prediction of the amount of fluid in offshore oilfields, provide a basis for the design of new oilfield development schemes and increasing the production of old oilfields.

Abstract The development plan of the new oil field discovered in a remote offshore environment, Niger Delta, Nigeria was evaluated. As the oil in place is uncertain, a probabilistic approach was used to estimate the STOOIP using the low, mid, and high cases. The STOOIP for these cases were 95 MMSTB, 145 MMSTB and 300 MMSTB which are the potential amount of oil in the reservoir. Rock and fluid properties were determined using PVT sample and then matched to the Standing correlations with an RMS of 4.93%. The performance of the different well models were analyzed, and sensitivities were run to provide detailed information to reduce the uncertainties of the parameters. Furthermore, production forecast was done for the field for the different STOOIP using the predicted number of producer and injector wells. The timing of the wells was accurately allocated to provide information for the drillers to work on the wells. From the production forecast, the different STOOIP cases had a water cut ranging from 68-73% at the end of the 15-year field life. The recoverable oil estimate was accounted for 33.25 MMSTB for 95 MMSTB (low), 55.1 MMSTB for 145 MMSTB (mid) and 135 MMSTB for 300 MMSTB (high) at 35%, 38% and 45% recovery factor. Based on the proposed development plan, the base model is recommended for further implementation as the recovery factor is 38% with an estimate of 55.1 MMSTB. The platform will have 6 producers and 2 injectors. The quantity of oil produced is estimated at 15000 stbo/day which will require a separator that has the capacity of hold a liquid rate of about 20000 stb/day. The developmental wells are subsequently increased to achieve a water cut of 90-95% with more recoverable oil within the 15-year field life. This developmental plan is also cost effective as drilling more wells means more capital expenditure.

The Lambert field was discovered in 1973 with oil reservoired in Tithonian turbidites. It was viewed as uneconomic until 1996 when re-evaluation led to discovery of the adjacent Hermes oil accumulation by Lambert–2. The Lambert–3 producer was drilled nearby to Lambert–2 in 1997 and tied back to the Cossack-Pioneer floating production storage offloader (FPSO). Lambert–3 was expected to drain about 25 MMBBLs of oil, coming off plateau after one year and declining substantially thereafter; however, it had produced more than 52 MMBBLs of oil by late 2008 without any water cut and may produce much more in the next 15–20 years. In contrast, several appraisal and production wells drilled since in the adjacent Lambert accumulation have only produced modest recoveries. Why were the original deterministic views of the Lambert-Hermes field so far from present estimates? This paper describes the approach taken to re-assess the Lambert and Hermes oil accumulations. First, the traps were reviewed by framing the main uncertain variables followed by a rigorous scenario analysis of the field. The work was expedited by using a statistical design to substantially reduce the number of scenarios required for modelling and simulation. The results included a statistical analysis and produced a better view of the probable reserves ranges. Remarkably, after 11 years’ production the field potential warranted re-appraisal. The scenario analysis indicated which uncertain variables needed attention and helped to select well locations. The results of appraisal should decide between several re-development options. The main possibilities for new field development include: drilling of additional oil producers; water shut-off in some producers; an additional flow-line to de-bottleneck oil production from Lambert and Hermes; re-instatement of a gas-injection line for gas-lift of wells at high water-cut; and installation of a new manifold further north in the Hermes accumulation to optimise field recovery.

The seepage underground is rather complicated in the low permeability reservoir and the heavy oil reservoir. One important point to note is that the seepage in these reservoirs does not follow Darcy's law, which brings difficulty to the development of oil field. Study on low velocity non-Darcy percolation theory, the impact on oil production index is analyzed. The key is the summary of the application in order to provide theoretical references for the rational exploitation of the relevant oil fields.

With the deepening of the oilfield development, oil field has entered the high water cut period. The rate of water cut increasing and production decline are accelerate. It is needed to adjust the way of exploitation in order to improve oilfield exploitation effect. Cyclic water flooding is one of effective means to improve oilfield development effect with the advantages of small investment, quick effect, reduce inefficient output and improve oilfield overall development benefit. In this paper, we use the means of numerical simulation to study the injection timing and reasonable working systems of different types of Wells. Technical basis is provided for further study and field test.

The results of a comprehensive analysis of geological and field information are presented in order to assess changes in the hydrogeochemical field of the oil reservoir of the U horizon of the Verkh-Tarskoye oil field during its development in the period from 1994 to 2021. The main production facility is at the IV stage of declining production. The water cut of the production wells stock reaches 98% with cumulative production of 14.86 million tons (as of May 1, 2021). Since 2015, there has been an increase in the TDS of produced water, which is explained by the processes of their mixing with circuit waters along the periphery of the reservoir with a decrease in reservoir pressure and more saline waters of the U horizon, supplied during joint operation.
