Wytch Farm Field FDP Phase 2

Check list: points you must be capable of answering, through your presentation or during
the question time. It does not mean that all these pieces of information must be given in
your slides give us what you think are the key points. This is not an outline either, and does
not intent to give you an order of presentation.

Basic facts about the field, and main results from phase 1.
Review of data available.
How many realisations of static model did you use and keep1 in your study.
What were the possible flaws in phase 1 model? What did you revisit or redo?
Net to Gross and cut-offs for fine scale and for coarse scale model: which methodology
in phase 1; which approach of this issue?
Driving mechanisms as results of the material balance study?
Grid construction (XY): principles which guided you; orientation of mesh, dimensions of
grid-blocks, aspect ratio (and why?)
Grid construction (Z)/ Vertical layering: principles which guided you; method of
layering.
Total number of grid-blocks or cells, and number of active cells?
Property upscaling: which one, which methods, any comparison of methods?
Grid and upscaling QC: principles? Volumetrics? Histograms? Flow simulation at coarse
scale vs results at fine scale? Sector model? Streamline simulations?
Dynamic rock types: how many? Relative permeability from core? End point scaling?
Initialisation: use of drainage Pc curves? Use of J functions (fine model? Coarse model?)?
Initial water saturation imposed? Comparison of initial water saturations between static
fine geological model and dynamic coarse simulation model?
Use of Pc imbibition? Dealing with hysteresis?
Aquifer? If yes, which type? Connections? Characteristics?
Sweep efficiency and Buckley Leverett analysis?
History-match: which observed data? Which control mode for the wells? Which
approach? Which parameters were sensitive (have an impact)? Any adjustments
improving the match? Quality of the match? If bad, why?
Development strategy: which information guided you, and what kind of method did you
use for optimising your recovery?
Development strategy (optimal and possibly alternative solutions): well pattern,
number of producers, number of injectors, location, target rates (well controls),
constraints, drilling and production schedule, duration of plateau, duration of
production? Which optimisation method/approach?
Uncertainty analysis: how many static models used (1)? How many production
strategies(1)? Which parameters used for sensitivity? Which ones were not considered,
and why? How many runs? Which sampling methods? Static uncertainty taken into
account? Which a-priori probability distributions for your input parameters? Results?
STOIIP? Recovery factor (probabilistic answer). Comparison with analogs?
Decision after end of this phase?
Data acquisition strategy.

The answer can be one!
