 Creating Field Production History (*.fhf) for History Match This file (*.fhf) is required if you want to compare the historical fluid data to simulation fluid data in RESULTS Graph. If you had loaded Pressure data through the Production loading Wizard, then you will have option to create separate historical pressure data file, however since we have not loaded pressure data, this option is greyed out currently 1.

Go to the main Builder Menu  Select Well | Create Field History File | then provide a filename (or you can just use the default

2.

Click OK

If you had loaded injection or well head/bottom hole pressure data then separate injection/pressure *.fhf file is created

Drag and Drop Basecase_AQ.dat onto the IMEX 2010.10 icon and Release the mouse to run simulation


F. REVIEWING THE SIMULATION RESULTS USING RESULTS GRAPH AND RESULTS 3D We can now look at the simulation run and compare it with the historical data and see how the reservoir would perform, so those 3 cases are:  Basecase.irf | reservoir without aquifer  Basecase_AQ.irf | reservoir with aquifer  Pressure History.fhf | field history 1.

Drag and Drop Basecase_AQ.irf onto the Results Graph 2010.10 icon.

2.

Go to the main Results Menu  Select File | Open CMG Simulation Results  Select Basecase.irf

We now have both simulation results loaded so that we can compare them 3.

Go to the main Results Menu  Select File | Open Field History  Select Pressure History.fhf

4.

Right Click on Plot 1 or Click on Add Curve icon

5.

In the Results Graph – Add Curves  Select Basecase.irf | in the File box  Select Special History | in the Origin Type box  Select Pressure: PRES Average Reservoir Pressure | in the Parameter box

Repeat the same steps (4 to 6) but this time  Select Basecase_AQ.irf and Pressure History.fhf | in the File box as we want to compare the simulated data with the historical input data. You should now see a plot similar to:


8.

You can also enter the 3D display area from here (Results 3D) and both types of display are linked together. When you exit Results 3D or Graph, the .ses (line plot) or .3tp (3D image) file referred to is a template that you can use to re-create the images that you have generated using the same or other input files.

9.

Results 3D and Graph are very intuitive and most things can be accessed by the menus or by right mouse clicking on the display areas.

G. USING THE HISTORICAL DATA RESTART FILE IN A PREDICTION RUN We now completed dataset with the historical match run. We are going to use the Restart Run feature to make the future prediction runs without having to rerun the historical data portion 1.

Drag and Drop Basecase_AQ.dat onto the Builder 2010.10 icon.

2.

Go to the main Builder Menu  Select File | Save As new name Basecase_Prediction.dat

We want to predict the reservoir performance until 1/1/2000 if the producers are fixed to a minimum BHP of 2175 psi


3.

Go to the Model Tree View  Select I/O Control | Restart  Click Restart from previous simulation run (RESTART) | box

We can now exit Builder and drag and drop the Basecase_Prediction.dat file onto the IMEX 2010.10 icon to run it

We can now look at the simulation run and compare it with the historical data and see how the reservoir would continue to perform, so those 2 cases are:  Basecase_Prediction.irf | reservoir with aquifer  Production-history.fhf | field history 34.

Drag and Drop Basecase_Prediction.irf onto the Results Graph 2010.10 icon.

35.

Go to the main Results Menu  Select File | Open Field History...  Select Production-history.irf

Right Click on Plot 1 or Click on Add Curve icon

37.

In the Results Graph – Add Curves  Select basecase_prediction.irf | in the File box  Select Well | in the Origin Type box  Select Oil Rate SC | in the Parameter box  Select Well_1 | in the Origin box

To obtain the same plot for all the producers, pressing the Repeat Plots button.

41.

Right Click on Plot 1 and select Add Plot. Repeat to obtain the Water Cut plot


H. USING THE TRIGGER OPTION TO CONTROL THE INJECTION BASED ON SECTOR PRESSURE We are going to use the Trigger feature to start the Injector wells (Well 7 and Well 9) when the average reservoir pressure drops below 2300 psi. 1.

Drag and Drop Basecase_Prediction.irf onto the Builder 2010.10 icon.

2.

Go to the main Builder Menu  Select File | Save As new name Basecase_Trigger.dat

We want to predict the reservoir performance until 1/1/2000 if the producers are fixed to a minimum BHP of 2175 psi. But here we got limitation on our compressor which can’t lift the oil if the average reservoir pressure falls below 2300 psi. Therefore we are going to start injector well to support the pressure when pressure falls below 2300 psi. 3.

Go to the Model Tree View  Select Wells & Recurrent  Double Click on the Trigger

4.

In the Well Management Trigger  Select 1992-01-01 | in the Date box  Type Pressure Control | in the Trigger Name box  Select Sector | under Apply On dropdown menu  Select PAVE: Pore volumn Weighted Pressure | under When dropdown menu  Define trigger value less than < 2300 psi  Type OPEN „Well_7‟ „Well_9‟ | inside action box

Save and Exit Builder and run Basecase_Trigger.dat
