B. Methodology

For the purpose of the project, the reservoir was first modelled using MBAL where certain reservoir properties were estimated and analyzed. Such reservoir properties include: reservoir pressure, bottom-hole temperature, fluid type, Original Oil in Place, porosity, bubble point pressure, permeability, type and nature of formation, formation rock compressibility, drive mechanism.

The modelled reservoir was then history-matched to estimate its similarity with the real-time reservoir data. These results, especially results obtained from rock compressibility, aquifer modelling and drive mechanism determine the results of the PROSPER software. Using the PROSPER software, the well was first modelled without any sand control system in place. This is the control. The same well was subsequently modelled with four different mechanical sand control system in place (modelled independent of each other). They include:

1) Cased hole gravel pack

2) Pre-packed screen

3) Wire-wrapped screen

4) Slotted liner

A. Results of Analysis on MBAL

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The analysis of the MBAL software yielded the following results as presented in table 4.1. The estimated and analyzed properties include: Reservoir Pressure (psia), Bottom-Hole Temperature (ºF), Fluid Type, Original Oil in Place (stb), Porosity (%), Bubble Point Pressure (psia), Permeability (mD), Type and Nature of Formation, Formation Rock Compressibility (1/psi).
