Seismogeological analysis as a tool of history matching: YNAO Case Study
The process of raising the gas-water contact (GWC) is inevitable during development of the reservoir. This leads to flodding of wells and reducing of daily gas production. Horizontal sidetracks and new horizontal drilling allows to maintain production at the required level. Mostly, the direction of the horizontal section of the well determines its efficiency. In difficult geological conditions, a detailed analysis of seismic data in the drilling area allows to reduce drilling risks and achieve planned starting rates. Accounting of seismic data in geological models is often limited by a low correlation coefficient between reservoir properties obtained from wells and seismic attributes. Simulation models use seismic data based on the assumptions made by the geological engineers.
