  2. Project Summary and Timeline • A collaborative study between EORI and Merit Energy Company under the Minnelusa Consortium • The primary objective of the project is to evaluate various development plans for improving the waterflooding in its Minnelusa Reservoir • The Timber Creek Field Geologic Study was completed by Gene George in Feb. 2010 • The Modeling and Simulation Study was started in Nov. 2009 and a final report was submitted to Merit in Feb. 2011 • A new injector was drilled in late 2011, named Gene George #1, and water injection initiated in Oct. 2012 • Monthly oil production has risen to 36,317 STBO/month in Aug. 2013 from 16,800 STBO/month in Feb. 2010 • Updated the TC model in late 2013 to include GG #1. Extended E N H A N C E D O I L R E C O V E R Y I N S T I T U T E history matching and production forecast was performed

  11. What A Simulation Model Needs from A Geologic Model • A structured grid system of the reservoir — It is desirable to configure flow units, e.g. sand compartments, as layers in the grid system • Rock/formation properties of grids — Such as porosity and permeability • Initial oil, gas, and water saturations of grids — Commonly estimated from Archie relations E N H A N C E D O I L R E C O V E R Y I N S T I T U T E

  24. Original Questions set for History Matching • What would the initial oil-water contacts be in the B and C Sands and where does the oil remain today? • How much is the C Sand contribution in the total oil production of wells that have commingled production from both B and C Sands? • Can a good history matching be achieved without assuming fault-separated compartments? • Aquifer water influx, from where and how much? • How does fluid move among the 3 pods in the B Sand? E N H A N C E D O I L R E C O V E R Y I N S T I T U T E • Any infill drilling opportunities?

  25. Some Data Issues in the History Matching • A few BHP or fluid level measurements • No gas production record before 1975 • About 2.8 million barrels of oil produced without gas producing records between 1975 and 1998 • Gaps in water producing records • Only partial PVT report of the C sand oil • No data of laboratory measured relative permeability E N H A N C E D O I L R E C O V E R Y I N S T I T U T E
