Abstract
High Permeability layers are a common feature of most carbonate series, and contribute to heterogeneous<br>sweeps and early breakthroughs when injecting gas or water in an oil reservoir.<br>The innovative workflow proposed to model the high permeability layers, on the basis of strong constraints from<br>geological data and concepts, enables to be more predictive on the dynamic behaviour of the reservoir. It also<br>enables a better selection of the most adapted recovery mechanism and a better strategy for optimizing the<br>positioning of future perforations.
