Weyburn Field – From Integrated 4D 9C Seismic Analysis to Flow Simulation

A003 WEYBURN FIELD: FROM INTEGRATED 4D 9C SEISMIC ANALYSIS TO FLOW SIMULATION Introduction Enhanced oil recovery through CO2 injection is a commercially proven technology and allows additional recovery of typically 10-15% of the OOIP. Multicomponent time-lapse seismic data provide a valuable insight on dynamics of a reservoir. The baseline data provide information static reservoir characterization including possible interconnected fracture zones. Analysis of seismic data acquired over the same area but at different periods in time helps to monitor fluid front movement assists in detecting changes in rock properties caused by CO2 injection allows optimization of the field production. Integrating the
