f Reservoir Simulation Study of Bozova Oil Field

Bozova Oil Field, with 1.4 km2 area, is located in the southeastern part of Turkey. Reservoir thickness ranges 27 to 40 m with 60 % of net to gross ratio and it is found at depth around 2400 m. In terms of quality, the reservoir has moderate porosity, low permeability, and water and compaction drive mechanisms with an average oil density of 23 API and initial pressure of 2550 psia. To date, 8 wells have been drilled, 4 of which are active and production accumulated throughout 18 years amounts approximately 1.6 million barrels. The purpose of the study is to improve a full-field reservoir simulation for Bozova field including data review, history matching and production forecast. The first step of that is quality-checked of geologic model to accept it for commencing of the simulation project. In the next step, scrutinizing of available PVT and petrophysical data as input is essential part to honor the reservoir system in a proper way. After initialization of the base case, calibration of reservoir simulation model to the historical production data is a required step before a reservoir model can be utilized for making predictions of the future performance of the reservoir. In the study, several development strategies were simulated by launching do nothing case, additional new wells, and waterflooding case. As a result, all those forecasts will give us insight into different approaches and the result of alternative applications causing production increasing in Bozova field.
