oa Modelling a thin oil rim – The impact of cell geometry on Oil-In-Place and potential for upscaling to simulation

A geological model of an onshore oil field was constructed during 2004 as part of an evaluation to deliver up-to-date (static model) Oil-in-Place based upon current structure interpretation, well data and a recent petrophysical evaluation of reservoir properties. The field, located onshore Gabon, is producing from an 11m thick oil rim from a series of horizontal producers within a good net to gross system of Gamba and Dentale Sands.
