Abstract

Summary

The paper presents the case study of a carbonate oilfield offshore UAE. It shows how a multi-disciplinary approach combining a review of static data alongside dynamic information has allowed identifying the presence of diffuse fractures. The synthesis of dynamic and production data reveals the impact of the diffuse fractures on the reservoir behavior. The paper shows that the understanding of their distribution and connectivity is critical for accurate fluid flow prediction and successful field development.
