A new technique was developed to obtain reservoir descriptions to aid in the design of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. This technique incorporates the reservoir performance during primary and secondary processes as well as the geological and petrophysical data. The advantage of this technique over statistical techniques is that a more realistic reservoir description can be obtained. The reservoir description when used with an EOR reservoir simulator would yield a more realistic prediction of EOR performance and minimize the risk in an EOR field project. This technique may also be used to validate a reservoir simulator for field scale EOR performance. If the reservoir description is derived independent of EOR performance, the reservoir description is based only on the reservoir heterogeneities. The EOR process variables can then be quantified from the EOR performance without changing the reservoir description (Ader and Stein). The application of this technique is illustrated fo...

this activity exists within the industry. This paper reviews some of the origins of reservoir management techniques and provides an overview of reservoir management principles. Reservoir management is directed toward maximizing the value of a hydrocarbon asset. The value of any reservoir is defined differently by different people at different times. To develop a reservoir optimally to maximize its value, the exact meaning of "value" must be clearly understood. Also, the uncertainty always associated with the parameters

The data acquired in this field during the exploration and appraisal phases have been limited to conventional triple combo tools, formation pressures and samples with various data quality. This limitation was essentially due to the need to perform the data acquisition using Though Logging Condition (TLC), e.g. pipe conveyed logging operations.
