Reservoir Characterisation from Flooding Front Geometry in Chalk Reservoirs

P332 Reservoir characterisation from flooding front geometry in chalk reservoirs P. FRYKMAN 1 & G. PICKUP 2 Abstract 1 The study of flooding front geometry in low permeable chalk reservoirs can contribute to insitu reservoir characterisation. The geometry of simulated flooding fronts is compared to an example of a measured front in a chalk reservoir which has been penetrated by a postflooding horizontal well. The presented study compares field measured saturation fronts with examples generated with reservoir flow simulation of a water flood in a fine-scale reservoir model. The simulated front velocity is adjusted to match with the average front
