A Petrophysics and Reservoir Performance-Based Reservoir Characterization of the Womack Hill (Smackover) Field (Alabama)

The primary objective of this work is to perform a complete characterization of the Womack Hill (oil) Field in Southern Alabama using petrophysical and reservoir performance data — and to provide reservoir management strategies that lead to improved oil recovery at Womack Hill Field. The process for achieving this goal requires the following specific objectives: To develop correlations between the core and well log data in order to generate spatial distributions of reservoir properties such as: porosity, permeability, net pay, etc.To analyze the production history on a per well basis using the decline type curve technique which provides estimates of the following properties: —Oil-in-place (N),—Effective permeability (k),—Flow capacity (kh),—Reservoir drainage area (A), and—Near-well skin factor (5).To determine the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (or EUR) for each well using the historical production data. The EUR is used to establish the volume of recoverable oil-in-place.To draw conclusions and provide recommendations regarding infill drilling, well completions, and production practices based on the results of integrating the geological data and the production history analysis.
