Abstract

This paper discusses the recent trend in the approach used by various companies in reservoir
management indicates the utilization of teamwork and integrated operations concepts. This is
particularly evident in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects due to the wide scope, complexity and high
cost associated with various EOR processes. Reservoir management of typical EOR projects includes
reservoir evaluation, geology, process design, surface facilities, performance monitoring, production data
analysis, operational aspects and environmental as well as contractual considerations. Reservoir
management is based on cooperative participation and input from various professionals involved in a
given EOR project. Participants include geologists, reservoir engineers, reservoir simulation engineers,
production engineers, facilities (design and construction) engineers and field management team
personnel. With such a wide variety of background among participants, it is necessary to establish a
common understanding of fundamental concepts, key parameters and data requirements throughout
various phases of project implementation. With the fact that an oil reservoir can only be produced
practically once, operators pay special attention to the reservoir management of such EOR projects in
order to obtain optimum results and avoid costly mistakes. Recently, many operators have come to the
conclusion that utilizing teamwork in an integrated operation manner, allowing enough flexibility and
designing an adequate performance monitoring will assure an efficient and practical reservoir
management. It is clear that each of the above elements require the participation and input from several
professionals of various disciplines. This participation, coupled with a cooperative effort, increases the
reliability of the results and assures the right selection of producing methods and development plans.
When an EOR process is implemented in a given field, the degree of success of its reservoir management
program is directly related to the teamwork efficiency of the professionals associated with the project.
