Conclusion

1.The CMG software provides a comprehensive understanding of how the


reservoir in the Serir field responds to miscible CO2 injection. It helps identify
the areas of the reservoir that are most suitable for CO2 injection and predict
the changes in reservoir pressure, saturation, and fluid displacement over time.

2. CMG software enables the modeling of complex fluid behavior during


miscible CO2 injection, including phase behavior, interfacial tension, and fluid
viscosity changes. These simulations provide insights into the interaction
between CO2 and the reservoir fluid, helping to predict and mitigate potential
challenges such as phase trapping.

3. integrating reservoir data and history matching techniques, CMG software


can generate production forecasts and estimate the incremental oil recovery
resulting from miscible CO2 injection. These forecasts can assist in decision-
making processes regarding field development, production optimization, and
economic assessments.

4. Simulation results allow for the evaluation of sweep efficiency, which is a


critical factor determining the success of miscible CO2 injection. By visualizing
the displacement fronts and monitoring the movement of injected CO2, the
software helps optimize injection strategies to maximize sweep efficiency and
increase oil recovery.

5. Sensitivity Analysis, CMG software allows for sensitivity analysis, wherein key
parameters such as CO2 injection rate, composition, reservoir permeability, and
temperature can be systematically varied to understand their impact on the
process. This analysis aids in identifying the most influential parameters and
optimizing operational strategies.

6. Performance Monitoring and History Matching: CMG software facilitates the
monitoring of reservoir performance during and after CO2 injection. It enables
the comparison of simulation results with field data through history matching
techniques. This iterative process helps calibrate the model, ensuring that the
simulation accurately represents the observed behavior in the Serir field.

7. The efficiency of CO2 flood is not and should not be linked only to its ability to
extract intermediate components but also to its direct effect on the oil
properties by swelling and reducing oil viscosity, and also to its diffusivity in
water to collect isolated oil droplets, and when miscibility conditions are
favorable then this is an additional advantage of CO2 to other solvents and the
supercriticality of CO2 is the reason for its lower Minimum Miscible Pressure as
compared to other hydrocarbon solvents.

8.Given that carbon dioxide gas causes global warming, and in addition to the
cost of collecting and capturing it, we can enjoy the support of global
environmental protection organizations in Western countries that are interested
in protecting the Earth by reducing damage to the ozone layer, and this helps in
making the cost as low as possible.

9. The simulation results can be used to perform economic evaluations and


assess the feasibility and profitability of implementing miscible CO2 injection in
the Serir field. By estimating the incremental oil recovery and considering
factors such as CO2 supply costs, project economics, and regulatory
requirements, operators can make informed decisions regarding project viability
and investments.

10. The simulation allows for the optimization of injection strategies to enhance
oil recovery. Different scenarios, such as varying injection rates, well locations,
or injection compositions, can be evaluated to determine the most effective

2
approach. Sensitivity analysis helps identify critical parameters that significantly
influence the success of miscible CO2 injection.

Recommendation:

1.Experiment with injection water and carbon dioxide at the same time , but in
different wells.

2.Perform economic Risk analysis.

3. While working on the project, it was found that date matching required a lot
of production and pressure history data . This means obtaining
(confidential)basic primary data that is not available. The lack of basic primary
data can also contribute significantly to inaccurate matching of dates.

4. It has been difficult to deeply understand the concept of miscible CO2


injection to enhance oil recovery, Therefore, it is recommended that students
who have at least a basic background in petroleum engineering should pursue
this project to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the project using
GEM.
