Study application of reservoir simulation of Umm al-Furud field by using BOAST98 and EDBOAST software

الملخص EN

The Umm-Faroud field is one of the Arabian Gulf Oil Company oil fields; it is located in the central part of the Sirt Basin of Libya.

Boast98 software was used to simulate the reservoir for its availability, and capacity to provide the requirements of the study.

the conceptual model of this study contains 4 oil-producing reservoir layers and four intervening sealing layers of the very low vertical permeability.

As of December 1995, a total of 17 wells have been drilled in the field, amongst these wells, there are 8 oil producers, 6 water injectors, and 3 water sources.

as part of this study, most of the data needed for modeling purposes has been prepared and arraigned in a simulation format input data, the latter includes model geometry (Ax, Ay, Az, and depth to tops), petrophysical parameters (porosity and permeability), PVT properties, permeability saturation data, capillary pressure saturation data, initial pressure and saturation, well locations, aquifer model design data.
