PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PROGRAM
MotivationsImprove Static & Dynamic Reservoir Engineering Workflows forMiddle East Carbonate Reservoirs• Lack of Realistic Synthetic Models Due to Confidentiality Clauses
• Need for Building Specific High-Resolution Models
• Field Development Plans with Water Injection & Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR)
• Carbone Dioxide Sequestration

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PROGRAM
Objectives• Build Realistic Synthetic Models of Middle East Carbonate Reservoirs
• Integrate Geological & Reservoir Data, Knowledge & Expertise
• Benchmark Innovative Advanced Reservoir Engineering Workflows
• Establish Better Practices in Carbonate Reservoir Characterization,Modeling, Simulation & Engineering
Production historyForecasting with a possible range of
uncertainty
Drill a new well? IOR or EOR? Sell out the field?

PETROLEUM ENGINEERING PROGRAM
Why a JIP?• A Form of Close Collaboration between Academia & Industry
• Co-financing a JIP: Share Cost but Obtain More Results
• Each JIP Member Benefits from: Customized Work Package
Complete Portfolio of All Other Work Packages

Geological Context & Reservoir Data
Chronostratigraphic column of the Jurassic and Cretaceous formations, Qatar; after [van Buchem et al. 2014].
Stratigraphic column of the Upper Jurassic Arab Formation;
after [Clark et al. 2004].
• Gathering Data from Field & Outcrop Analogues, Laboratory Studies, etc.
• Analysing Geological Context, Data & Capabilities
• Selecting Reservoirs Among the Most Suitable for the Study
• Performing Flow Simulation & Sensitivity Studies
