Abstract

An integrated model that couples surface and subsurface models was developed for a huge carbonate oil reservoir overlain by a large gas-cap located in the Middle East region. The main objective of the integrated model is to quickly evaluate changes in production strategy and provide more accurate forecast of field performance than with conventional approaches where surface and subsurface are evaluated separately.
