Deepwater turbidite s are an important example of this trend. In addition to their architectur al complexity some of these reservoirs contain substantial volumes of hete rolithic facies which may require non-conventional approaches to character ize and model. The use of pseudo-relative permeability curves has recentl y been shown to be helpful for history matching a key deepwater turbidite reservoir with a significant volume of heterolithic facies which is curren tly under waterflood operations in the offshore area of Equatorial Guinea. \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n Realistic lamina scale conceptual models for the h eterolithic facies were generated which were consistent with all static an d dynamic data resulting from a careful data collection program. Producin g profiles were obtained from reservoir simulation of these lamina scale m odels which used conventional oil-water relative permeability curves from laboratory experiments. However, following the scale up the resulting pro ducing profiles were found not to correspond with the profiles from the la mina scale models. Pseudo-relative permeability curves were subsequently generated for use with the scaled-up models in order to better match the p rofiles observed in the lamina scale conceptual models. \r\n \r\n \r\n \ r\n For the actual history match of a key reservoir in the field, the het erolithic facies were allowed to use either pseudo-relative permeability c urves or laboratory based relative permeability curves. However, the more conventional facies were only allowed to use the laboratory based relativ e permeability curves. The pseudo-relative permeability curves for the he terolithic facies consistently outperformed the conventional laboratory me asured &ldquo\;rock&rdquo\; relative permeability curves in terms of the h istory match quality. The pseudo-relative permeability curves for the het erolithic facies were thus selected for the final models. This finding su ggests that pseudo-relative permeability curves are still useful for certa in reservoir characterization and modeling applications.\r\n\r\n\n\n--- Th is iCal file does *NOT* confirm registration.Event details subject to chan ge. ---\r\n\r\n--- By Tendenci - The Open Source AMS for Associations ---\ r\n UID:uid1542@spegcs.org SUMMARY:Reservoir: Do We Still Need Pseudo-Relative Permeability?
