Abstract

Multiple simulation runs are required to optimise and quantify uncertainty and sensitivity analysis to determine and rank the impact of reservoir and operating parameters on the incremental oil recovery (∆RF) under miscible CO2-WAG flooding. The central composite design (CCD) was employed to create a statistical proxy model for ∆RF as a function of seven reservoir and operating parameters. Statistical analysis was employed to check the model adequacy. The importance and effect of variables that result to higher predicted ∆RF were investigated. As an analogue of the Nahr Umr reservoir, the reservoir understudy, the proxy model can be roughly applied to predict the ∆RF during the miscible CO2-WAG injection at depending on uncertainty. The reliability of the proxy model has been demonstrated based on many statistical tools.
