Introduction
Many gas and oil reservoirs are produced by a
mechanism termed water drive. Often this is called STEP

This response comes in a form of water influx,
commonly called water encroachment, which is
attributed to:
• Expansion of the water in the aquifer Click History Matching then select All, so we get
• Compressibility of the aquifer rock graph data below

• Artesian flow where the water-bearing formation

Reservoir-aquifer systems are commonly
classified on the basis of:
• Degree of pressure maintenance
• Flow regimes
• Outer boundary conditions
• Flow geometries Click Run History Simulation then Calc so we get the
data like this

Methodology and Theory

The material balance equation can be used to determine historical water influx provided original oil in place is
known from pore volume estimates. This permits evaluation of the constants in the influx equations so that future
water influx rate can be forecaste.
The VEH model is the most sophisticated of all these models. Its main advantage is its realism. Originally, its
main disadvantage was its cumbersome nature. Charts or tables had to be consulted repeatedly to execute a single
calculation.
Van Everdingen and Hurst (1949) proposed solutions to the dimensionless diffusivity equation for the
following two reservoir-aquifer boundary conditions:
• Constant terminal rate
• Constant terminal pressure
For the constant-terminal-rate boundary condition, the rate of water influx is assumed constant for a given
period; and the pressure drop at the reservoir-aquifer boundary is calculated.
For the constant-terminal-pressure boundary condition, a boundary pressure drop is assumed constant over
some finite time period, and the water influx rate is determined. From the data run simulation we can determine
the value of Recovery Factor on 2/9/2010 is
1.27519 %.
So from the value of Recovery Factor we can
determine the value of Estimated Remaining
Reserve as below :
RF= 1.27519 % = 0.0127519
OOIP = 619.517 MMSTB
EUR = (RF*OOIP)
= (0.0127519*70) MMSTB
Conclusion Referance = 0.892633 MMSTB
= 0.89 MMSTB
