10. Press the Tools button at the bottom of the screen, and select Copy events using filter. This will open a
new window. In the Select Wells tab, check on Well 9 and then go to the Select Dates tab. Check the date
1991-01-01 and press the Search & Add button. The window should look like this:

11. Click OK and the same constraint information created for Well 7 will now be copied to Well 9. If a message
pops up requesting to change the well type for Well 9, say Yes. Press OK to close the Well Events
window.
12. Make sure that the View Type is set to IK-2D X-Sec (located in the upper left hand corner of the main
Builder window).
13. Even though we defined Well 7 as an injector, provided constraint information and defined the trajectory
path, perforations need to be defined along the trajectory path.(Note: There is no perforation information for
Well 7 in PERFS_Meter.perf file.)
14. On main Builder menu, select Well / Well Completions (PERF) Click on
select the grid blocks where you want the well completions to be. Change the Plane Slider to 15 (it may be 16
based on grid positioning) and zoom in to the section containing Well 7 so that you can see the trajectory
for Well 7. Use your mouse to click in grid blocks 1, 2 and 3 along the Well 7 trajectory in the main Builder
window. Press
when you are done. Your screen should look similar to figure 20 below. Press

15. If everything is OK, all of the tabs in the tree view should have a green checkmark. The Dates under Wells
& Recurrent tab may still have a yellow exclamation mark. This can be removed by deleting ALTER 0 at
1991-09-01 using Delete event using filter. option in Well Events Window.

4. Select the file to display data from as Tutorial_hm.irf. Select curve parameter Oil Rate SC. Choose Well
3 for the Origin and then Click OK.
5. Now repeat the same steps but this time select the file as production-history.fhf, as we want to compare
the simulated data with the historical input data. You should now see a plot similar to:
8. In the Repeat Plots window, select the All Producers option and OK to generate the plots.
9. You should now have a series of plots showing the historical data and simulator calculation for each of your
production wells.

10. You can now continue to investigate the results from these datasets in Results Graph and Results 3D, and
interactively discover the large range of features that are available to you for analyzing your data. Exit
Graph and save the template file.

15. Click Apply, a new constraint will be created in the date 1991-09-01 for Well 1. The next task will be to
copy the same constraint to all the other wells to do the forecast.
16. Highlight the Well 1 constraints Event for 1991-09-01 (in the Name/Date list). Click the Tools button at the
bottom of the screen and select Copy events using filter.
17. On the Select Wells tab; check Producers and Select, then on the Select Dates tab check on 199109-01. At this tab; make sure to check on Do you want to create new dates?. This option creates new
date for wells which are already shut in because of production history event. Press the Clear List button.
Press the Search & Add button, then OK. All the wells except wells 7 & 9 will have a new constraint
starting 1991-09-01.
18. On the Well Event window; you might see ALTER event equal to 0 on 1991-09-01. This should be deleted
from prediction data file (Figure 24).

25. Select the production-history.fhf file we created in the Creating Field Production History section of the
tutorial.
26. Click on the Add curve icon
27. Select the file to display data from as Tutorial_pred.irf. Select curve parameter Oil Rate SC; then Click OK.
28. Now repeat the same steps, but this time select the file as production_history.fhf, as we want to compare
the prediction run and the history match run.
29. To increase the size of the historical data markers select menu item View; Properties.
30. Select the Curve tab and increase the marker size from 4 to 8 and Click OK.
31. You should now see a plot similar to:
FIGURE 25: Plot of Simulation Data versus Historical Data with Future Prediction
32. Repeat the same procedure as above except this time plot the Water Cut variable. Save the file and exit.
Adding an Aquifer
The next thing we want to do is add an aquifer, and compare the simulation runs with and without an aquifer to see
the difference it makes.
1. Drag and drop Tutorial_hm.dat onto the Builder icon.
2. Once in Builder go to the Reservoir and select Create/Edit Aquifers.
(Alternatively, you can just click on the Create/Edit Aquifers button
3. Select the first listed type Bottom aquifer, and OK the panel.

Further Analysis
When you view the ternary plot for Tutorial_pred.irf in Results 3D it seems that there is quite a bit of oil left in the
southern anticline at the end of this simulation, especially in layer K = 2. As part of our reservoir plan we would like
to put in a horizontal well on 1/1/1992 to access this remaining oil.

9. Right click on this well and select Validate to display any error or warning messages. The message should
indicate that there are no valid perforations. Click Ok to close the window.
10. Click the + sign next to W11 and double click on 1991-12-01 PERF.
207322393.doc

11. In the Well Completion Data (PERF) panel that appears, select the Perforations tab.
12. Click the Begin button to Add perfs with the mouse, then click on the tool button for Advanced options for
perforating intermediate blocks between mouse clicks.
13. Check the Perforate all intermediate blocks box, and check the box to Set constant well length and
leave the well length at the default of 1000m. Then click OK.
14. Now, move the Well Completion Data (PERF) panel to the side so that the model grid can be viewed.
Using the knowledge gained from the previously displayed oil saturation plot from RESULTS 3D, select an
area in the model that has both high oil saturation, and low well density. Once the area for the new
horizontal has been selected, click once to add the first perforation. Move the mouse to a position
approximately near the end of the 1000m horizontal well and click a second time. Click OK to exit.
15. Well W11 should have appeared on your display. You can also view it in JK cross section around plane 12.
Note, the exact grid block position may vary slightly from that displayed below:
29/01/2014
33
Left double click on well W11 to see that there is one date associated with it 1991-12-01. If there is also the
simulation start date 1991-01-01 then select this date in the tree view, right mouse click and select "Delete".
This will remove this unwanted date.
17. Well 11 is now fully defined. We save the dataset as Tutorial_Pred1.dat, and exit.
Now run in IMEX the dataset and compare it with tutorial_pred.dat. Look at the oil saturation at the end of
the simulation in Results 3D and the Field oil production rate in Results Graph. Note the increased
production when the horizontal well opens. Also, oil left in the southern anticline decreased when viewed in
Results 3D.

Property modifications
2. After you get a "decent" history match you should create a restart file, so you can start doing predictions
3. Run your predictions up to 2005-09-01, and save the file as Predict_your_name.dat, so we can compare
the results.
4. In order to run your predictions, consider:
a. Drilling new wells
b. Inject water
c.
inject gas
