Well Placement Optimization Techniques and Energy Dissipation Contour:
Given the fact that (in an under-saturated oil reservoir, during primary recovery) a relatively larger amount of oil can be driven towards the production well with a shorter distance (rather than driving a small amount of oil to a larger distance) – resulting from a relatively larger dissipation of energy due to the gas pressure (the dissolved gas in the oil being the propulsive force driving the oil), will it remain more difficult to deduce ‘energy dissipation contours’ resulting from the spatial and temporal distribution of gas pressures (based on the actual reservoir physics) rather than following the sophisticated well placement optimization techniques – in the context of maximizing NPV?
