The West Kingfish Field in the Gippsland Basin, offshore Victoria, has been developed from the West King-fish platform by Esso Australia Ltd (operator) and BHP Petroleum.The structure is an essentially separate, largely stratigraphic accumulation that forms the western flank of the Kingfish feature. A total of 19 development wells were drilled from the West Kingfish platform between October 1982 and May 1984. Information provided by these wells was used in a West Kingfish post-development geologic study and a reservoir simulation study.As a result of these studies the estimated recoverable oil volume has been increased 55 per cent to 27.0 stock tank gigalitres (170 million stock tank barrels). The studies also formed the technical basis for obtaining new oil classification of the P-1.1 reservoir which is the only sand body that has been found in the Gurnard Formation in the Kingfish area.The simulation study was accomplished with an extremely high level of efficiency due to the extensive and effective use of computer graphics technology in model construction, history matching and predictions.Computer graphics technology has also been used very effectively in presenting the simulation study results in an understandable way to audiences with various backgrounds. A portable microcomputer has been used to store hundreds of graphic displays which are projected with a large screen video projector.Presentations using this new display technology have been well received and have been very successful in conveying the results of a complex reservoir simulation study and in identifying future field development opportunities to audiences with various backgrounds.

Reservoir Simulation Model

Most of the current research and commercial reservoir simulators lack the capability to handle complex completion details like perforation tunnels in a simulation study. In most common applications, the simplified handling of completion complexity in reservoir simulations is not expected to introduce significant error in simulation results. However, it has been found that under certain circumstances, especially in high rate wells that have become more and more common in deepwater oil and profilic gas development, exclusion of the complex completion details in a reservoir simulation model would lead to nontrivial errors. New equations have been proposed to assess the needs to incorporate completion details in a reservoir simulation study based on the understanding of the fluid flow in a formation, the fluid flow along a wellbore and the fluid flow through perforation tunnels if exist. A series of sensitivity studies with different completion options under different flow and reservoir environments has been conducted to provide some guidance to improve well performance prediction through reservoir simulation. Impacts of key parameters like perforation density, perforation diameter, perforation length, wellbore length, borehole diameter, well completion configuration, well placement, reservoir permeability, reservoir heterogeneity, pressure drawdown, etc, have also been investigated.

<em>Steamflood is the most successful thermal EOR applied throughout the world and have produced the biggest portion of oil from EOR methods. As high intensity energy and associated cost are put to produce oil, optimization in any level can have tremendous impacts. Optimization in steamflood operation can be achieved by optimizing steam injection (rate, time), especially in mature pattern/ field or nearing the end of field life/ abandonment. This objective can be done thru utilization of retained heat in the reservoir and overburden/ underburden as they are not instantaneously produced with fluids. By using reservoir simulation, it can be shown that injection is not necessary to be continue until abandonment but can be stopped at a much earlier time hence a much profitable steamflood operation can be achieved.</em>
