In the recent years, the growing demand for energy on the one hand and the reduction of conventional hydrocarbon reserves on the other hand have made the proper extraction of oil and gas reserves, i.e. reservoir management issues, more important and hence proper management of these reserves is inevitable. Although renewable energies currently provide the bulk of the world’s energy needs, hydrocarbon fuels remain the main source of energy until 2035.Despite the growing importance of the Integrated Reservoir Management Model (IRMI), as a rational solution to maximize economic production from oil and gas reservoirs, a comprehensive model that can cover all reservoir management modules has not yet been proposed. In this paper, by examining the current condition of reservoir management in one of the subsidiaries of the National Iranian Oil company and analyzing the obtained results, we offer some solutions to improve the condition and finally, we present a comprehensive model for reservoir management in this company.
