Abstract

One solution for water coning problem is Downhole Water Sink (DWS) system. A dual completion system is used to produce the oil perforated zone and the water separated zone separately. Pressure drawdown in the water zone is used to oppose pressure drawdown in the oil zone so the water-oil contact is remained stable and prevents the water coning. A DWS guideline plot proposed by Marhaendrajana and Alliyah is used as a basis in application of DWS by using real field data. This research aimed to apply the DWS guideline plot to get the benefit of DWS which is controlling the water coning problem. A geological reservoir model has been upscaled and history-matched into a representative dynamic reservoir model used in this study. The simulation is conducted by applying 5 scenarios in DWS application considering the number of active wells and the variation of flow rate in this reservoir. DWS guideline plot and its application using real field data gave good results in increasing oil recovery with some concern related with the amount of water produced in water perforated zone. The best scenario which is using DWS in high and medium rate wells group gave 16.24% recovery factor.
