Abstract
ABSTRACT The degree of heterogeneity that can exist in carbonate reservoirs and the effect that heterogeneity can have on recovery efficiency has long been recognized. In sandstone reservoirs, the degree to which heterogeneity can exist and its effect on recovery efficiency is often overlooked or not considered in the development of a well spacing program. A recent study was conducted to determine the appropriate spacing for a newly discovered reservoir in Alabama. The results of this study indicated that in order to maximize recovery efficiency and present worth, closer spacing of wells would be required due to reservoir heterogeneity, reservoir size and configuration, the thickness of the reservoir and the amount of oil in place.
