Abstract

Operation of a mature pool requires increasing cost control and infrastructure optimization and consolidation to maintain profitability. The decision to initiate this type of reservoir-management plan, sometimes described as harvest, is driven in part by reservoir-performance analysis and in part by commodity prices. The full-length paper presents the account of a 3.7-Tcf sour-gas pool in Alberta, Canada, and the technical impact of harvest on field operations, reservoir performance, and ultimate recovery. The combination of new production-decline analysis and a well workover with surprising results led to a complete change in reservoir interpretation.
