A system and method identify hydrocarbon productive reservoir zones using Monte Carlo numerical analysis to account for uncertainties in log measurements and petrophysical parameters. Random errors in logging tool responses and core measurements, as well as reservoir heterogeneity, are incorporated in a Monte Carlo simulation to output appropriate petrophysical models to calculate statistical distributions for saturation and permeability to define productive zones, non-productive zones and zones of undetermined productivity as a basis of deciding whether additional logging, core sampling or well test data are needed to reclassify the undetermined zones as either productive or non-productive. As uncertainties are quantified in the analysis, the degree of certainty in determining productive and non-productive zones is known and can be used to decide whether to further test, stimulate or abandon reservoir zones.

The invention investigates the effects of reservoir heterogeneity on IPR curves for horizontal wells drilled in heterogeneous solution gas drive reservoirs. To achieve the desired objective, a commercial simulator Eclipse is utilized to develop IPRs for horizontal wells producing oil from solution gas drive reservoirs. Firstly, a simulation model is developed where a base case is considered with typical rock, fluid and reservoir properties using a black oil model. Dimensionless IPR curves are generated by obtaining a set of points relating to flowing bottom-hole pressures to oil production rates. The effects of several reservoir and fluid properties such as bubblepoint pressure, oil gravity, residual oil saturation, critical gas saturation, initial water saturation, porosity and absolute permeabilities on the calculated curves are investigated.

Reservoir heterogeneity is included in the simulation model by incorporating a semi-variogram function. Finally, a new single empirical IPR model is obtained for horizontal wells producing oil from heterogeneous solution gas drive reservoirs suitable for systems with different reservoir permeability. The new empirical IPR model is then compared to published correlations and is found to have a small and acceptable average absolute error of less than 2%. Furthermore, the invention also shows that bubble point pressure has significant effect on dimensionless IPR curves. However, plots for other properties indicate that although the curves are not identical, they are similar in shape and demonstrate much less variance than the bubble point pressure plot. Therefore, these properties have only a minor effect on calculated, dimensionless IPR curves.
