Abstract

Methods and systems for increasing the recovery efficiency of a petroleum reservoir. For example, a method for performing a petroleum recovery assessment to increase the recovery efficiency of a petroleum reservoir includes evaluating results associated with a reservoir management analysis for the petroleum reservoir and generating a reservoir management analysis score. The method further includes evaluating results associated with a global benchmark analysis and generating an estimated maximum recovery efficiency for the petroleum reservoir. The method further includes determining key recovery obstacles impeding the petroleum reservoir from achieving the estimated maximum recovery efficiency, and identifying field development opportunities addressing a key recovery obstacle that when implemented, increases a recovery efficiency for the petroleum reservoir closer to the estimated maximum recovery efficiency.
