Abstract
A method for production prediction using tracers in an oilfield system is disclosed. The method involves reading, by a computer processor, a set of subsurface field properties characterizing a field system, generating, by the computer processor, a base field model, creating, by the computer processor, a plurality of static models of the field system, running, by the computer processor, a suite of dynamic simulations to produce a plurality of tracer compositions, creating, by the computer processor, a filling envelope function based on the plurality of tracer compositions, calculating, by the computer processor, a production prediction for a measured tracer composition based on the filling envelope function, and executing, by the computer processor, a field operation based on the production prediction, wherein the field operation results in hydrocarbon being extracted from a trap reservoir.
