Zusammenfassung:A methodology using an interwell connectivity model for hydrocarbon management is disclosed. The interwell connectivity model may include interwell connectivity metrics indicative of fluid interconnectivity amongst pairs of wells and may be used as predictive or prescriptive for enhanced oil recovery (EOR). As predictive, the interwell connectivity model may be used to determine an effect of gas injection into the reservoir on one or more aspects of EOR, such as reservoir pressure or production rates. As prescriptive, the interwell connectivity model may be used to improve or optimize various stages of EOR, such as during drilling or construction of the extraction site, during primary depletion, or during one or more huff-and-puff cycles.
