Sakarya Gas Field Project

Integrated Reservoir &
Asset Modeling

Developed an integrated reservoir and asset model for the Sakarya Gas Field, Turkey's largest natural gas discovery, using advanced simulation technologies to enhance forecasting accuracy and optimize development planning.

Project Overview

The project involved building a dynamic simulation using Petrel RE and INTERSECT, calibrated with SLB's IAM software to enhance forecasting accuracy and reduce simulation runtime by approximately 30%. The coupled model enabled scenario-based development planning and efficient decision-making for Turkish Petroleum (TPAO).
