Abstract
Historical production data associated with production of a hydrocarbon product in a reservoir is obtained. Historical tracer test data associated with the production is obtained. History matching is performed using the historical production data and the historical tracer test data to generate improved geological models. Production optimization is performed using the improved geological models, including predicting optimized controls and updating, using the predicted optimized controls, water injection rates and fluid production rates for individual injectors and producers. The predicted optimized controls are applied to the reservoir to optimize future production.
