The use of enhanced oil recovery methods (EOR) is key to extend the life of mature oilfields in Argentina. The high investment they require however, calls for detailed studies and 3D modelling of the reservoir to provide for robust forecasts. The EOR Study group in YPF focuses a great deal of its efforts in the implementation of OER techniques in the fluvial reservoirs of the golfo San Jorge basin. The specific challenges of characterizing and modelling low net-to-gross fluvial reservoirs in this basin has encouraged sedimentological studies at different scales: semi-regional (field), block, pilot and detail. Although only the models of pilot and block scale may be dynamically simulated to reproduce the field history or provide forecasts, the studies and models at other scales provide very important information either incorporated in the simulation models or kept in consideration for uncertainty management. Information derived from sedimentological studies therefore, are a mayor consideration for building reservoir models and ultimately decision making.
