This paper reports the characterization and reservoir description of the Rainbow Keg River F pool located in north-western Alberta, Canada. Significant improvements in reservoir description were made through further delineation of geological structure with a three-dimensional (3D) seismic program, evaluations of residual oil with sponge-core analysis, and a geostatistical reservoir description that uses kriging. Increased accuracy in reservoir analysis was required for the evaluation of the remaining resources under a mature waterflood. The characterization is examined by matching a cross-sectional reservoir model to production performance, including oil/water-contact (OWC) and gas/oil-contact (GOC) history as well as reservoir-pressure surveys. The result of the program is discussed.
