Computer-implemented systems and methods are provided for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from subsurface formations, including subsurface formations having bottom water or edgewater. A system and method can be configured to receive data indicative of by-pass oil areas in the subsurface formation from reservoir simulation, identify flow barriers in the sub-surface formation based on the by-pass oil areas identified by the reservoir simulation, and predict the lateral extension of the identified flow barriers m the subsurface formation Infill horizontal wells can be placed at areas of the subsurface formation relative to the flow barriers such that production from a horizontal well in the subsurface formation optimizes hydrocarbon recovery.

L'invention concerne des systèmes et des procédés informatisés pour optimiser la récupération dhydrocarbures à partir de formations souterraines, notamment des formations souterraines comportant de l'eau de fond de puits ou de l'eau de bordure. Un système et un procédé peuvent être configurés pour recevoir des données indiquant des zones pétrolifères de contournement dans la formation souterraine à partir d'une simulation de réservoir, identifier des barrières d'écoulement dans la formation souterraine sur la base des zones pétrolifères de contournement identifiées par la simulation de réservoir, et prédire l'extension latérale des barrières d'écoulement identifiées dans la formation souterraine. Des puits horizontaux de remplissage peuvent être placés dans des zones de la formation souterraine par rapport aux barrières d'écoulement, de telle sorte que la production dun puits horizontal dans la formation souterraine optimise la récupération dhydrocarbures.
