Increasing of the oil recovery is an essential task of the reservoir engineers. Many highly fractured carbonate reservoirs with low matrix porosity and low matrix permeability in the world have been depleted with low ultimate recovery due to the improper management. To obtain higher oil recovery and an optimum oil production, a three dimensional geological model for the reservoir is needed. The reservoir model should be calibrated via the history matching process which makes the model reliable for forecasting and development planning. An investigation has been carried out to find the most sensitive parameter which affects the matching between the real production data and the simulated production data. After the calibration of the model, some prediction scenarios have been run to realize the future performance of the reservoir. Three wells have been suggested and included in the simulation as producers in some prediction cases and as gas injectors in another other case. The results show that the three producers with low production rate will assist in increasing the recovery and by converting those to gas injectors will assist more especially when the oil production rate is higher. An oil field in Kurdistan region has been selected for this research.
