    The document summarizes the Wytch Farm Field Development Project. The field is located in Dorset, UK and produces from the Sherwood Sandstone reservoir. Primary recovery from the field has been low at 4.6% due to the reservoir's aquifer and solution gas drive mechanisms. Water injection has been identified as the preferred secondary recovery method. The project team developed a fine-scale 3D simulation model which was then upscaled to an 82,000 cell model to assess recovery mechanisms, propose a development plan, and justify additional data acquisition needs to increase recovery from the field.
