Reservoir simulation models are utilized by oil and gas companies with a purpose to develop fields. Expansions and improvements in simulation software have lessened the time to develop a model. Simulating the reservoir aims to realize fluid flow, physical, and chemical procedures happening in a hydrocarbon reservoir adequately well for the reason of improving hydrocarbon recovery under various working stipulations. Grid-orientation effects are complicated problem in numerical reservoir simulation. These influences were coming when utilized of numerical utilization mechanism to conditions characterizing physically inconstant displacement procedure. These impacts happen in an assortment simulation of inappropriate and favourable mobility ratio displacements. The current study presents a building static and dynamic model and suggests a development plan for the reservoir under study and change the orientation of the grids to examine the effects of these changes on the values of oil production rate, water cut, pressure, cumulative oil production, and recovery factor. The case studies for an Iraqi oil field which is located in the South East of Iraq. Different values of recovery factors were obtained when the orientation of the grids had been changed.
