Abstract This paper presents an integrated asset modeling approach for reservoir coupling of 2 Sour offshore Abu Dhabi fields with three and four complex undeveloped reservoirs for each field respectively with different fluid types ranging from low CGR sour gas to sour oil in one shared surface network (Figure 1). The proposed methodology involves the …

Recent hydrocarbon developments are generally characterised by high complexity and uncertainty with lower margins for error in an unpredictable financial market. This is further compounded by new oil and gas discoveries being typically smaller today, than in the past; highlighting the need for robust and fit-for-purpose reservoir models that accurately capture key uncertainties to inform …

Abstract Maps of organic matter distributions are an essential part of the basin modeling process for evaluation of conventional and unconventional hydrocarbon resources. This approach has become widespread for both assessment of the initial oil and gas generation potential and final assessment of the resource base. An important step in this method is pyrolysis of …

Integrating the subsurface model for CO2 sequestration with the surface facilities model is very important to ensure long term deliverability of CO2 to the subsurface formation. In this paper, A compositional dynamic reservoir model is fully implicitly integrated with wellbore and surface network model to evaluate CO2 sequestration in a deep saline aquifer, located offshore …

This study employs novel ensemble-based statistical techniques for type-well analysis to quickly analyze the production data from multiple wells in a reservoir. The method is based on functional principal component analysis (FPCA) that accounts for measurement noise and the sparsity of the production timeseries. In particular, the sparse FPCA method is used, which can extract …
