Abstract Field re-development planning for tertiary recovery projects in mature fields traditionally involves a comprehensive subsurface evaluation circle, including static/dynamic modeling, scenario assessment and candidate selection based on economic models. The aforementioned sequential approach is time-consuming and includes the risk of delaying project maturation. This work introduces a novel approach which integrates subsurface geological and …

Abstract Redevelopment of a mature field enables reassessment of the current field understanding to maximise its economic return. However, the redevelopment process is associated with several challenges: 1) analysis of large data sets is a time-consuming process, 2) extrapolation of the existing data on new areas is associated with significant uncertainties, 3) screening multiple potential …

Abstract The creation and matching of an integrated field model including a model for part of a giant field, well models and surface network model is considered here. The integrated model was created using an innovative method of solving a unified system of equations that cover all the physical processes in the reservoir-well-surface network system; …

Abstract Over the past decades, Assisted History Matching has been the new norm for history matching that leverages the rapid advancement in digital computational performance. Continuous advancements such as parallel computing and GPU accelerates numerical simulation which overcomes the cumbersome experience of working with large fine-scaled model that mainly concerns the simulation time and intervention …

Abstract This paper presents a probabilistic modeling and prediction workflow to capture the range of uncertainties and its application in a field with many wells and long history. A static model consisting of 19 layers and 293 wells was imported as the base model. Several reservoir properties such as relative permeability, PVT, aquifer, and initial …
