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 …

Abstract Infill drilling is a proved strategy to improve hydrocarbon recovery from reservoirs to increase production and maximize field value. Infill drilling projects address the following questions: 1) Where should the wells be drilled? 2) What should be their optimum trajectories? 3) What are the realistic ranges of incremental production of the infill wells? Answering …

Summary Rate-transient analysis (RTA) is a useful reservoir/hydraulic fracture characterization method that can be applied to multifractured horizontal wells (MFHWs) producing from low-permeability (tight) and shale reservoirs. In this paper, we applied a recently developed three-phase RTA technique to the analysis of production data from an MFHW completed in a low-permeability volatile oil reservoir in …

Abstract Recently unconventional gas resources including the shallow biogenic gas reservoirs have received great attention around the world due to technical advances in the field development and corresponding large in-place resources. However, the technologies needed for the effective development of unconventional reservoirs are still behind the industry needs, for example the gas recovery rates from …
