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 …

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 …
