ENHANCED USE OF NUMERICAL METHODS FOR
RESERVOIR DESCRIPTION USING WELL TEST AND PRODUCTION DATA

Well test and production data analysis are two primary techniques for dynamic reservoir description. These two approaches are traditionally based on simplified and average analytical solutions. However, these idealized solutions cannot be easily used for complex reservoir characterization studies. Without having efficient data integration methods and a robust flow simulator, conducting numerical studies become cumbersome. The purpose of this project is to design new and adapt existing workflows for efficient data analysis and dynamic reservoir description in well testing and production data analysis.

ENHANCED TECHNIQUES FOR HISTORY MATCHING AND FORECASTING

History matching refers to calibrating numerical or analytical models by observed data. However, this task can be very challenging in the presence of complex geology and/or many unknown data. The purpose of this project is to introduce and apply new techniques for building predictive history-matched models for reservoir characterization of conventional and unconventional reservoirs, which can be used for probabilistic forecast and uncertainty quantification. The purpose of this project is to design new and adapt existing workflows that can enhance the history matching task in various problems. This includes the use and applications of state-of-the-art methods that can represent the geology and can efficiently and accurately calibrate the dynamic models by minimizing the computational cost.
