From outcrop to reservoir simulation model: Workflow and procedures

A Novel Assisted History Matching Workflow and its Application in a Full Field Reservoir Simulation Model

The significant increase in using reservoir simulation models poses significant challenges in the design and calibration of models. Moreover, conventional model calibration, history matching, is usually performed using a trial and error process of adjusting model parameters until a satisfactory match is obtained. In addition, history matching is an inverse problem, and hence it may have non-uni...

Stochastic Reservoir Simulation Using Neural Networks Trained on Outcrop Data

Extensive outcrop data or photographs of present day depositions or even simple drawings from expert geologists contain precious structural information about spatial continuity that is beyond the present tools of geostatistics essentially limited to two-point statistics (histograms and covariances). A neural net can be learned to collect multiple point statistics from various training images, t...

Consolidated Model of Procedures for Workflow Management

The article presents an approach to automation of business processes by means of a consolidated model describing a class of processes. Rules and examples for building a consolidated model are given. The model is validated through development of a software application called COMPASS-P for monitoring of procedures for evaluation and accreditation of education.

Sustainability and dynamics of outcrop-to-outcrop hydrothermal circulation

Most seafloor hydrothermal circulation occurs far from the magmatic influence of mid-ocean ridges, driving large flows of water, heat and solutes through volcanic rock outcrops on ridge flanks. Here we create three-dimensional simulations of ridge-flank hydrothermal circulation, flowing between and through seamounts, to determine what controls hydrogeological sustainability, flow rate and prefe...
