History Matching of Structurally Complex Reservoirs Using a Distance-based Model Parameterization

This paper proposes a novel history matching method where reservoir structure is inverted from dynamic fluid flow response. The proposed workflow consists of searching for models that match production history from a large set of prior structural model realizations. This prior set represents the reservoir structural uncertainty due to interpretation uncertainty on seismic sections. To make such ...

Repairing Structurally Complex Data

We present a novel algorithm for repairing structurally complex data. Given an assertion that represents desired structural integrity constraints and a structure that violates them, the algorithm performs repair actions that mutate the given structure to generate a new structure that satisfies the constraints. Assertions are written as imperative predicates, which can express rich structural pr...

Modeling complex ecological systems: an introduction

The world is replete with all kinds of complex systems, be they ecological, social, economic, or political. Nevertheless, complex systems share several common characteristics. First, they are thermodynamically open, meaning that they exchange energy and/or mass with their environment. Second, they are often composed of a large number of diverse components. Third, system components interact with...
