This paper examines the validity of a recently introduced reservoir simulation and modeling technique. The technique, that is named Top-Down Intelligent Reservoir Modeling, TDIRM (not to be confused with BP’s TDRM history matching technique), integrates traditional reservoir engineering analysis with Artificial Intelligence & Data Mining (AI&DM) technology in order to arrive at a full field mod...

many large oil and gas fields in the most productive world regions happen to be fractured. the exploration and development of these reservoirs is a true challenge for many operators. these difficulties are due to uncertainties in geological fracture properties such as aperture, length, connectivity and intensity distribution. to successfully address these challenges, it is paramount to improve ...

In this paper, we illustrate the modeling of a reservoir property (sand fraction) from seismic attributes namely seismic impedance, seismic amplitude, and instantaneous frequency using Neuro-Fuzzy (NF) approach. Input dataset includes 3D post-stacked seismic attributes and six well logs acquired from a hydrocarbon field located in the western coast of India. Presence of thin sand and shale laye...

water injection is an enhanced oil recovery method which is applied for number of reservoirs especially in the offshore fields around the world. sea-water injection process is usually associated with important concerns affecting the efficiency, safety, and economy of the operation like formation damage, mineral scaling, early breakthrough and corrosion. incompatibility between injected and form...

ReservoirBench is an interactive workbench for educational geological science and engineering tasks. It is designed to facilitate education of novice audiences to teach them basic concepts of reservoir modeling and simulation workflow. Traditional training using lectures and software practice can lead to information overload, and retainability is questionable. As an alternative, we propose a ph...
