Fuzzy rule based systems have been very popular in many engineering applications. In petroleum engineering, fuzzy rules are normally constructed using some fuzzy rule extraction techniques to establish the petrophysical properties prediction model. However, when generating fizzy rules from the available information, it may result in a sparse fuzzy rule base. The use of more than one input varia...

Reservoir characterization and asset management require comprehensive information about formation fluids. In fact, it is not possible to find accurate solutions to many petroleum engineering problems without having accurate pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data. Traditionally, fluid information has been obtained by capturing samples and then by measuring the PVT properties in a laboratory. In ...

Models of two phase flows in porous media, used in petroleum engineering, lead to a system of two coupled equations with elliptic and parabolic degenerate terms, and two unknowns, the saturation and the pressure. For the purpose of their approximation, a coupled scheme, consisting in a finite volume method together with a phase-by-phase upstream weighting scheme, is used in the industrial setti...
