Deep-learning-based surrogate flow modeling and geological parameterization for data assimilation in 3D subsurface flow

Reduced-order flow modeling and geological parameterization for ensemble-based data assimilation

Reduced-order modeling represents an attractive approach for accelerating computationally expensive reservoir simulation applications. In this paper, we introduce and apply such a methodology for data assimilation problems. The technique applied to provide flow simulation results, trajectory piecewise linearization (TPWL), has been used previously for production optimization problems, where it ...

Data Assimilation Application to the Subsurface Flow and Solute Transport

Surface-subsurface flow modeling with path-based runoff routing, boundary condition-based coupling, and assimilation of multisource observation data

[1] A distributed physically based model incorporating novel approaches for the representation of surface-subsurface processes and interactions is presented. A path-based description of surface flow across the drainage basin is used, with several options for identifying flow directions, for separating channel cells from hillslope cells, and for representing stream channel hydraulic geometry. La...

Modeling Critical Flow through Choke for a Gas-condensate Reservoir Based on Drill Stem Test Data

Gas-condensate reservoirs contain hydrocarbon fluids with characteristics between oil and gas reservoirs and a high gas-liquid ratio. Due to the large gas-liquid ratio, wellhead choke calculations using the empirical equations such as Gilbert may contain considerable error. In this study, using drill stem test (DST) data of a gas-condensate reservoir, coefficients of Gilbert equation was modifi...
