Benefiting from Variogram Information to Characterize Facies Distribution in History Matching with EnKF*

چکیده
Constraining reservoir models to available field observation is an important step in reservoir simulation process especially when models aim at further development decision making. In the past two decades, several assisted history-matching methodologies have been proposed to help in the matter (gradient methods, streamlines, etc. Oliver and Chen, 2011). More recently, ensemble based methodologies were adapted from other domains to perform reservoir history matching (Evensen, 2007).

A Semi-Analytical Method for History Matching and Improving Geological Models of Layered Reservoirs: CGM Analytical Method
History matching is used to constrain flow simulations and reduce uncertainty in forecasts. In this work, we revisited some fundamental engineering tools for predicting waterflooding behavior to better understand the flaws in our simulation and thus find some models which are more accurate with better matching. The Craig-Geffen-Morse (CGM) analytical method was used to predict recovery performa...
متن کاملDistance Dependent Localization Approach in Oil Reservoir History Matching: A Comparative Study
To perform any economic management of a petroleum reservoir in real time, a predictable and/or updateable model of reservoir along with uncertainty estimation ability is required. One relatively recent method is a sequential Monte Carlo implementation of the Kalman filter: the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). The EnKF not only estimate uncertain parameters but also provide a recursive estimat...
متن کاملFacies Modeling of Heterogeneous Carbonates Reservoirs by Multiple Point Geostatistics
Facies modeling is an essential part of reservoir characterization. The connectivity of facies model is very critical for the dynamic modeling of reservoirs. Carbonate reservoirs are so heterogeneous that variogram-based methods like sequential indicator simulation are not very useful for facies modeling. In this paper, multiple point geostatistics (MPS) is used for facies modeling in one of th...
متن کاملSPE 107161 History Matching and Production Forecast Uncertainty by Means of the Ensemble Kalman Filter: a Real Field Application
During history match reservoir models are calibrated against production data to improve forecasts reliability. Often, the calibration ends up with a handful of matched models, sometime achieved without preserving the prior geological interpretation. This makes the outcome of many history matching projects unsuitable for a probabilistic approach to production forecast, then motivating the quest ...
متن کاملUpdating multipoint simulations using the ensemble Kalman filter
In the last two decades, the multipoint simulation (MPS) method has been developed and increasingly used for building complex geological facies models that are conditioned to geological and geophysical data. In the meantime, the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) approach has been developed and recognized as a promising way for assimilating dynamic production data into reservoir models. So far, the ...
