It is challenging to make optimal field development and reservoir management decisions with diminishing resources low-emission requirements. For an exploitation of the fluids, it necessary introduce advanced digital tools account for geological uncertainty when making decisions. This paper discusses ensemble-based probabilistic decision-making workflow closed-loop management. The model a synthe...

Reservoir model needs to be constrained by various data, including dynamic production data. Reservoir heterogeneities are usually described using geostatistical approaches. Constraining geologicaljgeostatistical mode! realizations by dynamic data is generally performed through history matching, which is a complex inversion process and requires a parameterization of the geostatistical realizatio...

A genetic algorithm is applied to the problem of conditioning the petrophysical rock properties of a reservoir model on historic production data. This is a difficult optimization problem where each evaluation of the objective function implies a flow simulation of the whole reservoir. Due to the high computing cost of this function, it is imperative to make use of an efficient optimization metho...

Reservoir simulation to predict production performance requires two steps: one is history-matching, and the other is uncertainty quantification in forecasting. In the process of history-matching, rock relative permeability curves are often altered to reproduce production data. However, guidelines for changing the shape of the curves have not been clearly established. The aim of this paper is to...

These days “estimating uncertainty” is the mantra. As we do this, we ask ourselves which is better: an array of geologically simple rapidly history-matched models, or a single geologically comprehensive, carefully history-matched model. After all, uncertainty, which is normally characterized by a range of forecasts from techniques such as Experimental Design, is difficult to quantify using just...

Typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. These errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. The aim of Approximate Record Matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. In this paper, an algorithm for Approximate Record Matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...
