Depositional and post-depositional (diagenetic) processes control the distribution of porosity and permeability within petroleum reservoir rocks. The understanding of these controls is essential for the construction of models for the systematic characterization and prediction of the quality (porosity, permeability) of petroleum reservoirs during their exploration and production. The description...

Reservoir simulation is ubiquitous in the petroleum industry, and conditioning models to production data (history matching) has become an essential job of reservoir engineers. Traditional history matching methods directly perturb reservoir properties without regard to the existing geological continuity. When the geological heterogeneity is destroyed, the result is often a history-matched model ...

Reservoir regulation and operational decision-making construct an extremely complex process, which shows the apparent semi-structured or unstructured characteristics. It is difficult to use only mathematical models to describe, and the models must be constantly amended and combined with practical experience in a variety of regulation schemes. In addition, the implementation of the regulation de...

This study aims to investigate the different management policies of multi-reservoir systems and their impact on the demand supply and hydropower generation in Great Karun River basin. For this purpose, the semi-distributed simulation-optimization  model of the Great Karun River basin is developed. Also, the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to optimize the develop...

XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) is the language proposed by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) to interchange process definitions between different workflow products. The goal of XPDL is to provide a Lingua Franca for the workflow domain allowing for the import and export process definitions between a variety of tools ranging from workflow management systems to modeling and simulat...

Background The SimTech Cluster of Excellence [1] studies multi-scale and multi-field simulation methods. These methods aim for combining different scales (e.g. cells, tissue, bone, skeleton) and different scientific fields (e.g., chemistry, biology, and physics) into one overall simulation. The Institute of Architecture of Application Systems (IAAS) has built a workflow management system that i...

Even with the fractured wells, primary oil recovery of low-permeability reservoirs is still poor in Block X Shengli Oilfield. To further enhance recovery, water injected into reservoir. Different from conventional injection scheme, maximum daily rate proposed scheme by Oilfield reaches 2000 m3, and average around 1500 m3. Thus, well spacing certain pattern not suitable for novel scheme. In pape...

AbstractBackground. Improvement of quality, decrease of terms and cost of construction are inseparably linked with problems of effective use of bulldozer equipment. Purpose. The most important problem of control tractions modes of the bulldozer is the fullest use of traction opportunities of the machine at the expense of management of work tool. Automatic maintenance of the maximum traction pow...

permeability is a key parameter in reservoir characterization. in fact, without accurate information about reservoir permeability, there is no good solution for reservoir engineering problems. up to now, permeability values of a reservoir have been calculated through laboratory measurements or well testing methods. these methods are useful but they cannot describe a reservoir reliably and preci...
