The quest for efficient and scalable parallel reservoir simulators has been evolving with the advancement of high performance computing architectures. Among the various challenges of efficiency and scalability, load imbalance is a major obstacle that has not been fully addressed and solved. The reasons that cause load imbalance in parallel reservoir simulation are both static and dynamic. Robus...

Petro physics, rock physics and multi-attribute analysis have been employed in an integrated approach to delineate porosity variation across Tamag Field of Niger Delta Basin. Gamma and resistivity logs were employed to identify sand bodies and correlated across the field. Petro physical analysis was undertaken. Rock physics modelling and multi-attribute analysis were carried out. Two hydrocarbo...

Double-porosity materials were introduced as models for oil and gas reservoirs having both storage and transport porosities, and were at first usually treated as static mechanical systems in order to study the flow patterns of fluids during reservoir pump down. Because fluid withdrawal normally increases the effective stress acting on the reservoir, it also turns out to be important to study th...

We discuss the derivation of master equations in the presence of initial correlations with the reservoir. In van Hove’s limit, the total system behaves as if it started from a factorized initial condition. A proper choice of Nakajima–Zwanzig’s projection operator is crucial and the reservoir should be endowed with the mixing property.
