Differences between stress-based and strain-based criteria are investigated in seismic performance evaluation of the arch dams in time domain. A numerical model of the coupled dam-reservoir-foundation system is prepared with the finite element technique. Reservoir is modeled using the Eulerian approach as a compressible domain, and the foundation rock is assumed to be massless. Dynamic equilibr...

Reservoir simulation is routinely employed in the prediction of reservoir performance under different depletion and operating scenarios. Usually, a single history matched model, conditioned to production data, is obtained. The model is then used to forecast future production profiles. Since the history match is non-unique, this is essentially an inverse problem. Hence the forecast production pr...

Water injection is an enhanced oil recovery method which is applied for number of reservoirs especially in the offshore fields around the world. Sea-water injection process is usually associated with important concerns affecting the efficiency, safety, and economy of the operation like formation damage, mineral scaling, early breakthrough and corrosion. Incompatibility between injected and ...

Reservoir Computing is a novel computing paradigm that uses a nonlinear recurrent dynamical system to carry out information processing. Recent electronic and optoelectronic Reservoir Computers based on an architecture with a single nonlinear node and a delay loop have shown performance on standardized tasks comparable to state-of-the-art digital implementations. Here we report an all-optical im...

Echo state networks (ESNs) with multi-clustered reservoir topology perform better in reservoir computing and robustness than those with random reservoir topology. However, these ESNs have a complex reservoir topology, which leads to difficulties in reservoir generation. This study focuses on the reservoir generation problem when ESN is used in environments with sufficient priori data available....

For the characteristics of horizontal fractures in shallow low-permeability oil layers after hydraulic fracturing in multilayer reservoirs, horizontal fractures are taken equivalent to an elliptical cylinder with the reservoir thickness using the equivalent permeability model; then, upon the elliptic seepage theory, the seepage field which has led by a vertical well with horizontal fractures is...

We shed light on the key ingredients of reservoir computing and analyze the contribution of the network dynamics to the spatial encoding of inputs. Therefore, we introduce attractor-based reservoir networks for processing of static patterns and compare their performance and encoding capabilities with a related feedforward approach. We show that the network dynamics improve the nonlinear encodin...

Numerical simulation of a geothermal reservoir, modelled as a bottom-heated square box, filled with water-CO2 mixture is presented in this work. Furthermore, results for two limiting cases of a reservoir filled with either pure water or CO2 are presented. Effects of different parameters including CO2 concentration as well as reservoir pressure and temperature on the overall performance of the s...

EAGE Workshop: Integrating Reservoir Engineering with Geology and Geophysics, 26 May 2002 Summary This paper will describe a technique for generating an ensemble of history matching models using the Neighbourhood Approximation algorithm. Using the ensemble of models generated, we demonstrate how uncertainty in reservoir performance prediction can be quantified by sampling from the posterior dis...

SUMMARY The forthcoming generation of many-core architectures compels a paradigm shift in algorithmic design to effectively unlock its full potential for maximum performance. In this paper, we discuss a novel approach for solving large sparse linear systems arising in realistic black oil and compositional flow simulations. A flexible variant of GMRES (FGMRES) is implemented using the CUDA progr...
